Still praying here for you Heidi. I wanted to tell you since you are a fellow scrapbooker, that when I had my miscarriage a few years ago it helped to make a scrapbook page using the sonogram picture and a doctor apt card that I had and I pressed some flowers that someone had sent us. Just a thought. I still look at it from time to time and remember my little one in heaven. Love you Heidi.
Heidi, I am so sorry for your family's loss. Praying that God will give you peace and comfort, and if it is His will that He would bless you with another little one to hold in your arms.
Heidi, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been traveling and haven't logged on since before your post confirming my fears (when I read Crystal's prayer request for you, I had a bad feeling I knew why). I've been praying for you. I lost a little one five years ago early in my pregnancy and although sometimes it still hurts, I rejoice that I will see my little one in Heaven! One thought that really helped me was to think that the first person my baby saw was Jesus! Can you imagine skipping over life's sorrows and just waking up in Jesus' arms? Selfishly though, I'm glad for my son I have on loan from the Lord, even though he's experienced colic, bronchitis, skinned knees, etc., etc. Oh, I'm sorry to ramble on... I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and praying for you. I pray the Lord will answer your prayer for another blessing when you are ready. Blessings,
Anne~ Thanks so much for your kinds words. My brother and his wife had a baby yesterday; and, as much as I didn't want it to happen, I had a really rough evening yesterday, and it kinda spread over into this morning. So, it's nice to know that people are remembering me in their prayers- that feels good. We have 2 babies that skipped right over into heaven- and putting it that way, makes it not sound quite so sad. Thanks for that!
I'm sorry you are having a difficult day. Much as you rejoice when folks have a new baby, it does remind one of one's loss. My brother and sil lost a baby last year and then this summer, the same month that little one would have been born, they found out they were expecting again. I am so glad for them, but once again, I cried for my little one I haven't met yet. I'm just so thankful for the fact that because of Jesus saving me, I can look forward to seeing my baby face to face one day! (((Heidi))) Keeping you in my prayers,
You know what, Anne, I bet they are! That's a neat thought. When did you lose your baby? I lost one in August on 1997, and this one in September of this year.
Ladies, I'm sending a picture. It's one of many Brooke sent to me once. When I first saw it, I thought "That's MY little guy that's in Heaven!!!" May it bless you in your hurt as it does me.
Count my babies in with the playing bunch in heaven. I lost one in January 1997, that was a great 19 birthday present. I lost another Thanksgiving 2004. The first one was hard. My husband and I had only been married for 5 months when we lost it. Then 6-8 weeks later we got pregnant with our oldest. Last year my girlfriend was trying to get pregnant, our boys are 6 days apart and our girls are 13 days apart. So we joked around about us getting pregnant together and these ones being born on the same day. She found out she was pregnant and so did we on the same day. Our due dates being 2 days apart. I am not sure who it was harder on when I lost it me or her. She now has a 3 month old baby boy and has a hard time seeing us without our "boy" too.
Jackie that picture brought tears to my eyes. Can you send that to me, I would love to have it. I have a special card I keep in my Bible that has the date my baby died. I miscarried in Dec. 1997, I was 13 weeks pregnant. I would love to rewrite it on the back of that picture with Jesus holding the baby. Its an image that puts my heart at ease.
My little guy, Aaron Christopher, would have been seven this month. This is the picture of what he is today in my eyes. I love the joy in Jesus' face as he's playing with these guys......
Last picture!!! Heidi, this is for you and your girls. It sure isn't mine; Rachael I could see as the older one, but Faythe would be more at home tickling with the boys in the previous picture!
My eyes are welling up. I never thought in a million years what a comfort these pictures might be to someone who had lost a child to miscarriage. I did frame a couple for a friend of mine who lost a grandchild when he was 7. They can be enlarged pretty easily with the right program (any publishing or photo editing one). God bless you gals! It's making me anxious to see my big sister when I get there, too! (my mom miscarried a couple years before I was born)
