BABY HAVEN Baby Haven update, mama has been induced at 33 weeks BABY HAVEN Sarah has been feeling some limited movement the last couple days with our baby daughter Haven, who was diagnosed with trisomy 18. BABY HAVEN We knew this day was coming, but didn't expect it so soon. BABY HAVEN Sarah and I checked into triage and after monitoring Haven's heart rate, the doctors noticed Haven under stress and insisted we start induction immediately. BABY HAVEN Shortly after, Haven unfortunately had a decreased heartbeat, then stopped altogether in utero on Tuesday night. Haven Haven has been welcomed into open arms by Jesus and Sarah is currently being induced and we hope to meet baby Haven soon. WITH LOVE & THANKS We pray Sarah has a safe delivery and we face no further complications. Thank you for all the support as we continue to still soak in every moment

We didn’t expect this to happen so fast. I was in the middle of building a floating shelf and Sarah was just getting home from work. But she mentioned she’s been noticing limited movement from baby Haven, and so she called her OB and we were advised to go to triage. So we packed our hospital bags just in case, even though I kept saying it was probably nothing and we have nothing to worry about. We checked into triage and got Haven on a monitor. Her heart rate wasn’t right and we were advised to get induced if we wanted to have any chance of seeing her. Unfortunately, her heart shortly slowed down, and then had no beat at all. Sarah is being induced into labor, and it’s taking a little longer since her body wasn’t ready this early but there is progress. We hope there are no complications during the labor process. We fully trust and are thankful for the solid team around us and the prayers. We wanted to keep you guys updated, especially because there are families in the exact same shoes as us right now and we were blindsided by the limited movement this early and thought we would have at least another month. We probably won’t be able to respond quickly but we see your messages! If you have any advice on postpartum, especially from a dad’s perspective and how to navigate mama going through it, please share. We love you all and this has been a massive reminder that life is precious and shouldn’t be wasted❤️ -Alex and Sarah Kennedy #trisomy18 #pregnancy #babydelivery
