Sad Update
Dear
Family & Friends,
Yesterday was my 24 week ob appt. It started off great with the
midwife
going over the results of our ultrasound from a few weeks ago.
Everything measured on target at that point and Peanut was a wonderful
healthy little boy. However, when we proceeded to my exam, we were
unable to hear the heartbeat so
they did a quick ultrasound in the office and didn't like what they
saw. I went to the hospital and they confirmed that our little boy is
no longer alive. I will go in tomorrow morning (Friday) for delivery.
We are doing okay, still in shock and very disappointed, but we know
that God's timing is always perfect. Your prayers are
much appreciated and I will keep you updated as I can after tomorrow.
Much love,
Michele & Andrew (and the kids)

No one can know the pain of losing a child until you have done it. We had a very, very difficult time getting pregnant and then when we did; I miscarried at 9 weeks. I know 24 weeks is much longer, but that 9 week old little baby was so loved.
I remember going into the hospital the next day...the sadness...anyway, God is good and when I went back for a followup check up, they did an ultrasound and found an enlarged ovary which I had to have removed.
I thought God had deserted me; I couldn't get pregnant, could not carry a baby, and now I was having an ovary removed. I remember sitting out on the porch praying, starring up at the stars looking for a sign that everything would be o.k.
Needless to say, I did not receive any "sign", but I did receive a peace about it. I had my surgery and 6 weeks later I was pregnant with our first daughter. Twenty-one months later, I had our second daughter. He blessed us with two beautiful healthy girls that are a delight to me and the major reason I homeschool. If I had not had such a hard time getting them here, I would have sent them off to school, but I feel like God did answer my prayer and entrusted them to ME to raise, not some one else.
I will pray for you and your family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do, there is not much I can offer long distance, but I can sure be a shoulder to cry on.
