Violet was born seven weeks premature, on March 6. She weighed 3 lbs, 15 oz. and measured 15 inches at the time of her birth, according to reports.

Shortly after the birth of Violet, Carazo took to social media to share an image of an ultrasound of his daughter.

While the couple mourn their daughter and try to deal with their grief, they have a message for everyone:

“The family welcomes your thoughts and prayers, but requests privacy during this difficult time,” a rep for the reality star told PEOPLE.

McGinity has two other kids, Autumn and Trenton Artran, from a previous marriage. As mentioned, the reality star announced that she was pregnant with Violet in September 2019.

“I’m so excited that we are having a baby. What a big blessing. Good things come to those who wait,” the reality star wrote on Instagram, alongside a sweet shot of Carazo giving her baby bump a kiss.

“Our bundle of joy is coming April 2020,” she added.
