Baby, we love you

Baby,

We love you. We hope you know, though, that more than anything in the world, that Jesus loves you. We pray that if Jesus takes you to live with Him, that you will have no pain in the transition, that you will suddenly be surrounded by glory and filled with peace and joy that passes all understanding.

And baby, if we get to keep you...well, we'll be so happy! We still want you to know more than anything that Jesus loves you. That's most important.

Love you, baby bug,
Shannon

Lord, your will, not mine

Dear Lord,

I just pray that your will would be done...not mine. Please give me peace to accept whatever your will is in this situation with our baby. We truly believe that you are good and that you never do anything to hurt us. We don't understand but we still love you and praise you. Please let the Holy Spirit comfort us and be with us the next few days....We know that you are God alone and we can not possibly understand your ways but that they are always better than ours.

We love you. In Jesus' name....Amen.

Love, Shannon

Baby Bug

Well, here's good news...and maybe bad...all in one post.

I am pregnant.

That's the good news.

And I am bleeding.

That's the bad news.

What started as spotting has now become heavier cramping and more bleeding overnight.

I am scared. I just keep envisioning God holding me while I am holding baby Bug in my womb.

This little lovebug is supposed to be our rainbow baby.

I am going to the hospital to get my blood drawn. If my levels are high, we'll get an ultrasound...if my levels are low, we'll retest Wednesday and see if they double like they are supposed to. From those tests, they'll determine what's going on.

Please keep us in your prayers. We feel so helpless.

All we can do now is love this baby. We have prayed for this baby and I have spent a lot of time telling this baby about Jesus and listening to worship music and just loving this baby the best I can.
