On December 31, 2008, at 10:22 am, sweet Bridger Scott Moss came into our lives. He was 13.9 ounces (almost a pound) and 10.5 inches long. The doctor’s even said he was rather large and buff for his young age...being the ripe age of 20 weeks. He threw us a curve ball with being a boy, but most everything about him has been unpredictable!
For those who had not heard, he was diagnosed with a congenital birth defect called "Multi-Cystic Kidney Disorder"...basically that means your kidneys do not work and are full of cysts. To make the situation more difficult for him, he only developed one kidney. Most who are diagnosed with this disease have another healthy kidney. Plus, Bridger did not have a bladder either...poor guy was a bit uncomfortable. We were told that odds were he would not make it full term and the best idea for Sharee's health was to induce labor.
The delivery was sad but it went well. We are very blessed to have such a special spirit grace our presence, even if it was only for a few seconds and we look forward to playing with him again someday.
There was a burial service at at Seltice Cemetery with a luncheon for family and friends on Saturday, January 3, 2009. We wanted to thank you for all your prayers of support and love, we have felt each of them personally and they helped us gain strength and courage during this difficult time in our lives. May our Savior, Jesus Christ, bless your lives as each of you have blessed ours!
People have also been asking for photos so... here you go! He is adorable, and absolutely perfect! But we may be a bit bias =).

He is really, really cute, but with such adorable parents how could he not be? I am sorry that you went through this difficult trial, but like you mentioned, you will play with him again one day. Todd and I are preparing to go to the temple ourselves and we are very excited. I think we both feel true happiness and the reality of eternal families...it is amazing! I love you guys...Rach
