On June 19th, 2006 Amy was 17 weeks pregnant and her water broke. She spent the next 12 weeks in the hospital hoping for the best for our first son. On September 9th, 2006, at 29 weeks pregnant, Samuel Hunter was born at 12:01p.m. He weighed 2 lbs. 9 oz. and was 15 3/8 inches long. Soon after birth, the doctors confirmed our worst fears - Samuel's lungs had failed to
develop properly because of the lack of fluid for so long during his development. Five hours after he was born, Samuel took his last breath and left our arms for the arms of Jesus. 
We will never forget Samuel and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. We would not trade the months on bedrest or anything else we have for those few short moments we had to hold him and tell him that we love him.

It was by far the hardest thing we have ever been through, but the support of each other and our friends and family helped us to deal with our grief and learn to move ahead, though again, not forgetting our first baby boy.

Amy,
No matter how many times I see handsome little Samuel it breaks my heart to know the journey you have been on. You are a very brave mommy and I hope and pray everyday that little Zachariah is safe in your arms.
Hugs,
