In sadness we find peace

We received confirmation of pregnancy on Feb 24, 2010. We were very quiet with the joyful news and decided it was best to tell only Mimi & Papa the big news while we were on our mini-trip to Disney World on February 28. They were both very happy and shared in our joyous news. When Anna and I arrived back home, we had planned a dinner with Nana, Pop-eye, & Taylo to share the good news with them. It was that day, March 3, that would crush our hopes for this baby. When I woke up in the morning I had started having 'complications', I immediately called the doctor who asked to me come in right away. When we arrived at his office we did not wait to be seen, he had a room prepared for us already, I knew the news would not be good. After his exam and sonogram we received the devastating news that I had a spontaneous miscarriage and we had lost this baby. Marshall and I were crushed to say the least. The doctor advised that we could try again immediately following one regular cycle, however, this was not a situation we wanted to replay by getting pregnant again too soon. We have prayed and prayed that God would bless us once again with a happy healthy baby girl/boy. My hearts desire is to be a good mother and raise my children to make a difference in the world by standing for him in the face of adversity. I did spent a lot of time thinking about our future and praying that God would guide us on the right paths. We shared our heart break with only our immediate families as we tried to keep our heads up. God granted us peace through our hard times and has given us the opportunity to share our story with you. I feel that through hard times we gain strength that we will some day pass on to others.
