We lost our precious unborn baby on June 1st, 2010.
I was 9 weeks pregnant.
We had been preparing for this as we knew it was a possibility. We do not regret telling people before the "12 week mark." This is part of life, as we explained to our dear daughter, Caitlyn. She knows she's a big sister that has a little brother or sister waiting on her in heaven. We are surrounded by a community of loving, supportive friends and family. We thank you all for your prayers and concern. I thank God for his blessings and I know our baby is an angel up in Heaven. There is no better place to be. Our baby did not have to suffer in this world. We already miss our dear baby and we are sad we will never hold him or her. But we know God was ready for our sweet precious baby.
Here is a poem I found, I could not find the author.
"You see, the child lives. Instead of the wind she hears the sound of angels singing before My throne. Instead of the beauty that passes she sees everlasting Beauty, she sees My face. She was created and lived a short time so the image of her parents imprinted on her face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor. She knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth. She laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess. My ways are not the ways of man. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another. She was created for My joy and her parents’ merits. She has never seen pain or sin. She has never felt hunger or pain. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth."
I know it will take time to heal physically,spiritually, emotionally. I am praying for healing for my body that has had so many problems over this past year.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
