Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day

I am a mother of five. after years of trying to conceive, we did. hallelujah and finally! but at 9 weeks an ultrasound in an emergency room showed a 6 week old babe with no heartbeat.

I am a mother of five. the Lord then blessed us with an extraordinary pregnancy. extremely rare, extremely special. but before our 6 week ultrasound, my sons' identical brother was already gone.

I think often of what my life would be without pregnancy loss. there would be another identical face looking up at me alongside his triplet brothers. there would be a big sister or a big brother playing alongside these brothers.

I love them. I miss them though I never met them. and, in the midst of the grief and the questions, I thank God for His faithfulness, His provision, and His promises to make everything beautiful in its time. /Ecclesiastes 3:11a
