REAL Housewives of Orange County’s Kara Keough Bosworth paid tribute to her son McCoy on Monday after he tragically passed away during childbirth on April 6.
The heartbroken mom shared a portrait with her baby boy, as she painted a poignant picture of how life should have been.

She posted a black and white portrait of her cradling her little boy with husband Kyle Bosworth enveloping the two of them in his arms.
Kara captioned: “You would have been 3 weeks old today. You would be ‘waking up’ and showing us more of you. I would be getting the hang of being a mom of two. My milk would be regulating to your schedule.
“Your sister would be asking questions about your belly button and you would have peed on her at least once by now. Daddy would be sending texts to his football buddies about how our giant baby boy could probably already out-lift them.
“We would be laughing that you never fit into newborn diapers, not even for one day. I’d be exhausted, leaking, and happy.”

“Instead… we’re missing you,” she continued.
“To all my fellow “instead” mamas…. thank you for reminding me that we’re not alone, and that we can survive this. He didn’t, but we have to. And we will,” she concluded the heartbreaking message.
Kara – whose mother is former RHOC star Jeana Keough – shared the tragic news earlier this month that she had lost her son during a difficult labor.
“On April 6th, our son McCoy Casey Bosworth was born at 3:10am. Weighing in at 11 pounds and 4 ounces and spanning 21 inches, McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection).”

She explained: “During the course of his birth, he experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord.”
Kara continued her post, “He joined our Heavenly Father and will live forever in the hearts of his loving parents, his adoring sister, and those that received his life-saving gifts.
“I wrote this for the organ/tissue procurement team to read out in his honor: ‘Tonight, we join together to honor this little savior’s gifts of life. Through him, may others find new hope and profound healing… and may he live again through them.
“May his legacy shine in the form of lifetimes aplenty – lives filled with laughter, compassion, energy, love, and most of all gratitude. May it be said that McCoy Casey Bosworth left this world in a better place, for a better place…. that he made an impact… that he was an answered prayer… that he was a hero.”

Kara added a bible passage from John 16:20 and ended her message with “Until we see you again… We love you, McCoy.”
The next day, Kara’s brother Shane revealed the decor of McCoy’s nursery which was ready for his arrival.
Kara and Kyle are parents to daughter Decker Kate, four.
They revealed their joy at adding to their family in October last year.

She wrote on her The Pushover Project blog that she got pregnant during a family vacation to Europe.
“THE VERDICT IS IN: My new gut is not a rosé FUPA from France; it’s not a Swiss cheese fart from Switzerland, or a pasta clot from Italy,” she wrote.
“As it turns out, our little Eurotrip left our hearts, our bellies, AND my uterus quite full.
“I intentionally waited for the right time to bring you into our family for a reason, I just had no idea my reason would be this freaking excited. It’s really damn cool,” she wrote.
She concluded: “We love you like crazy already, baby. April 2nd, 2020 can’t come soon enough.”
