My twin died in utero when my mother was carrying us. I've always felt a missing part of me. I never got to know her & it still pains me years & years later.
Dear Lauren, Mark, Hunter, Bennett, Weston, Everett, Miss Luna and the extended families. Sending our deepest heartfelt condolences. Maggie will be forever in our hearts. Sleep peacefully precious Girl and watch over your little sister Baby B. Until we meet again. 🙏
I am so sorry for your family losing Magnolia. She will always be your daughter and the kids' sister. How special you were given the time to hold her and grieve, and say goodbye. Blessed be, Magnolia, your family loves you.
I’m sorry that I’m just now seeing this, I’m so sorry for your loss!!! I can’t even imagine how hard it was during this time. Sending hugs and prayers!
Your sweet Maggie will always be your Christmas angel. How special she chose that day to come and you were able to spend so much quality time with her. Continued prayers for Baby B!
Our naturally occurring triplet grandchildren went through similar circumstances. Two identical girls and a boy. The two girls were diagnosed with severe TAPS. They were unable to do surgery because of placement but did send them to Cincinnati where they have blood transfusions to donor baby through mom’s belly. They were all given about a 5% chance of survival. They were delivered at 30 weeks. The donor girl has had brain surgery, cerebral palsy and drs. Didn’t think she would ever walk. Today, they are 5 years old, in kindergarten. Donor girl runs and jumps. I am so very sorry about your difficult loss.🙏🏻❤️
My heart is breaking 💔😢along with yours. Maggie was born on our Savior’s birthday, wow, a blessing in itself. Baby B is blessed as well, continuing to grow. My love and prayers are with you and your family. You are a very strong woman and I am sending you continuous strength and positivity.
I am so so sorry for your loss. I really feel your pain and know the heartache you are all enduring. My heart is breaking for you all. I gave birth at only 20weeks and my beautiful little angel Leanne passed at 3 days old. The sole day that you and Mark spent with Maggie, just holding her and loving her will be the most cherished memories you will ever have. Our little girls are in the arms of Jesus, and this is our comfort, until we are all together again. My prayers are with you all ❤
As someone who experienced losing a twin in 2023, I am with you in solidarity. My goodness, I never resonated with a video more. Thank you so much for sharing your story, your courage and bravery will help so many people - more than you’ll ever know. Sending you and your family all the love and light.
I love the automatic soothing motion of bouncing baby Maggie. As a mom that resonates so much. My mother lost a premature baby 30 years ago. It took a long time for some of us to find peace. Even though the baby was number 11 out of 13 she was loved and mourned and missed by her parents and siblings. May the Lord bless you and our Heavenly Father comfort you in His arms.
Sharing this will help so many families who have kept quiet about such a loss. Nobody wants to talk about or feel these feelings but you have shown great strength and courage. You have so honored Magnolia.
So much love to all of you. I wasn’t aware that you could deliver one baby and not both. Baby Magnolia(Maggie)was and will always be your Christmas baby. It wasn’t the outcome to you hoped and prayed for, but a Christmas miracle did happen that day. Blessings to all of your family. Her birth day being on Christmas will always be special.
You and Mark are so brave, when your grief must be overwhelming. What a beautiful name you chose for your precious baby. Wonderful that you had that quiet, special time with her.
What a Beautiful day for Maggie to be born. She truly will be a Christmas Angel forever in your family. Blessings to all of you and continued prayers for her sister.❤
Lauren, this video is beautiful. It shows so much bravery, dignity, character, grace and love. Thank you for sharing your Magnolia with us. We are with you and your family on this journey. Sending hugs your way.......
I lost my son at 18 in a car wreck. That day, my life changed forever. Loss of a child no matter how old is something no parent should have to go through. My prayers are with all of you!! You are so strong to tell and share your story with us. May God Bless you all!!! Lots of love and prayers from Kansas!
I'm so sorry that you lost your son so tragically. My heart goes out to you. After losing my infant triplets, I eventually found the Compassionate Friends support group. I finally was able to give my daughters a voice without judgment. What a wonderful group of people because each member has sadly walked in our shoes in one way or another. I have certainly learned that some lives are measured in utero, some in minutes, hours, days, weeks and years. The pain we feel is the same because these lives were cut short. Love and prayers from British Columbia
@@SherryDyck Thank you so much! Sorry sorry for your loss. I totally agree no matter the age it changes your life forever. It is a void that can never be replaced. Lots of prayers!
I've cried along with you watching this video. Precious Maggie will now be a guardian angel for her brothers and her sister as well as you and Mark. She's now in such a loving place with God. I will continue to send you prayers.
OH sweetheart I am so sorry for your loss. I lost correction we lost our only daughter after thirty one hours from birth . I have prayed daily since then. That no parent ever has to go through this pain again. I guess I just didn't pray hard enough. In any case I feel you pain and fully understand where you are. Please know you are not alone with your grief. Those of us who have been here are sending love,prayers and hugs for you all.
