Beautiful Babies Due in 2011 (Combined Group)

[lou71]

Leora -- I just logged on to see if you had an update and saw your post. I wish I wasn't at work so I could cry more. I'm just so sorry for what you and your husband have been through. Not just this time, but what your history has been also. It's just too much. I know how badly you both want to be parents. I want that for you so much. I prayed so hard for your little miracle baby to live, I'm sure we all did. We were all touched by your blog and your babies were amazing. I just wish there was something I could do other than cry for them. Leora... forgive me if I'm out of line a little bit here but I know you will want to try again when the time is right and you have beautiful embryos and beautiful babies, but is it at all feasible for you to use a gestational carrier next time? If I were in Israel and under 35 years old, I would volunteer to carry your babies in a heartbeat. I love you and am just so devastated. Please let me know if there's anything I can do. Your grief is unimaginable. XOXO

Oh Leora... I can't believe you two have to endure the agonizing pain of losing your babies yet again... My heart hurts for you. I know there aren't any words that can comfort you or make even a tiny bit of the pain go away, but I hope it helps some to know we are all here for you, praying for you, crying with you, wishing like hell there was something we could do...

Hi ladies,

I wish I could see some of your pics from work but the darn firewall here blocks a lot of them. I'll log in from my phone and take a look later. So many beautiful babies! I have to be honest... I'm really broken up over what Leora has been through this past week. It's so unfair and makes me so sad. I did have an OB appt today and received good news. My baby is measuring in at the 75th percentile and weighs 3.25 lbs. The amniotic fluid is normal, placental blood flow normal, and she's an active little baby. I feel so blessed to be where I am right now. And honestly, a bit guilty because someone else I care about is hurting so much. I was given the OK to continue exercise and I go back in two weeks for an NST. I took my 1 hr GD test today but won't get results back until tomorrow. Fingers crossed I pass! Work is still kicking my butt and I'm just so busy here. It's all OK though. I'll make it. My work shower yesterday was a lot of fun. I got some great gifts from my staff including some beautiful little girl clothing.

Leora - I've just read your blog and am absolutely gutted to read the sad news about your two lovely little boys, Micha and Asaf. Sometimes life is just so unfair. I know that you will treasure the short time that you spent with them both but also wish that they could have stayed with you. I'm thinking of you...

Leora,
I just read the latest update on fb, and I feel like we all lost a loved one in our hearts. So many of us have been pulling and praying for you and this is earthshattering news. I know there are no words of comfort during this time Leora. It breaks my heart to see any of our cycle family go through something like this, because we've always been there for one another so I feel like we are family.

The babies went through so much intensive critical care and reading the babies personal journey taught me so much about them, squeeznig your finger how much they loved and seeing their videos made it all so real and personal. Thank you for sharing that and we know Asaf' got to open his eyes to see his mommy and daddy telling him how much they love him. For them they gave their biggest fight to live. The other doctor didn't believe they would make it past birth but we have to know even to see them, made it all worth it! We know they fought and struggled to live yet had many complications, like you said too little to survive the heart and the kidney complications. It might of been continuous battles everyday, and I know it must be hard to say goodbye and let them go. I truly believe we never let go of our babies, in our heart they will always be there with us. Those babies sure did love you Leora and even got to squeeze your finger to tell you how much they cared for their mother. I know it's way to early to do anything but grieve right now, take all the time you need. I'm sorry if my post is emotional, I am so lost for words but want you know I am here if you need anything.

Leora - I'm so sorry for the terrible losses you've endured. I was so hopeful that Asaf would be able to overcome the challenges he would face and you and David would be able to take him home in time. My heart is broken for you and David. I'm so sad and angry that you have had to experience so much pain as you try to build your family. It's just not fair. No one should have to experience what you and David have. Again, I'm so very sorry Leora.

Leora- I logged on tonight hoping for good news but didn't know what to do but cry for you as I read what happened. I know that no words can make the situation any easier. You and David have already endured so much and I was hoping more than anything that you would take baby Asaf home. I am so sorry for your losses and hope you know we are all here if you need anything at all. My heart breaks for you both.

Leora - i am so so sorry! there are no words. no one should have to go through this much pain. oh - its so sad. your boys were beautiful little people. please accept my condolescences. no words can equate the level of your pain right now.
i love you very mcuh and i am so sorry you have to go through such difficult times. and for someone who is only 24 and just trying to have a family. no one should have to go through this.

So sorry Leora, i was keeping up with your blog and was sadden to see the news. My prayers go out to you and your husband. I know life isn't fair. One of these days, you will be able to bring a baby home.

[deftonesmo]

Leora -- I don't have the words. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I knew why bad things happen to good people. It's not fair and doesn't make sense. When my dad was dying, I read a book called "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" by Harold Kushner . . . he's a Jewish rabbi. . . It brought me a small bit of solace . . . not much, but a bit . . . you and DH and the boys are in my thoughts . . .

[kjm1824]

Leora - I am so so sorry for your loss. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers. My heart just breaks for you and I wish i could say something to help you. All I can do is let you know that you are very loved in this community and we are all here pulling for you and praying for you. I am deeply sorry. I just can't believe it and I have no understanding.

[BlissfulCS]

Leora- I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Asaf. I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling at having those two beautiful boys for such a short time. Your cyber friends are hear for you when you are ready and need us.

[Wishingandhoping]

Leora- There are no words to express how saddened I know we all are by the loss of your boys. Just know that we are all thinking about you and praying for you and David. You are very loved.

[mellow4]

Leora, there are no words to comfort you right now that I could possibly say. As a mother that has lost children as you have, I know the heartbreak, and I feel it with you. Your heart will one day heal, but until then, let your tears flow, and let the love of those around lift you up when you feel you can't go on. Sending you and David love and prayers. I wish there was more I could do, and I pray it's enough.
