Our baby's resting with Jesus

This afternoon I lost our baby. God blessed me so much. I started cramping and bleeding at work. I made the hour long drive home, knowing what my afternoon was going to hold. By the time I got home the pain was unbearable, but in less than 30 minutes, before Brian could even get home, it was all over. God answered my prayer that if it needed to happen, it would be fast and our little one would join his true Father quickly.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Yesterday afternoon I found out my levels had increased, but my progesterone was very low. By last night my spotting had increased, and I really started coming to terms that this pregnancy was not long for this world. Brian and I are doing okay. We're clinging to each other. He is such a sweet Daddy.
I know now that this little miracle showed me I could get pregnant, since we did it without any medication. And hopefully someday soon, we will be able to provide our sweet one with a little brother or sister.
Thank you Jesus, for giving me the most amazing two weeks, to be a Mommy, to have the gift of life in me, to experience a slice of the love that You have for me.

We love you very much, our sweet, sweet daughter. Your faith and love are a great blessing, even when you're experiencing such a huge loss. We wish this pregnancy would have turned out much differently. But we trust the One who loves us more than we could ever realize, and we trust that He will somehow show His love to you and Brian, and to our little grandbaby that in such a short time we came to love more than words could ever say.

Brain & Amy,
We are all sorry to hear about this "curve ball" that has been thrown to you. Words cannot express how we feel, but I know the Spirit is sending you hugs with every thought and prayer.

Amy,

I just ran across this blog on your facebook profile and I have been trying to catch up on your posts. I was so excited to read your pregnancy announcement and then devasted after reading your most recent news. Please know that I love you and am praying for you to get through this challenging time together. I thought it was really sweet what Brian told you about the stars and I have another favorite quote that I will leave you with. I hope it brings some healing for you..."Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy and still watching over us." I hope you can thank God for the short time He blessed you with your sweet baby when you see the stars at night. Please call if you ever need to talk. :)
Love and miss you!
Penny

Precious Amy,

I love you and am praying for you. Your faith is amazing, and I know God is carrying you through this difficult time. I also know that He is holding your precious baby in His arms right now.

I pray that God continues to cover you with peace and comfort as He reminds you how much He loves you and is in control.
