“I am so grateful that I have Poppy now and for any future babies that we might have all we want is a healthy, happy baby,” she said in April.

“So many women go through it and we feel like it’s our fault and we feel like it’s our bodies failing on some level but in reality, it’s not. That little being just wasn’t meant to be for some reason.”

According to Libby’s post, Poppy seems to think she’s set for a baby brother, but really, any baby is a blessing.

Congratulations, Libby, Luke and Poppy!
