4 weeks. . .

Four weeks ago we were pregnant, happy as ever to start our family.

Four weeks ago we were talking about how to paint the nursery and looking at nursery furniture. Now it is an empty room that we keep the door closed to.

Four weeks ago we were so excited it was almost time for our 12 week appointment with Dr. G.

Four weeks ago we were reading "what to except when you are expecting", now we read books about dealing with loss "I'll hold you in heaven".

Four weeks ago I was talking to other Mom's to be, now I talk to mom's who have also lost there baby's.

Four weeks ago we said goodbye to our sweet pea.

Our trash is all over Grand Haven

Random story....So Josh and I have been spring cleaning a lot lately. Out with the old, in with the new. Our trash pick up is on Tuesday mornings so yesterday afternoon Josh and I moved everything to the end of the driveway, which was a lot of stuff a pile that was 10ft by 5ft. With in about 15 minutes people were stopping on the side of the road and going trough our trash and taking things. Then two men in a big yellow truck stopped and picked up all the metal that was our there, broken lamp, toaster oven, file cabinet, coffee table legs. The people just kept coming, two hours later the pile was down by half. This morning when I woke up at 6:00am there was almost nothing left. I guess that made it easier on the trash man!

Change

Some people having been asking what the letter of the day was. So I thought I would tell everyone what is was going to say.

QUESTION: "WHAT IS HEARD BUT NOT SEEN?"

ANSWER: "OUR BABY'S HEART BEAT!!!"

This is how we were going to tell everyone that we were expecting. The picture frame says Our Miracle waiting to be seen. I had bought this after I went to my first doctors appointment.



How quick things change. . .

Lots of love!

I just wanted to share a few pictures of the flowers and plants that we received from our friends, family and work places. They put a smile on our faces, so maybe they will make you smile.

I did it!

Well I made it through my first day back to work.
I knew this day was going to be hard and I just prayed that God would give me strength and he did. I know that many people are praying for Josh and I which is such a comfort in these hard times.

Many tears were flowing from my eyes today as people would come up and ask how I was feeling thinking I was still pregnant. Then I would have to tell them that I was no longer pregnant my heart would just break all over again.
I miss you my little Sweet Pea!!!
Thank You so much for your prayers!
