Hey everyone. Some of you have already heard, but if not, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. We found out we lost the baby on Monday. I went in for a routine doctor's visit that afternoon, and they could not find the heart beat. They did a few ultrasounds, and sure enough, it was not beating anymore. Because I was already 19 weeks a long, the baby was too big and developed to handle it like they would have with a normal miscarriage, so much to our dismay, we had to be admitted to Labor and Delivery and they induced labor. I gave birth to Jaden Bryce Barfuss on May 5, 2009 at 6:36 in the morning. He looked just like a perfect little baby, fully developed, with 10 fingers and 10 toes and everything. Only, super, super tiny. He was just 4 ounces, and 7 1/2 inches long.
He will be buried with his Great Grandpa Max at his grave site in Tremonton this Friday. We are all doing pretty good despite the circumstances, and feel very blessed to have gotten to see and hold his tiny little body. It gave us some closure. We can't wait till we get to meet his sweet spirit and get to know him in heaven some day.
Thank you for all of your love and support.
One more step to complete automation!

Oh Josi you have such a good attitude!! It's so nice to have the knowledge that we do, it gives some comfort. I still can't imagine what you have gone through! He must have been so special that Heavenly father couldn't stand that thoughts of not having him there, so he allowed him to receive his body and return home! We will keep you in our prayers!!
Josi, I am so sorry you have to go through such a difficult time. I love your attitude, you are so positive. It really helps having the knowledge that we will get to see them again someday. I pray that you will have strength and comfort through this. I agree with Melonie about Jayden receiving his body and returning home with Heavenly father. Such a special spirit he truly must have been. You are lucky to have him in your family. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