Dear loved ones, you will never know how many people you have helped by sharing your journey. So thankful that the medical community provides parents the time they need with their angels as this wasn't the practice years ago. Continued prayers for you & the family and the continued growth of Maggie's twin.
Hugs and prayers to all of you. Such a blessing that Maggie was able to physically be held and loved by you! When I lost my son, Kristopher, in 1980, they did not have the knowledge of bereavement that they do now. I went on to specialize in the field and during my training, God allowed me to come full circle and be present with a mom delivering her baby girl that had died in utero. God is powerful as he provides us with just what we need. Together, that mother and I mourned our babies, me 15 years after that tragic time! Hugs Lauren, blessings will come from so many of the moments that are heartbreaking and God has you all in the palm of his hand!💝🙏🏻🎄
Sending many prayers and hugs your way. May God wrap his arms around your entire family! Magnolia will forever be your sweet angel! She will forever remain in all of our hearts!
I lost a baby in august at 20 weeks because he stopped growing i was crying right along with you and know exactly what you mean when you say its like a weight on your chest. Maggie will always be with you and im praying that everything goes smoothly with Baby B sending love from Scotland
What a beautiful tribute to Maggie. I had no idea that you could give birth to one baby and still be pregnant either! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Prayers for continued strength through the remainder of your pregnancy. So happy that Maggie got her own special birthday to always be remembered. Hoping Baby B will have a safe delivery. Hugs to you and your family. Stay strong Lauren. ❤❤
I had cried tears along with you. Sweet Maggie ( I love her name so much) wanted to share Christmas with her family. Even if as a precious sweet angel. She will share her special day with Jesus. And forever be a Christmas Angel.
Lauren, I just want to say you did such a wonderful job sharing the first part of your birth story, and taking care of yourself and your family. You should be so proud. You are a wonderful mama.
I cried along with you. Sharing your story has been so emotional and spiritual. It was so hard for you and Mark to have the time with Maggie but you were able to connect with your angel. May God keep watch on your family.
Lauren and Mark. You have handled the whole pregnancy of your twins with such grace and dignity. Thank you for sharing your story with us. My heart aches for you. Magnolia is such a beautiful name. She was born on a special day made just for her for you to always remember her. Sending prayers and love to you and your family.
My heart sank the minute I saw you in a hospital gown Lauren. There are no words I can express to you and your family now except I love you all. I don't question God's workings and pray that you and Mark and the family find some sort of solace. You're in my prayers.
My daughter was in a panic mode, she cried as she was so afraid Lauren had lost both babies. How sad this mission is that Lauren has had to endure. 🙏We pray for BABY B🙏
What a miracle! Many will not understand but for precious Maggie to be “born” on Christmas is such a gift from God. May you continue to be blessed and realize his miracles. ❤
Oh Lauren, thank you for sharing your story with us. I had a placental abruption at 30 weeks and it was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. My 30 weeker spent 6 weeks in the nicu but is now almost 6 months old and is doing great. You have been so brave and strong during this whole process. The nicu reddit community has been the most helpful resource for me throughout the whole process. Sending you the biggest hugs! I also wanted to add - thank you so much for sharing your precious Magnolia with us. I'm so glad you could have that time with just her. Everything else is hard to accept/understand I'm sure, but that alone time with her is something you'll always hold in your heart. My heart is just so heavy for you.
You are the bravest woman, I’ve never cried so hard. You are an amazing mother and I pray for all of you in this time of grief and this time of love ….
we lost both our identical twin girls almost 50 years ago, and the loss still is there. i had to focus on being thankful we had them even for such a brief time.
You are helping so many other families right now even though it is so heartbreaking to share and experience. Sending so much love to you and your family 🥰🇦🇺💕💕
Lauren, Mark, Hunter, Bennett, Weston, Everett and extended family, My heart aches for you all. I count it a privilege that you shared such an intensely personal journey with us. I am crying along with you.
Lauren I don't know how to explain how amazing yet sad Maggie made her biggest big sister sacrifice by being delivered prior to her sister and allowing all medical attention to her! It just seems so profound. ❤ God has your family ....continued blessings
I ache for your loss. How very special that our Lord gave her to you on His birthday and now she is forever in His arms . Prayers for all of you. Thank you for sharing, this will mean so much to so many n🙏🏻
So sorry for the loss of Magnolia Linda. I pray that her sister is born healthy at the appropriate time. She will always have Magnolia as her guardian angel. Praying for you and your entire family as you await the birth of Baby B.
Such a blessing for her to be born on Christmas Day. My prayers are for the whole family and prayers for little angle Magnolia to be cared for, loved, and treasured in Heaven. We are all with you.

