sometimes in life we deal with Loss. This is one of those times for our family. It’s not fun. It hurts. It’s sad. But we grow a little closer to God and to each other. We are more kind and learn to deal with hardship.

I started bleeding late Friday evening. Saturday I had bleeding and a constant headache. Sunday morning (10/9/16) I had the full miscarriage. I was 10 weeks and 6 days. Upon miscarrying it appeared that it may have been an empty sac or a Blighted Ovum. That’s what I determined with my untrained eye.

Our kids knew about the pregnancy and were excited. They had just started to tell their cousins and friends. They made announcements in their classes at school last week. They are sad. We’ve told them what is going on and that we lost the baby. The 3 oldest have been very sad. They have expressed concern and cried and tried to be helpful. They are of course asking when I will get another baby in my tummy.

Honest answer, I don’t know that I will. My body and mind are tired.
