A Time To Mourn

  It is with great pain in our hearts that we write this post.  We hoped we would be writing to announce that we were pregnant after hearing the heartbeat on Wednesday but during the ultrasound they found no heartbeat and we were (with care) told that the baby had stopped growing around week 6 or 7 (this was a 9 wk appointment).

We are deeply sad yet definitely feeling God’s peace. My body has not recognized the miscarriage yet so we are praying that the process will happen this weekend.  If not, we have a scheduled appointment for Wednesday at 10am for a procedure.  We would like for it to happen on its own but we want to trust God’s sovereignty with what will be best for my body and our emotions.  Your prayers are truly appreciated during this time.

So what now?
Grieving.
Trusting God.
 Healing.

I plan to write everyday of this month whether it is 3 paragraphs or 2 sentences - the goal is to write something.  Here are some of the reasons:
1. I hope it will be an outlet for me and help in the healing process to write
2. It will let friends and family know how we're doing and what we are doing
3.  Give friends and family a place to write back or ask us questions

So thats the plan.  I will - especially the next few days - talk about how we are doing in regards to our loss but not every post will be about that.  I honestly couldn't take to write about it everyday.  Please pray for us as God brings us to mind.
