Nataleigh Grace Buchinger & Liam Charles Kelly

Our precious little Nataleigh was born on July 16th, 2009 at 9:37pm. She weighed 5lbs 13oz and was 18" long! She came 24 days early but God has a reason for it! Her stay in the hospital was 5 days....she had some problems with jaundice and she had trouble with eating. After we were released we were home for a few days trying to get adjusted to being parents! My mom came down to help us for a few days and was a huge help to us! We are so appreciative to her for helping us out the first days we were at home. We weren't home too long (only till Thursday) when we got a call that Nate's sister was in labor and we were told we need to come up because they didn't think their little boy was going to make it. We packed our bags and left and made our way up to the hospital to join our family in support to Pat & Megan. We got a phone call on our way up that their little boy, Liam Charles Kelly, was a stillborn. He went to be in the arms of Jesus. As Nate & I drove up there we were both extremely saddened and blessed at the same time. We had a one week old in the car and just found out that our nephew had died. We questioned why did it turn out like this? Why are we so blessed to have our little girl and Pat & Megan are left with broken hearts? I know I don't understand why it happened....it's something we'll never know until we get to heaven. Megan has been such a strong individual through this whole situation. She has over come many obstacles through this pregnancy and when Liam died just before she gave birth I thought to myself...it's just not fair!!!!!! God why couldn't you just heal her little guy? Wouldn't you get a lot more glory out of healing him instead of taking him from us? These are thoughts that I know I struggle with...I can't imagine being Megan in this extremely hard trial...it has made me realize just how strong an individual she is. My heart goes out to both Pat & Megan and I know there are no words to console a grieving heart but all I can do is offer my ear to listen if need be, to cry to or tell me things or if you want to scream with me I'll be there for you!

Love,
Emileigh
