First, thank you to everyone for their outpouring of thoughts and prayers in the past few days and weeks. They've been felt and much needed.

Meridith and Shaun checked into Texas Health Harris Methodist on Wednesday evening and were induced on Thursday around 10am. After several hours of labor, Paisley went into distress rather quickly after Meridith's water broke and she had an emergency c-section on Thursday evening. Thankfully, the doctors were able to avoid full anesthesia and Shaun was able to join Meridith in the operating room. 

Miss Paisley Alexis was born at 9:54pm on Thursday, November 15th. She weighed 3 lbs 5 ounces, was 16 inches long, and was absolutely beautiful. She passed away moments after she was given to her parents. While the heartbreak we feel is immense, we have peace knowing that she felt no pain and for her entire life, she knew nothing but love. She was such a brave girl for 9 months and fought so hard to meet her parents..and once she did, she was ready to move on to her heavenly home and now she is with Jesus. 

The loss is devastating. While our faith is our foundation and we have peace in knowing her life was one of the most beautiful, our grief is immense. Please keep Meridith and Shaun, and their family and friends, in your thoughts and prayers. They are needed now more than ever.
