I just had a miscarriage at 16 weeks. It was my second miscarriage in a row. We have one beautiful little boy, but it has still been so hard for me to trust in God's will and in His plan for our family. It is always so wonderful to read and hear stories of women who have gone through similar situations.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635011149223808151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-19477845696451806352012-03-10T11:16:13.124-07:002012-03-10T11:16:13.124-07:00Such a beautifully written post.

( to quote Matt Redman's song "Blessed Be Your Name-- I song my husband and I "claimed" over the last few years. ) <br /><br />I am new to your blog and enjoy it so much.<br /><br />I am so thankful that you know God's presence in your life. I too lost a baby through miscarriage and am so grateful for the hope of Christ and the love of my Heavenly Father. We too already had one sweet boy, Graeme, and were looking forward to meeting his new sibling. Apart from the hope I have in Christ and His plan for my life, I would have been lost in the depths of depression. In November of this past year, we very joyously welcomed our second sweet baby boy, Job. I'm crying as I write this because his little life is such a reminder of God's GOODNESS to us, thus his name--Job-- so many think of the difficulties that the biblical Job went through, but most fail to see the sustaining love and continuing goodness of God to Job. <br /><br />wow, I wrote a book. sorry : )<br />Just so happy for your new sweet one, thankful that you know the hand of God, and glad to have found you in the wide, wide world of the internet! : )<br /><br />love,<br />sarah kateSarah Kate Braninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358207125076989479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-10749103637345556242012-02-25T09:55:54.824-07:002012-02-25T09:55:54.824-07:00What a beautifully written post.

It took me a year to get pregnant with my first boy, and I feel like every second has been so sweet because it took a lot to get him here. We've had many other setbacks along the way and are still really hoping to bring him a sibling one day. But I honestly hope that no one ever feels guilt that they are pregnant because other's aren't in their same situation. Life is a different journey for everyone. We all have different paths to walk. I'm excited to see what you share of this beautiful time in your life.

I lost my first pregnancy last year and was so devastated. As I was going through that rough time, I remembered that blog post you wrote about the miscarriage you went through. Even though I know it was tough for you to share, thank you for those words.<br /><br />I now am pregnant again (only 1 week ahead of you!) and everything is looking good. I, too, felt like you. I felt that desire. I felt that longing. I am so grateful that I can now be pregnant again when there are so many who struggle with fertility. I know that is truly is a miracle and blessing from God. I understand all sides of your hesitation in writing this post, but you deserve your happiness. Best wishes for this pregnancy! :)Sarah Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178615892635359729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-62713042960002600902012-02-23T20:16:15.522-07:002012-02-23T20:16:15.522-07:00glad i'm not the only one who has thrown a pit...glad i'm not the only one who has thrown a pity party or two. thank you for not tip toeing around a difficult subject and for always being so kind. i couldn't be happier for you!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365424021328515376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-25556216002961617202012-02-23T19:48:43.557-07:002012-02-23T19:48:43.557-07:00congratulations Marta.

I think that trials such as infertility, miscarriages and infant loss truly teach us patience and humility which only then allow us to rely on the Lord's timing rather than our own. I am so incredibly happy for you and Dan, and especially little Benji! He is going to be such a loving and helpful big brother. <br /><br />Thanks for the heartfelt post Marta.

My husband and I tried for almost 11 years to have a baby, it was difficult to watch each month pass with no success. I finally gave up hoping, but low-and-behold, one month I was actually expecting a baby. Then 4 years later we were blessed with another baby. I had thought we'd have three or four children but the Lord gave us two, and I always say they were worth the wait (they are 23 and 19 now). Congratulations and I hope everything goes very well for you!

My husband and I have been trying for our first baby for 3.5 years and had a miscarriage in December. To be honest, any pregnancy is hard to read about. But that doesn't keep me from coming back. Through my own struggles, I have prayed for a baby for you since you posted about your heartbreaking miscarriage. Every single post you write, I scan through quickly hoping to see a pregnancy announcement. <br /><br />Let's make a deal. If you promise to continue to be your thoughtful, compassionate self while celebrating this time in your life, I will promise to find hope for myself and continue to be overjoyed for you.{ella}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09714588622286097688noreply@blogger.com
