Kara Keough has paid a heartbreaking tribute to the son she lost in childbirth on 6th April.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star shared a black and white shot of herself cuddling her son McCoy, alongside her husband Kyle Bosworth.

"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" she wrote in a heartbreaking caption to accompany the post.

"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."

She added, "Instead... we're missing you. 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."

Keough previously wrote about donating McCoy's organs so that, "Through him, may others find new hope and profound healing… and may he live again through them."

Thousands of followers sent messages of condolences to the reality star, including fellow RHOC star Gretchen Rossi and professional soccer player Sydney Leroux Dwyer.
