It sounds strange considering what I have just read, but my experience was very similar to yours. I have two girls that are a huge blessing to me. I had a difficult time getting pregnant after my first child. We were so excited when we finally found out that we were expecting again. We decided we would wait until our ninth week to announce the pregnancy to our friends and church family. The Wednesday after our announcement, we lost the baby. The doctor that saw us (also a new one to me) was about 9 months pregnant and tried to tell me that I was not as far along as 3 months. I was just in their office on Friday for a check-up and everything was fine, so I knew she didn't even look at my chart. I could not believe that anyone carrying a child could be so cold about the loss I just suffered. God did bless me with another daughter in his own time. The day I found out I was expecting, a good friend told me this from her own experience, "If God would have chose to give me the child I lost, I would not have my daughter." It seemed strange at the time, but I understand now. God has blessed me with a beautiful, all be her rambunctious, little girl. My heart still remembers and loves the child I lost, but I know that baby is safe with Jesus. He had another child in mind for me. One that I admit was starting to wear me down and out today. So you see, I needed the reminder that she is a precious gift that God chose especially for my care. So thank you for your honesty. May you be truly blessed with this new bundle of joy.Made to Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205316673589689768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078806.post-72921036553554836332010-06-09T20:42:11.073-04:002010-06-09T20:42:11.073-04:00Catie, Glad to see you again on the blog and I wh...Catie, Glad to see you again on the blog and I what a powerful posts.

What ...I am so sorry for the loss you experienced. What a horrible thing for that u/s tech to say! I completely understand your desire for a natural childbirth - I would prefer a vbac myself, but after 2 c-sections, there are no doctors around who will give the okay. It is definitely a difficult dream to give up. I am just a week behind you - 24 weeks this week! So happy for you and your family on the impending new arrival!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947372143950508859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078806.post-47585099498481441422010-06-07T15:28:27.595-04:002010-06-07T15:28:27.595-04:00Catie, this is such a beautiful post, straight fro...Catie, this is such a beautiful post, straight from your heart. I didn't realize yesterday was your due date. Praise God that you will get to hold your baby in September! And that God will reunite you with your lost child in Heaven.Samnoreply@blogger.com
