It's almost 5am and I can't sleep.....because all I can think about is those tiny little arms and legs. God is so amazing, look what he created. I would rather have gone through all this than to have never known this little one at all. This sweet baby brought so much love and joy. Life is so amazing! My sweet children are the reason I'm here and the inspiration for everything Ben and I do, even the ones we never held. I was put on this earth to be Ben's help meet and the mother of these five children. They are all blessings from God! I'm making a conscious effort to praise God for all the little blessings around me. We have so many reasons to praise him! I want to trade my sorrows for the joy of the Lord. I know that sorrows will come, but I want to train my heart to praise even in times of great sorrow. Thank you God for this precious life!
Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :) This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We

I am so, SO sorry to that you and your family are going this. I had a miscarriage earlier this year and was so happy to read that you were pregnant again.
My thoughts are with you and your wonderful family during this time.

It must have been Providence that I stumbled upon your site-I just lost a baby last Monday, after a long and difficult pregnancy. We were given the option of "terminating the pregnancy" five months ago, when severe abnormalities were detected, but chose to give life to the sweet little one who was struggling to live. She only lived for two hours, but we know that we will see her again, just as surely as you will see your little one again someday.
May the peace of Christ envelop you and your family while you heal.
Love,

I forgot to say that I know exactly what you mean about needing to keep busy with projects. I've had many people offer to take my children off my hands so I can rest, and to help out with housework, but I NEED to have my children around me, and NEED to keep busy, or I'll go crazy! An idle mind is the devil's playground.
Good luck and blessings again,
Marqueta
May god bring you and your family peace
