Closure is something we finally have with this pregnancy. I received the call around lunch time that I had indeed miscarried. Yesterday hubby stayed home and let me rest. I am grateful for that because I had a lot of time to pray and mourn our loss. Now we have two little ones in heaven resting in the arms of Jesus. Thank you for your comments, voicemails, texts, emails, and words of encouragement. They mean so much to us! In the midst of pain God is still good.

I am a sinner saved by grace! I love being a wife and absolutely adore my husband. My newest role as mother has been incredible! Before God blessed us with our little man we struggled with infertility and suffered a loss. To read about our loss click here. I am a professional photographer living out my dream one frame at a time.
Hubby
My husband is adventurous, loving, patient, funny, encouraging, forgiving, talented and my best friend. We met through a mutual friend at church. The fact that he could sing and play guitar was what caught my eye. But his personality and love for the Lord is what won my heart. Well that and his smile!
Little Man
Little man is our little blessing. He made is big debut on June 1, 2009. He is such a happy boy, who is very curious about the world around him. Which is a nice way of saying, he is into everything! We found out we were pregnant with him two days before we had our first infertility specialist appointment. God is good!
Cohen
Our second blessing, Cohen was born December 2, 2010. He and his brother are almost exactly 1 year 1/2 apart. We love watching his personality shine through and are blessed to have him in our family!
Mason
Mason is our third boy and the best surprise we've ever received! His big brothers love him to pieces. So far he is a laid back baby who is already sleeping through the night.

Friend -- I am so soory for your new loss. I'm available to talk if you ever need to...
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you. I am truly sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you & your family. The loss of a baby, at any stage, is a terrible life event to endure. I've been through it, watched my sister experience it twice and have had multiple friends experience loss at numerous stages. It flat out sucks & is unfair. But, God, has a plan for you... follow his path, he will lead you. Cyber bugs to you...
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. So sorry for your loss. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I know you have a strong faith that will help you heal. Praying for you and your husband during this difficult time...
ReplyDeleteMonica, I'm sorry that you have to go through another miscarriage. I am so glad to hear you can still see that God is good amidst the struggle and pain. My prayers are with you. May your heart heal.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, Monica. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. We don't know the Lord's will, but we do know that He promises to sustain us and He doesn't lie. I'll pray His perfect peace will envelop you and Hubby. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteMy heart is so heavy for you and your husband right now. I wish I could do more than just give an internet hug.
ReplyDeleteMonica,
ReplyDeleteThere's anything I can say to make it better. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss... I will continue praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss,my heart goes out to you. Praying for you tonight.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for both of you for your loss with this pregnancy. It is closure but god must have something pretty special planned for your family to give you these challenges first. I will keep you in my thoughts. Kepp eachother and that little man of yours tight.
ReplyDeletei am so sorry for your loss...all 3 of you. i can't imagine ever going through something like this, which is probably why god has never chosen me for something like this. god knows what you can and can not handle. and he knew that you could handle this and take it and turn it into something good, like help support other's out there with this kind of loss. you're a strong woman and your faith is even stronger - continue to hold onto that...and your precious baby boy.
ReplyDeleteprayers and love

I'm sorry for your loss. Sending prayers your way. God is good and I pray he brings you comfort and peace.
ReplyDeleteMay God's peace and love continue to envelop you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry- I had two miscarriages between my 1st and 2nd children, I know that heartache, and it's heartbreaking to know another woman is going through that. It is times like these when I truly don't know how non-christians do it...
ReplyDeletePraying you find rest, and strength, and comfort in Him,

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for all of you. I can't imagine what you are feeling. Remember that there are a lot of us out here praying for you and lifting you up. You are surrounded by friends [both on and offline]. Keep your head up, God's taking care of you and your sweet little ones.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Monica, for your loss. I'll be praying for you. Kathi

I'm just now back to checking blogs since the holiday, and I was just so sad to read you were going through this deep sorrow again. You know there are no words...but I did want you to know that I think you guys are incredible, Godly people and no one deserves another child more than you two. Praying God blesses you again(sooner rather than later ), Charis
ReplyDeleteI began bleeding Christmas Eve, at 10 1/2 weeks along... I have miscarried before, but it had been almost 12 years since my last miscarriage. Reliving it again is not how I wanted to spend my weekend, holidays or no holidays.
ReplyDeleteAs hard as it was, you are so right, God is still good, He has been so good to us.
Still praying for you, with even more empathy now... (((hugs)))
Take care, and have a wonderful New Year!
