Sad news to relate

I'm very sad to share that "Daisy" is not going to be joining us for the party of life. She suffered from a very rare infection to her still-developing brain that was too much to survive with.  

We're going to take a few months to grieve and then try again. We (S and I), want a child of our own. We love each other so very much, and we just wanted to spread that love out a little more. I guess anytime you take that step, you take this risk. I have some wonderful friends coming to help us this week just get through things. So don't worry too much. Both of us are very hurt, but we're completely together on this. 

 I'm so sorry to have to tell you this after we got you so excited. We were so very close to that third trimester and thought we were out of any danger. We'd actually passed every diagnostic ultrasound, blood test, etc with flying colors. This was a complete shock. But our new home is beautiful; full of birds, sunshine, and fruit trees, so we have a good place to heal up.
