What an amazing blog; a real tribute to Whitney's legacy! I'm so amazed watching the Spirit in your faces during an unbelievable trial. I have come across other blogs with similar stories (although all are very unique of course). One is from a girlfriend I attended MOPS with...if you're interested her blog is http://casadeperkins.blogspot.com/ and her story can be found under the section called Baby Paul. The You tube video of the birthing room and the journal entries are Simply Amazing! I pray but nothing but the best for you and the future of your growing family. God Bless,
Meredith

I stumbled upon your blog through baby center. I won't go into too many details about my story...suffice it to say it's about exactly the same as yours. Except mine doesn't have a Triploidy diagnosis...but something similar. Our baby boy was born on April 1, 2010. He weighed a mere 12 ounces. We miss him everyday. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope all of our little angel babies are playing together in Heaven.

What an incredible story. You seem like very strong people. I came across your blog when looking something up on babycenter, before I new it I had read your whole blog. I am amazed. I don't know you at all and I completely crying reading your story. I am so sorry to hear about your sweet little angel. I hope the future holds much joy and happiness for your family.

I just read your entire blog. You are truely an amazing couple. You have done a wonderful job honoring Whitney.

I went to church on easter and it killed me. Sent me into a month long depression. Haven't been back. Normally I go with my mother on mothers day, last year I was pregnant. They always ask the mothers to stand. I do not think I can bare the pain.

I have just read your entire website. What a tribute to Whitney. I too lost my baby boy Gabriel born at 21 weeks on November 13, 2002 from Triploidy. Although it gets easier, it is never gone away. My thoughts and prayers are with you especially this Mother's Day weekend.

Thats so sad! Really, why would god not let you hold your baby girl when she was alive? God sets a path for us all, but sometimes that path is honestly (for the sake of my parents not killing me ill put it this way) messed the heck up. But, i guess its all for our good. Hope yall will one day be able to hold yalls own precious little baby in your arms. I will definately put that code on my site!

Hi there,
I think I found your blog through babycenter. I was lurking the loss board around after losing my daughter, Madelynn (at 36 weeks), in February. I just wanted you to know that I've appreciated reading your posts and how you glorify God through the storm. I've shared a very similar response to our loss as you do to yours. We have felt the comfort and peace that can only come from a relationship with Jesus. I also started a blog to share with family and friends (www.madelynnlorene.blogspot.com). It is such a blessing to know how our babies lives have touched so many people and that our responses help others see the love of God. Thank you for sharing your story as it helps to hear the story of another mom who knows what it's like to lose a baby.
Blessings to you,
Denise

Shey,
I had been reading your 365 blog as well but no longer have access to it. I would very much like to be re-instated if possible. I have been so incredibly impressed with your courage, your "realness" in sharing..I feel I have learned much from you and, through you, believe my own faith walk has been strengthened. Thank you for adding my "brick" to your blog....
I do think of you and Sean and Whitney so often. I would like to be able to invite you to my Shutterfly website also so you can get to know me a bit, too, but I would need your email address for that. You are an amazing young woman!
Blessings, Linda

I came to your blog through my cousin Amanda, angel Layla Rae's mom. Thank you for honoring Amanda and Layla on her birthday.

Thank you also for sharing your story. My niece Nevaeh Rae Wallace passed away 14 months ago at the age of 14 months. It is amazing how precious life is and even though at times it may be short it can impact others incredibly for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing Whitney's story and for being incredible parents to love her and carry on her legacy well.

Praying the Lord's blessings upon you as you continue to walk through this season of grief.

In Christ, Jaime

Shey,

Thank you for sharing the beauty that is your daughter Whitney. My prayers go out to both of you that you can hold another child in your arms as well. I too lost my son, Hannan, to triploidy, although at 17 weeks. I haven't been able to do as much to memorialize him, and you've quite inspired me. I know our babies are in heaven, looking at God and wondering when their mommy will come home to them. Thank you for sharing your strength, faith and desire for God.

