Alexander Morgan Trotter

Tonight I am sad to share that last night 3/3/09 at 11:56 pm our sweet baby boy came into this earth for a short period of time. He weighed 3 oz and was 6 inches long. So small, yet so beautiful!! He blessed us with his presence for nearly an hour before going to meet Jesus. We named him Alexander Morgan and it suited him to a tee. He was a true fighter til the end, a true miracle.

To answer some of your questions:
I had been having some spotting for a little over a week but was in contact with the doctors and the hospital. I had been checked out two times, one of which being yesterday morning. We had an ultrasound where Alexander looked so strong and healthy and was moving like crazy. That is when we learned he was a he and that he actually measured big! We left with a great piece of mind and went home to relax. Sadly, that evening things took a turn for the worse and i realized quickly that the cramps i had been feeling were actually contractions. Within an hour of being at the hospital and hoping for the best my water broke and we knew our time with him on earth was going to be limited. Morgan quickly scheduled a flight home from Orlando, FL and arrived this morning. Things went as well as can be expected for this situation. We were blessed with great nurses, doctors, and especially family and friends to support and love us. Thank you everyone for all your thought and prayers. We were able to say goodbye to our precious Alexander this morning and despite the tragedy and heartache we are determined to make a positive impact out of his short life. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Love always, The Trotters

If you ever need to talk, please get my info from Becky. I had 2 miscarriages after Sophie was born and then lost a 3rd pregnancy at 17 weeks. So, I know what you're going through. I'll be praying that God continues to give you peace that passes understanding.
God Bless!
