My sister Kristin and her husband Taylor lost their baby girl on Wednesday January 13th. They found out on Monday January 11th that baby Lexi was not growing and would not make it. Kristin was 25 weeks along. That night I told the kids during dinner that Kristin's baby was probably going to die. Brycen with tears in his eyes pushed his plate away and said he was not hungry anymore, he asked me several times, "Isn't there anything we can do mom?". He said "Heavenly Father didn't answer our prayers" (we had been praying often for Kristin's baby). We had to explain that sometimes Heavenly Father answers our prayers, but not in the way we would like Him to. Tuesday afternoon Kristin went in for another ultrasound and afterwards she called me and told me the baby was gone, we cried together on the phone. Wednesday baby Lexi was born, the hospital took great care of Kristin and Taylor and gave them several neat thing to remember the baby. Thursday I was able to make a quick trip home to be with Kristin and our family at this sad time. It was good to be together, I'm sure glad we have the knowledge that family's are forever.

Kristin has been in my thoughts and prayers. I feel so bad she has had to go through such a hard thing. I wish there was something I could do. I hope she is doing ok.
Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to Kristin, you and your family. My brother lost their little baby girl at the beginning of last year. She was about as far along as Kristin. Your family will be in my thoughts.
Kristin has also been on my mind and in prayers. I know that little Lexi is in the arms of our father in heaven and we will see her some day. Let my family know if she needs anything and let Kristin know we love her.
I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. Breaks my heart. Your family will be in our prayers.
I am so sorry....I couldn't even imagine how horrible that would be. But that is where the comfort of the Gospel comes in. How blessed we are to know that are perfect children are never forsaken and are on the right hand of God. My love is sent out to your sister and all of your family.
Kim, our family was so sorry to hear of Kristins news and she has been in our prayers, would you please let her know how much we love her and have been thinking of her.
