remembering our Angel: Adelyn Jade Hilmes

I went into work on Tuesday, June 12th like any other day. I got a call around lunch time from my doctors office who was actually calling in regards to another patient. I ended up telling her that I haven’t felt my baby girl move in a couple of days and was wondering if I should come in just to make sure that everything was fine. She gave me an afternoon appointment and that’s the last time that I thought about it. Since I had no idea that something so horrible could be wrong, I didn’t even bother asking my husband to come with me. I arrive at my appointment, still not sure what to expect, just thought that she was “chill” like her daddy. My doctor gave me an ultrasound and in that moment my life stopped. Our precious little Adelyn Jade no longer had a heartbeat.

I ended up giving birth to our little angel June 13, 2012 @7:47pm. She weighed 1lb 12oz and was 14.35 inches long. Her umbilical cord was unusually long and got twisted; there was nothing we could do.

I wanted to write just a little something so that I can give all of our friends/family answers to the questions I know that you have and also provide you with her funeral service information in case you wanted to attend. We really appreciate all the calls/texts that we have been receiving and your kind words during this most difficult time.