Hi Lauren, woke up with you on my heart first thing this morning....thought to myself, she had her babies...opened my youtube account and your video was front and center (posted 3 hrs prior).

Such a precious little girl....safe in the arms of Jesus! Trusting that Baby B will come in His perfect timing! Much Love! ❤️
Aww this is so emotional. I love her name, little Magnolia. I can only imagine how emotional it is for you and your entire Lauren but I salute you. You are stellar and God will see you all through. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers ❤🙏🙏

I am so sorry for your heartache. Maggie is so special to so many of us, she will not be forgotten. A Christmas birth is beautiful, how lucky can one be to share this day of celebration with our Lord and Savior. ❤️
Thank You for sharing your birth story of baby Maggie. Tender and sweet that your had the time to just hold and love on her before baby B arrives. I don't alway have all the right words but I think it is an absolutely beautiful testimony that Maggie was born on Christmas Day! As you and Mark are continuing on this journey your are in my thoughts and prayers. Our first born son Elisha was born at thirty weeks. He did not need oxyegen, respirator, or have to be transferred However he did spend 3 weeks in the NICU he weighe 3lbs 13 oz and 16 inches when he was born. I was in the hospital for six days and my water eventually broke and he was born 23 minutes later. Hugs, prayers and tears on this journey for abundant life
What a beautiful name for a beautiful Angel 👼 thinking of you all at this hard time. Thank you for taking the time to share this emotional story ❤ much love, thoughts and hopeful wishes being sent your way ❤

