Missing Baby #2 Today

This pregnancy is going by without complication. Minor inconveniences to be sure and discomfort, but this little girl is healthy and moves like crazy! That's why today I was taken aback by my emotions. I was sitting here listening to some Christian music by Natalie Grant, specifically the song "Held." It talks about parents losing a little one and the line, "The promise was that when everything fell, we'd be held." I suddenly found myself weeping about the baby we lost last summer. I'm so excited about this new little girl, yet it doesn't make the pain of the loss of my child who's in heaven go away. Emotions are crazy things, aren't they?

We are at 25 weeks now and counting. Thank God for all the blessings in my life. . .

  1. It is not very surprising that you that are felling this way, loosing a baby is the most bad thing that can ever happen to a mother. By the time your new baby will be born you'll come out of these feelings.

  2. It is normal, I am 18 weeks pregnant after a D&C,(lost my second child as well, with a 5 year old son). This pregnancy has been difficult with emotions. I just keep thanking God everyday for giving me this chance and try and lean on him to be strong each day for myself and my family. I just recently past my second child's due date, and did A LOT of crying that day. Keep your faith and now it will all work out and you will be able to hold your precious little child!

  3. Thank you so much for your blog. I found out I was pregnant last Monday (about 5.5 weeks) and ended up with a confirmed miscarriage by the end of last week. Today I typed in: "post miscarriage doctor appointment" and your blog popped up as the first option. It has been so encouraging for me to read. . . I've read each and every post. I have two children (7 & 5) and we had been trying to get pregnant for two years. We are Christians and I play the keyboard in my church band. I was so angry with God. Your post and the amazing choices of music you added were uplifting and so good for me to hear. Thank you so much for sharing your world. I wish you the very best with your delivery. (I had two c-sections because both my babies were breech and I failed to progress). Think I would probably do a repeat now, too as it was so disappointing not to deliver vaginally after trying for so many hours. Thank you, again and God bless you for crossing my path.
