It was that first mother~cry "no!" and the blood was there, and fear that the baby was not.
The weekend was long, but this morning the ultrasound confirmed what my heart already felt...Little One has been with Jesus for three weeks (unknown to us) and any day I should go through the process of labor and delivery long before we had planned.
We are sad to walk this road and end with empty arms, but I am choosing two thoughts:
* We love and accept children as a gift from God Himself, no matter how counter-cultural that may seem...
* This life is a blessing to our family, for as many weeks as the Lord saw fit to allow
"I will carry you, while your heart beats here.
Long beyond the empty cradle, through the coming years...
I will carry you, all my life.
I will praise the One who's chosen me to carry you. "

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
I've never heard anyone put this in such a sweet way. I'm sorry for your loss. Blessings to you over and over.
{{{hugs}}}
I'm sorry. I know you miss your precious little one already.
I've miscarried before too, and wish the heartache didn't hurt quite so badly.
I am so very sorry!!! And praying for you and your family.
Mrs. Regan,
I just heard the news on Josh's blog. I am so sorry for your loss. God has his plans and purposes for everything, but this must be extremely difficult for you and your family to go through. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Don't forget that God is holding you up during this time.
Psalm 3:3, "But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head."
Prayers going up for you & your family.
I, too, heard the news on Josh's blog... you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Blessings,
Michaila

Mrs. Regan,
I am so sorry about your loss. I pray that the Lord will comfort and sustain you and your family. Blessings in Christ...Susan
Rejoicing in life... Grieving in loss... Thankfully the Lord knows and allows the reality of both rejoicing and grief and He meets us in both places...
Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications. The Lord is my strength & my shield; my heart trusted in Him, & I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; & with my song I will praise Him. The Lord is their strength, & He is the saving strength of His anointed.
Psalm 28:6~8
I am lifting you in prayer...

Dear friend, my heart goes out to you! The loss seems so great, I'm sure. If it weren't for the hope and promises of Jesus, life would sometimes be too much to bear. I'm so glad you can rejoice in knowing this little one is waiting safely with Jesus to meet you in heaven! Perhaps that thought will see you through this time of sorrow. Praying right now for you!!
Kathy,
So, so sorry to hear about your little one. We love you all and are praying for you! Sandy

I just came across your comment on Large Family Mothering's site. I just had to come and comment on your blog. I just found out yesterday that my little one which we were hoping would be #12 here on earth, is gone. Instead she(we are thinking it was a girl)has joined her 9 siblings in Heaven. I, too, am awaiting her birth. Much peace to you during this time.
God Bless.
So sorry, Mrs. Regan. Praying. Rev. 21:4.
Mrs. Regan,
I am SO sorry about your baby. The Lord will surely bless your for your fatih. I will be praying.
Blessings,
~Rebecca
Oh Kathy,
We are so sorry that you won't be able to hold this little one in your arms now--but we are believing with you and your family--that you will be able to hold Little One in heaven. We are praying for you so much...your response is such a wonderful testimony of your amazing faith in our Father....you continue to be such an amazing model of complete dependence upon Jesus. We love each one of you!

Dear Mrs. Regan,
My heart grieves for you and your dear family! I pray for you often as I'm going about my days.

May He hold you tightly sweet lady!

Soli Deo Gloria!
