Our first Pregnancy

After years of waiting we finally got a positive sign on a pregnancy test on March 6th 2011. I was so shocked to see the plus sign that I took two more tests, and they all said positive! We were so excited.



Sadly our excitement was was short lived as I miscarried at 5 1/2 weeks. We learned of the miscarriage at our appointment when we went in for the ultrasound and there was no heart beat. It was devastating to know we'd lost our long awaited for child.

Even though many said how lucky for you that you miscarried so early I didn't feel lucky, it was still a loss of hopes, dreams and a child.

While some may say it was too early to know I feel this child would have been a boy, and though there is some speculation in the church as to when life comes into a child I believe I will have a son waiting for me in heaven one day. How I anticipate that day.

It's been over a year since losing this baby, and as I write this I still feel a sense of loss, though the grief and pain has finally begun to subside enough that I can write this.
