On January 3rd, 2013 we found out we are expecting our second baby!
We couldn't be more excited! Our hearts are so full of gratitude and love towards our Heavenly Father for sending us this sweet baby to love. We were so excited to grow our family and have siblings for Reagan to play and grow up with.
Sadly, after nine weeks of pregnancy we would find out that our sweet little baby didn't make it and I would soon have a miscarriage. After emergency ultrasounds, blood draws, more tests, waiting and waiting and waiting...we finally learned that our little baby no longer had a heartbeat.
Heartbroken. Sadness. Disbelief.
We were so excited to be parents again. We wanted to have another baby, so why was this happening? Heartbroken we drove home in tears trying to figure out what we were just told. Nothing made sense. Everything was perfect, my hormone levels were good, I felt good, and I was ready to be a mother again. Sadly, that would not be the case (for now).
We know that trials, happiness, and sadness are all a part of life. I am grateful that I do feel comforted by our Saviour Jesus Christ as we go through this one. I hope that one day I will get to meet this special little baby. I know that there is a bigger plan, one that I am not aware of at this time, but the Lord knows what I need to experience in this life and with His help, I know that Will and I can make it through this.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time in our lives.
We appreciate them so very much.
I have found much comfort in prayer, talking with others who have experienced the same loss, and reading and learning from others.
The LDS talk below helped me out tremendously.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I love you!