My heart aches for all of you...Magnolia is up in heaven with the Lord and she can feel your love and hugs... I am touched that you shared something so personal with us... We are lifting you all up in our prayers... We love you all...❤
Dear Lauren, Mark and boys. Your Strength and love is amazing at this emotional time. Maggie will forever be your Christmas Angel. The time you shared with Maggie was so precious ,memories to remember. Wishing you all strength and love for the emotional time ahead with Baby B. Always in my prayer xx
I saw that your video had posted and I had to save it until I returned home. I knew I would feel the raw emotions alongside you and your family. I’ve watched you Mark and the boys for over a year and followed your journey with your two beautiful babies. What a journey it has been, albeit not all how was hoped and prayed for by me and many other of your followers. I still pray for you all daily. No words can comprehend what you are all going through. Love you and your family more than you can imagine.
I am heart broken for you, but also found Magnolia being born on Christmas day , sets her aside as an angel chosen by God. I know you have a strong faith, and i was lucky to be involved in special care when my baby girl was born with a rare syndrome, we had the best love and tender care, so my husband at the time was a chaplain in the area, and took over the special care unit, as a way to give back, so many hard stories but also so much special love. I pray you have a less traumatic few days weeks, and get to hold Maggies baby sister in your arms. Jesus said bring all the little children unto me, and he blessed them. ❤
My twin died in utero when my mother was carrying us. I've always felt a missing part of me. I never got to know her & it still pains me years & years later.
Dear Lauren, Mark, Hunter, Bennett, Weston, Everett, Miss Luna and the extended families. Sending our deepest heartfelt condolences. Maggie will be forever in our hearts. Sleep peacefully precious Girl and watch over your little sister Baby B. Until we meet again. 🙏
Amen!
O I don't now what to say except am so so sorry my prayers are with them and to all of yous bless🙏 the angels will hard over them👼👼
Amen 🙏🙏
Amen 🙏
Amen !❤
I am so sorry for your family losing Magnolia. She will always be your daughter and the kids' sister. How special you were given the time to hold her and grieve, and say goodbye. Blessed be, Magnolia, your family loves you.
I wrap my arms around you and send you my love... You now all have an angel, in heaven... You may not know it now, but God has blessed you...
I’m sorry that I’m just now seeing this, I’m so sorry for your loss!!! I can’t even imagine how hard it was during this time. Sending hugs and prayers!
Your sweet Maggie will always be your Christmas angel. How special she chose that day to come and you were able to spend so much quality time with her. Continued prayers for Baby B!

Oh Lauren. I don’t even know what to say. God knew you needed that time with Sweet Magnolia. That you and Mark needed the one on one time with her to hold her and grieve with no other distractions. And born on the day our Savior was also born. ❤ Continued prayers that Baby A can stay safe in the womb a little longer, with her big sister’s help, watching over her. ❤️

Thank You for sharing your birth story of baby Maggie. Tender and sweet that your had the time to just hold and love on her before baby B arrives. I don't alway have all the right words but I think it is an absolutely beautiful testimony that Maggie was born on Christmas Day!
As you and Mark are continuing on this journey your are in my thoughts and prayers. Our first born son Elisha was born at thirty weeks. He did not need oxyegen, respirator, or have to be transferred However he did spend 3 weeks in the NICU he weighe 3lbs 13 oz and 16 inches when he was born. I was in the hospital for six days and my water eventually broke and he was born 23 minutes later.
Hugs, prayers and tears on this journey for abundant life

Continuing to pray for you all through this time. 🙏 Maggie is most certainly your family’s precious angel. ❤
I saw that your video had posted and I had to save it until I returned home. I knew I would feel the raw emotions alongside you and your family. I’ve watched you Mark and the boys for over a year and followed your journey with your two beautiful babies. What a journey it has been, albeit not all how was hoped and prayed for by me and many other of your followers. I still pray for you all daily. No words can comprehend what you are all going through. Love you and your family more than you can imagine.
❤🙏 I am so sorry your sweet angel Maggie gained her wings. God Bless
I am heart broken for you, but also found Magnolia being born on Christmas day , sets her aside as an angel chosen by God. I know you have a strong faith, and i was lucky to be involved in special care when my baby girl was born with a rare syndrome, we had the best love and tender care, so my husband at the time was a chaplain in the area, and took over the special care unit, as a way to give back, so many hard stories but also so much special love. I pray you have a less traumatic few days weeks, and get to hold Maggies baby sister in your arms. Jesus said bring all the little children unto me, and he blessed them. ❤