Hi my name is Emily Holbert. I am so so sorry to hear about your loss. On April 9, 2009, my little daughter Claire Marie, went to Heaven. I was 37 weeks and her precious little heart stopped beating. There are more details to how that happened but it would be better to tell you at another time. It has been a hard year, but with my wonderful church family, Northside Christian Church, I have been able to get to this point. When I lost Claire, a frien told me that Claire was chosen by God because she was just too beautilfu to stay on earth. I think that Whitney Jill was too. They are in Heaven together now having the time of their lives. One day we will be ablet o see them again.
God Bless,
Emily

I just read your blog on your delivery and I actually brought tears to my eyes. It is so very similar to mine. I truely know how you feel. It is a hard part of life, but I know that these things happen for a reason. I was truely blessed to be able to read your story. And I hope that if there is anything that I can do to help you that you will let me know. I am feeling mixed emotions again over m y daughter and it always helps to talk to someone who knows what I am feeling.

What a beautiful story! God is good. So proud of the glory you gave God. Please read my blog if you get a chance. www.ourgift-2010.blogspot.com

You and your husband are an inspiration!

[Chris]

Just wanted to let you know I am continually thinking of you and praying for your continued comfort. I come to your blog often to just read how you are doing and to know more specifically how I can pray for you. I am still working on the Scripture book (it got packed away during the move last month and now that we're in TN I need to unearth my crafting supplies so I can finish it up and send it to you soon!).

Praying God's hand of comfort on you . . .

[Stacey Scott]

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. My husband and I found out in July that the baby girl we were expecting has triploidy. Your blog has helped me in so many ways. This is definitely the hardest thing we have experienced. Thank you again for sharing. There is so little information out there.

Thank you for sharing your story - of your daughter and your walk with God. Our walk with God is certainly not all roses - but even in the painful times there are roses. I am blessed to be the mother of 3 sons (first I carried in my heart - adoption and the second 2 I carried the traditional way). I have also experienced 2 miscarriages. Each of those 2 times I was pregnant was such a joy despite ending before I was ready. I am sorry more than I can say that things did not happen how you had hoped and dreamed. I am so glad that you had the joy of Whitney. I will pray for you.

[Tegan Acree]

I happened upon your blog purely by chance and am glad I did. Your story is so inspirational. I read your blog from cover to cover twice! My husband and I have lost three children ourselves and now run a public charity called Hiring for Hope and we have several free services for couples that have lost a child and or are experiencing obstacles to building their families, including a virtual Brave Little Soul Beach Playground. I wanted to invite you to check us out and invite you to add your precious angel baby to the beach playground along with ours. www.hiringforhope.org

Little Whitneys story brought tears to my eyes as I remember my baby boy Jamari, who I gave birth to just 12 days ago, at 4 months along after he was diagnosed with triploidy..I am wondering if you have a facebook account or email address so that I could get in contact with you?? Your website is beautiful, you have done your baby girl so proud.

I found your blog through Babycenter, and I just wanted to tell you that your beautiful princess and I share a birthday. :)
Your faith is incredible, and I pray for God's blessings on your family!
In His love,

[Mark Thesken]

I will be with you guys in prayer on the 9th. God bless you and I pray for His comfort and peace upon you, especially as you attend the Remember L.A. event. I am hopeful that the event will be an uplifting and faith building experience for you both. God's peace....
-Mark

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I lost my baby to triploidy nearly 3 years ago and it is still difficult, especially on her birthday, holidays, and original due date. I will keep you and Whitney in my thoughts.

[Charlene Hummel]

Today I was thinking of my baby who was born in 1982 at 29 weeks -- Erin Louise. She had complete triploidy. Unlike your baby, she was quite abnormal looking, even taking into account her early entry into the world. It was the hardest thing I have ever endured and, in 1982, no one was prepared to deal with this anomally, so I was not taken care of like you were. I dealt with it the best I could, though, and two years later I had twins -- healty boy and girl. I will NEVER forget my little Erin. When I had my wedding ring changed after 25 years of marriage, I had 5 diamonds put in it -- one represented Erin, the other two were my twins, the larger two were my husband and I. Our family of 5! I love how you remembered your daughter. I wish I had had the support you did, but more is known about triploidy now. I wish that I could have walked with you on October 9th, but today is October 11th and I just discovered your blod. Thank you for the post! Our babies are in Heaven together!

[Lindsey Bell]

I don't remember if I left a comment earlier or not...The last few weeks have been a blur. We lost our baby at 12 weeks, 1 day. Baby Eden left my womb on October 15, 2010 (which I have now learned is a National Remembrance Day). Thank you for sharing your story in your blog. It's amazing to me how much I relate to the feelings and emotions you have written about. Whitney will be remembered. And I pray Eden is remembered as well. Thanks again:)
