This is Baby Parker #2. Like his/her brother/sister, he/she is not named. Unlike his/her brother/sister, this one didn't make it past one cell. He/she tried (see the tiny bits of fragmentation around the edge?), but just couldn't do it.
Again, we're sad (understatement) but trusting in Jesus. We were inspired to worship God despite the devastating news that the little one wouldn't grow any further. I mean, that microscopic cell has a soul, and we'll know that precious soul in all its fullness in heaven! Isn't that amazing?
And, hey, at least this time we got a picture! I don't know any parents who have a picture of their kid at only one cell. Bragging rights, yo.
Sometimes I just listen to this song on repeat. I close my eyes and hold out my hands and listen and agree. Getoutchakleenex...

Oh Nicole, I'm so sorry for your loss and your longing. :( Praying that you will become a mommy very soon.
Nicole, you are PRECIOUS....I love you and your amazing blog that makes me laugh so much, and today, cry. I am sorry you have to wait until heaven to meet these babies..but when you do.....oh boy....
golly, you are a precious soul...
Praying for you both. So sorry your going through this loss...
So sorry, friend. (understatement) Someday heaven. Come Lord Jesus. Love you.
Jesus. I am so thankful that God has promised you, my precious friend, that a bruised reed He will not crush. Love all 4 of you.
So sad. So sorry.
I am so, so sorry for what you guys are going through. Infertility is one of the scariest and loneliest and most humbling roads I've ever walked down. Praying God shines light in you and through you as you walk this road. And praying that someday (soon!!!) your prayers for a baby will be answered.
I'm so so sorry my beautiful friend. Love you so.
Thank you for sharing with us. I think that is a wonderful picture to be treasured for many years to come. I will keep praying for you and Nathan...
