No, I’m not talking about the pregnancy… I’m not quite 11 weeks. But, praise the Lord I’ve made it this far… isn’t every baby just a miracle?! When I hear that 1 in 3 pregnancies end in miscarriage, I’m sure that it must be my turn… But so far I’ve never lost a baby, to my knowledge, and I’m so grateful! I don’t take that lightly, since many of my friends have experienced miscarriage.
This is such a LONG overdue update on my life, I feel a little silly even trying to catch up… but some of you cared enough about me to email and make sure everything was ok. Do you have any idea how loved that made me feel? Thank you! Truth is, I had a little scare a couple of weeks ago but an ultrasound showed all was well. Such relief and such joy to see my little baby, only about 1” long, waving its little arm stubs and a heart that beat steadily at 160! Such a blessing!
Which brings me to another thought… I hesitate to call it a blessing… does that mean God is withholding blessings from those who have children who die, babies who never even see their mother’s face? I’ve struggled with this lately. If I say, I’m blessed because my husband loves me and my kids are healthy… what am I saying about the ones who don’t have these “blessings”? Any thoughts?

Glad you're back! And you certainly gave me something to think about with those last lines. If I get any inspiration, I'll comment again.
I believe God has other blessings in mind for them. And though it's not much of a comfort to a grieving family the precious baby is with the Lord. I lost a baby to miscarriage many years ago when I was not very far along and it is a comfort to me to know that someday I will see that child that God had a greater blessing for.
Good post !! I think God has amazingly unique blessings and plans for each of us ! I had a miscarriage in march2011, i was very early but still so hurt by it...But now I realize it has increased my faith and trust in Him !!! I am now pregnant again(13 weeks whooohoooo) and I guess the best way to say it is I APPRECIATE it more than i would have if i hadnt had a loss before !
It makes me realize how faithful GOD is,,,as He says "Test Me in This" !!! Happy, Healthy and BLESSED 9 months to you :)
Not sure if this sounds bad or not, but maybe a miscarriage is a blessing in disguise... Maybe the baby had some sort of disorder or disease that God knew would be too much to handle for the parents? I never have been pregnant but I work in the medical field and always thought that maybe just maybe miscarriage was part of Gods plan of protecting us from something... Why does it happen to those who really want children... I have no idea.
