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 !❤
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!
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🙏
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 have cried through this whole video. I'm praying for you, Mark, Baby B and the boys. I am so sorry for your loss
Me as well. I had to pause the video a few times.
Me too. Sending strength and prayers to you and your beautiful family.
Magnolia is such a beautiful name. She is truly an angel being born on Christmas morning. So glad that you and Mark got to spend the day with her. Prayers to you and 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.
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
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.❤
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.
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 ….
You are in good company, I cried so much making and editing this. Thanks for the prayers.
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.
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.
Aw❤ I had a 31wk born in August 2023. She was in NICU almost 8wks and is almost 5mo now. ❤
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.
Goodness. That just broke my heart. I am so so so sorry. I cried right along with you and for you. My condolences to you and your family. Your strength and resilience is amazing.
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
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!💝🙏🏻🎄
Such a heart-wrenching and beautiful story all mixed together. "Out of the ashes beauty will rise". Holding your whole family from across the miles. 🙏
This gave me goosebumps
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.
Love and prayers from Queensland, Australia. I’m in tears. You and your family are not alone. We are all here with you.
Another Queenslander sending you love and hopes for a safe delivery of baby B.
and another from Townsville

I can't even imaging how hard this must be for you and your family, dear Lauran. Rest well beautiful Maggie. You will always be loved. 🥺🥺♥♥
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.
I am honored to be a small part of your and Magnolias story. I am so sorry this turned out like this. You are strong and I am glad you are all surrounded by so much love.
I’m typing through tears but just wanted to say how incredibly strong and brave you guys are. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, it has blessed and changed so many. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss, but incredibly grateful and touched by the time you had with Maggie. A silly as it sounds you guys are like family and we love you all so much! Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers!
Yes, they are like our family. My daughter cried, I tried to keep my composure.
We think of Lauren and pray for her family.
My heart goes out to you and nd your family .I pray God wraps in his arms and helps you with your loss .
Amen 🙏 🙏 888pprayers
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. ❤❤
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.
Praying for you!
I'm so sorry for your loss, Prayers to you and your family as well. 🙏❤️
So sorry for your loss of baby Magnolia❤ You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!
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🙏🏻
I was an early baby girl, too. I was also born at 30 weeks. I weighed 2 pounds 10 ounces. I had a few setbacks too because when I was born in the mid 50's they did not have this modern technology. My mother's waters broke at 12 weeks and she was in hospital till I was born. I stayed in hospital for about 3.5 months and then I was 5 pounds, my left side was very slightly paralysed, which left me with sight problems and heating problems. Glasses and heating aids fixed that. As a child I was clumsy but I grew into it all. I didn't walk until I was two, but I could talk really real. I'm almost 70 now and have had a long and eventful life with 5 of my own children 1 girl and 4 boys. Life can be unpredictable sometimes but you gotta roll with it. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Haha forgot to add I was also born in December just after Christmas...the 30th.
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!
Y'all are in our prayers during this time of grief for baby Maggie and for baby B. What a very special birthday Maggie had.
I will never see twins the same again and will certainly cherish and appreciate them even more now seeing the journey and risks it takes to have them here...may your angel rest in perfect peace! Sending prayers from South America to you and your family Lauren ❤
😅
Dear Lauren, all your viewers are thinking about you and your family! We all love you.
What a beautiful name, so sorry for your loss I’m glad she got her own special time with you both. Hoping part 2 is full of joy for you all 😘
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.
You now have a Christmas Angel of your own. This story breaks my heart. You picked a beautiful name for her. Prayers for you and the whole family.❤
Dear Lauren, Mark, Hunter, Bennett, Weston, Everett, Miss Luna and the extended families. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My condolences are with you. Sweet Maggie will be with forever in you hearts. Hugs ♥
Peace be with you all. 🙏❤️
Amen pray 🙏
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. ❤️
Magnolia is a beautiful name. You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of Maggie. Big hugs, love and prayers to all of you through this journey.
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!
Just so much love to you all. ❤ Rest well gorgeous girl Maggie ❤️
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
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.
Thank you so much
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 and Mark thank you for sharing your experience. I had friends who lost their baby at 38 weeks and I remember how devastating that was. It was so lovely for you to share baby Magnolia with us all. Love to you all.
Lauren, mark, and boys, I am so sorry for your loss. Continuing to pray for y’all and your family and baby B. Thank you for sharing Magnolias story. I can’t imagine how difficult it was but know that baby girl has touched so many lives and will continue to do so
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.
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). Clearly the LORD placed you on my heart. He sees you and cares so deeply for your family. What a beautiful gift to get to hold your sweet Magnolia! Such a precious little girl....safe in the arms of Jesus! Trusting that Baby B will come in His perfect timing! Much Love! ❤️
Sweetie I’m so sorry. I will keep praying for baby B. You and Mark are such great parents. Keep the faith it moves mountains. ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dear Lauren and Mark thank you for sharing this special day with us. Magnolia is with the lord on both there birthdays this is very special. Magnolia Lynda is a beautiful name and I'm glad you got to spend time loving her all to yourself, I'm sure the boys love there little sister.
My prayers are with you everyday. Love from Australia 🇦🇺👃❤❤🌹🌹
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.🙏🏻❤️
Dear Lauren and family. Thank you for sharing this difficult time with us. My heart goes out to you all. What a blessing that you were able to spend the entire day with sweet Magnolia. I love the name. I had a stillborn son back in 1982. I don’t remember being able to hold him. It tears me up. So glad things have changed. Praying baby B stays in a bit longer. Hugs to all! ❤😊
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.
What a beautiful name for your beautiful daughter. 🙏🏼🥰💜🎄Continued prayers and well wishes for a safe eventual delivery of her sister! Love and best wishes to your family.🙏🏼
Maggie is absolutely adorable! May her memory be eternal. Love you all of you!

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.
Praying for you and ALLof your family. Grieving is hard work and not everyone will grieve at the same rate or in the same way. Praying for comfort and a healthy baby girl! Sending love hugs and prayers!
I can't even begin to imagine just how much your heart is hurting. So many prayers and so much love to all of you.
Your strength and your family's strength is just incredible.
Good morning Lauren and Mark, my heart breaks for you and yet I am overjoyed that you have been able to spend this time with Maggie with no other distractions. Keep going girl you can do this.
Stay strong and my heart goes out to you and your family. Mark, Lauren and the boys know that your precious baby girl is in Gods arms. Life has some trials we don't understand and we hurt and somehow we get through them. Sweet precious Magnolia know you were loved and wanted.
Thank you for sharing such a special and precious time with us. I cried throughout the video right along with you. I could feel your pain and my heart breaks for you. I will keep you and Baby B in my prayers for a safe delivery. Lots of love!
What a bittersweet day for you all! I love the names that you chose for her; they're as special as she is! Maggie will always be with you in your hearts and in spirit. Also, it's great that you were able to spend the whole day bonding with her and grieving her passing! R.I.P. your little Angel in Heaven.
