19 weeks 3 days gestation

Our Sweet Caleb Dean Gramkow was born at 1:05 pm today right into Jesus's arms. We named him Caleb because we stepped out in faith to give him the best chance at life. And like Caleb's story in the Old Testament, we know our Caleb is now scoping out the glorious Promised Land. What a place it will be. We are heartbroken and "wandering in the wilderness" that is this broken world before we join him there. Our time here will still be spent giving God the reverence only He is worthy of. We are trying. How many miracles must we witness and still have unbelief? We have witnessed so many, God blessed us with 19 weeks carrying him while his heart beat here... Sweet Caleb our hearts will not be whole again until we meet up in the Promised Land. Please pray for us as we look for our next step into these empty days ahead.
I will try my best to update more when I can...
Ben and Mandy, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We mourn with you and pray for the Lord to give you his perfect peace that surpasses understanding. I pray that you and Ben feel the Lord's comforting arms in the days ahead. -Jill
