Sorry! <br /><br />I also sincerely thank you for sharing your mc experience. I just had a d&c as well with my first pregnancy and am now frightened that this is what the future will always hold for us. Your story reminds me that I don't know it all, and the child that God will hopefully bring into our lives will be perfect for us.Steel Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16705333990914255885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-80481638440454268952012-10-01T07:29:19.444-05:002012-10-01T07:29:19.444-05:00Long time lurker here!

The picture you have of the mountainside full of aspens is literally taken from my parent's driveway. They have a duplex in Blue River next to a couple from St. Louis. And the great picture of you and Nate looks just like the view out of their little back porch + hot tub. If you stayed at their duplex neighbor's place, that is just such a small world thing.<br /><br />We just went out in July for a few days of fresh air and ski every winter there. It is such a beautiful area.<br /><br />Now - to read the rest of your post!

I agree completely. I had a miscarriage myself before my second child and I often wonder what he/she would have been like. But, then I have to remember if I had met him/her, then I wouldn't have Jake... and then it's hard to figure out which one is worse. Miscarriages are hard, for me, the hardest part is that it taints your thoughts about pregnancy, babies, and what your body can do. I worry a lot about having another miscarriage when we try again. I was *lucky* in that I emotionally was able to handle the first one, but what if there's another? I'm not sure I would be able to take it. Ok, sorry for the rambling.. just wanted to say that I agreed with your post every single word of the way.

I am 6 weeks out from a D&C with my first baby. I try so hard to be patient and believe in God's plan for us, but it is the hardest. thing. ever. I hate that we have to wait to try again but I know that when we finally have our first little miracle in our arms that it will all be worth it. Your post makes it a little easier to fall asleep tonight, knowing that other women have gone through it, are going through it, and made it to the other side with a perfect little person to show for it.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774105554084120662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-86197279148012744202012-09-09T17:05:23.308-05:002012-09-09T17:05:23.308-05:00Beautiful, J!

She is totally worth it!<br /><br />Although I never suffered a m/c, I often find myself looking at Eli and thinking if we got pregnant right away...if we didn't have to wait almost a year to see that positive pregnancy test, my guy might not be here. I might have a different child and while that would have been perfect and fine, it breaks my heart in to a million pieces knowing I might not had the chance to meet his little personality.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204415329892149964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-86727235403070005992012-09-09T15:57:25.012-05:002012-09-09T15:57:25.012-05:00Your post brought me to tears.

He is now a vivacious wiggly 11 month old and was exactly the baby God made for us at the perfect time. Sometimes his greater plan is far more perfect that we could ever imagine. It is just so hard to worship while you are waiting.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794980141176949988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-47133241656579145132012-09-09T14:47:04.687-05:002012-09-09T14:47:04.687-05:00Beautifully written, thank you...Beautifully written, thank you...theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03175106679564782592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-90539746324378876342012-09-09T14:35:05.110-05:002012-09-09T14:35:05.110-05:00I love this post, Julia.
