Dear SweetPea-
Last night at work was really hard.
A mom came in to have her baby and we couldn't find the baby's heartbeat. The baby passed away sometime yesterday evening and the mom delivered her yesterday night. She was a beautiful and delicate little girl. We were all crying, and no one could explain why things went bad so fast. The translator told me "don't cry, dear. God knows what will happen and why it will happen. Pray for these people in their grief and pray for your little one every day. Pray to Jesus and He will work it out."
It's still really hard not to cry.
Your daddy and I prayed for you and I cried for you a lot today.I can't even tell you how much we love you.
It's such a heavy, scary thing.... knowing that you're growing inside of me.
You're a miracle.And no matter what happens or what you do in your entire life, in however many years or days or minutes God gives you; know that you are desperately loved. You will always have a place in my heart that no one else can fill.
Sweet dreams tonight, my miracle.
love,
mommy

Its great to know a person that would go to god right away! =)
Ohhh Jo.
And the translator... is that God? 
It is such a miraculous, yet scary, terrifying, awe-inspiring thing to wait to bring the life you created into the world.
Alissa and I are holding our breath for our little one (a little boy) to come safely. So far, so good.
I empathize so much with y'all right now.
