One month ago today..
We found out that our newest blessing had already gone to be with the Lord.. I was 15 weeks pregnant but our little one did not have a heartbeat and was measuring at only 13-14 weeks.   We chose to wait for my body to miscarry naturally and 5 days later on Feb 11th we had our little boy at home.  We held him and measured him and named him Caden Josiah.  He was so sweet.. we were able to count his fingers and toes and see that he was a boy, we had been almost sure we were having a girl this time LOL  We took pictures and laid him in a beautiful box his daddy found.. HIs oldest sister, Chandra, had crocheted a blanket and bonnet for him during the time after we knew he was gone and we put those on him. 
We laid him to rest at my aunts mission right next to a Maple tree, how fitting!  It is a beautiful area that they are beginning to turn into an ornamental garden.. I am looking forward to the finished yard.  As hard as this time has been, it has also been a blessing for us as a family, in our relationships with each other and with the Lord.  I am thankful for that.

I am so sorry for your loss of your little blessing. I too lost our little girl at 14weeks. I will always have an empty place in my heart for her. I am so glad you are talking about your baby boy - it does help to ease the pain. I will pray for the Lord to comfort you and your family.
