A few thoughts on Our Angel

Gosh, it's been such a long time since I have updated my blog and so much has happened since the last post. It is impossible to catch up in one post. Here are just a few of the major things that have been going on these last few months. Our little family has moved into a new house in Queen Creek and we love it! It is smaller than our last house, but it is perfect for us :-). I will take pics soon and post them for all of you family and friends to see.

We have experienced some major losses in the last couple of months. First, I want to thank all of you who have been praying for me and my family. I have felt those prayers and the Holy Spirit has wrapped me in His arms and comforted me! I will post later with pictures about our Aunt Bev, who I love like a mother. It's still a little too fresh to post about that one. But thanks again for all of your prayers.

For now, I will concentrate my thoughts on the loss of another baby. This one was harder on me in some ways and easier on me in others. This miscarriage was much earlier in my pregnancy than the last one, which I am so so thankful for. If I would have kept that baby, I would be 21 weeks/ 6 days today. It makes me sad to think of how different our lives would be if I were still carrying that baby. I know it sounds weird, but Tom and I really wanted this baby. We have wanted all of our babies, but especially this one. It took us a while to get up the courage to try again, since the one before that ended in a miscarriage. Heavenly Father has helped us get through this. I was blessed to be able to pass this one on my own. I did end up going to the ER because I had fever/ vomiting and a few tiny complications. But in the end, I passed it on my own. I felt so comforted when I thought of my mom being there as this little baby was accepted back into heaven. My mom loved her grand babies. Anyone who knew her, knew this about her. She was the best grandmother a child could ask for. I know that our angel babies are in heaven with my mom and they are happy. They are waiting for us. I feel so blessed to know that there is life after death. We will see our babies again. The doctor has given us the OK to try again, if that is what we choose to do. I am completely healed physically. Once again, I am thankful to all of my family and friends who have been praying for our little family. We wouldn't be where we are today without the support from our loved ones.
