'm just sitting here crying after hearing the news about Jessica. I have no idea what to say other than she is in my thoughts continuously and that she has touched my heart and I know the hearts of many others. I'm just so sad that those boys are going to lose their mother. It just seems so horribly cruel and unfair.

Thanks for the updates

Jess, I am so sorry you have to leave your little ones. I know that you wanted so badly to be with them. You lit up the Sept DDC with your daily posts.
May you finally find peace..........may your family find peace.......and may you be in your sister's embrace again. Your light will shine on your family.

[jmhammond]

don't know what to say. I can't believe how quickly this has gone for Jess...it seems like just yesterday Gavin was born.

I am so sorry for thier loss. Thanks for the updates Jessica, I will continue to pray for them.

It's just tearing me up. I can't stop crying. I am so sad for her and for her boys and her husband and everyone. It is all too fast and too unfair. It just hurts too much.

I just keep going back and forth between her threads, hoping for and fearing an update. :::

[beemama]

I'm at a loss for words

wishing Jess peace

Prayers, peace & comfort to her family.

This is all so sad. I just lost a friend (40 years old) to breast cancer. Her boys are 7 and 4. I cannot imagine the heartbreak for families touched by this terrible, ruthless disease

: for mighty-mama and her family.

nikkihoi, Keep up all your awesome efforts momma! It can be so frustrating to have breastfeeding difficulties but you know that you are working at it.

I am also wondering about princess Charlie...

I have never tried ec so it is interesting to hear more about it. I considered it this time around but decided I had zero tolerances for misses due to my older bedwetter and a 2 yo that controls her own toilet learning. (as they all should but she really doesn't do it my way ) We do use the baby bjorn little potty as a porta-potty and think it is cute.

here is the latest photo of Linus

Sending comfort as best I can to Mighty-Mama and her loved ones.

Mommajb - Look at those big kissable cheeks and beautiful eyes!

[Faliciagayle]

mommajb - Linus is adorable!

Baby update: Chaya started laughing today!!! A huge, from her belly, totally adorable LAUGH! I was holding her naked in front of the bathroom mirror before her bath, and I went "psssss" and she just let out the most wonderful, beautiful, perfect sound. It made me laugh, which made her laugh. I called over Dad and did it again and we all started laughing. The best ever

I have been avoiding this forum for fear of what I might hear about Jess. I just can't believe it. My best friend's mother died a few years ago, and she held on for the longest time...she held on until her daughter finally had the courage to tell her to go. I sat by my friend's side as she said it, and I know her mother was holding on because she thought my friend needed her here on earth. Perhaps Jess is just having a hard time letting go of her little ones. I just can't imagine, and I cry everytime I think about it. May there be mercy in her last hours.

I just don't understand why this has to happen NOW. Those poor boys and her poor dh.

Here is a picture of Waylon in my new didymos wrap:

I had to run for a minute...we have all been sick. I have had to take the kids in to the doctor every day since Monday, which is a 160 mile round trip...and its been cruddy weather. Waylon has bronchitis, but seems to be better today. His oxygen levels were finally above 90 this morning. I am exhausted, but I feel horrible even feeling bad about that, because we are all here, and will be here tomorrow. I just wish there was more I could do for Jess!

I want to catch up on this thread...but probably won't. I'm sorry mamas.

[mommajb]

Thanks, those cheeks are special.

FaliciaGayle - Enjoy the belly laughs and know that you must have one happy baby.

Forestry mom, Waylon looks so snug with you. I hope you are all feeling better and more well rested soon and you can stop making those long trips in bad weather.

Hug your loved ones close Mommas! :

Most definitely. I read the update that Jessica left earlier (BTW, thanks for keeping us informed) and was torn apart. Right after I pulled myself together, I hugged Aili so tightly and told her that I love her.

forestrymom and mommajb, your little boys are precious.

Good morning everyone...if you can call it that. I write this in total disbelief, but also with thanks and peace when I tell you that Jessica aka Mighty-Mama passed away this morning, 12/21, at 1:45 am. I can't believe she's really gone. My heart is absolutely broken into a million little pieces. I promised her I would make sure here babies were ok and I will. I will tell them how there is the most beautiful angel in heaven looking down on them and that is their mommy. No child should have to go through this. I am so devastated, angry, overwhelmingly sad and at the same time so relieved that she is not suffering anymore. I saw her yesterday and told her it would be ok. Now I know that it is.

Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers. Please considering donating to her family foundation (link is in my signature). They are very much in need.

Peace and love be with all of you and your families today and always.
