Loss...

It's amazing how things can change in an instant. Friday I was happily pregnant and by Saturday night our joy over a new life being created was hanging by a thread. I have always had a strong intuition, especially when it comes to my body and although I wanted to be hopeful I knew in my heart I was no longer pregnant. A visit to the doctor, blood tests, and an ultrasound confirmed what I already knew....our baby was gone.

It's so strange how your life can be going in one direction and within such a short amount of time, the path you were on simply dissapears. We are of course saddend by the end of this pregnancy, but we also have an amazing sense of peace. God knows the desires of our hearts, He knows that we want to have more children and I am certain that He will bless us with another child in His perfect timing.

I have a follow up appointment on Thursday and am hoping after that to move forward and continue on our journey of becoming parents for a second time. As with every hard time in my life, this has only confirmed my faith in God and brought me a little closer to understanding His unfailing love.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we walk through this chapter of our life.

I am sad for both you and Andy and very touched by the sensitivity Bella showed when she saw her Mommy was sad. I think she is more like her father every day.
