Due...

Today my sweet baby is due to be born. I'm sad. There is something so final about this day... like the end of a season, or a cycle. The thought of my baby being here now is bittersweet. Today I thought about how I would have an almost 2 year old and a newborn .....but they are not here, and I miss them deeply. My precious children.... I've been trying to keep busy, there are so many new and exciting things going on right now.... but I just can't make myself feel it. I found these pictures of my baby today and I wanted to share them with you. Oh this baby brought so much hope and joy! I remember thinking I would never carry another baby just days before I found out I was pregnant. I am so happy that I was able to carry this sweet angel .....even knowing now how it would end, I would do it all again. I know God has a plan...and I do trust him, but today is hard. Really hard. I'm going to take a few days off. I'll be back soon.

Thinking and praying for you, Samantha. Even in your weakness, I stand amazed at your strength. Praying the Lord's strong and loving arms carry you through this sorrow, this 'anniversary' of sorts. I'm so very sorry...

I am so sorry for your loss here on earth. Rejoice in the fact that you have an angel waiting for you in glory. That sweet angel will be there to welcome you with open arms. My heart is breaking for you and I don't even know you. My prayers are with you. God understands your hurt and only He can comfort you. Take care..

What can I say but that I feel your pain. I have birthed 2 babies and lost 3 babies. Yes, God does have a plan, though it often seems unclear to us. His plan for us led us to China. We now have a 17 yo, 10 yo, 4 yo, and 3 yo. We are blessed. You are surrounded by His love today, the love of your friends, and the love of those that have been where you are.

:( I'm so sorry, mama. I had a miscarriage too, in the fall of '07. I got pregnant again right after that and now have a healthy baby, but even that does not take away from the pain I still feel for the baby we didn't ever get to meet. She was real, she was mine, and she's gone, but she'll always be my baby and it will always be a painful loss. It just sucks, and there's no two ways about it. Thinking of you today.

I cry with you. I just passed my baby's should have been due date on march 20th. I felt like I was mourning (all over again) alone. I pray that you would have loved ones to comfort you (so that you don't feel alone)...that the lord would fill you with his peace...and be working a healing in you. I am so sorry for your loss.

We grow up taking certain things for granted. I thought that I would grow up, get married, have a family...it would all be easy. I never thought there would be any difficulties with pregnancy, but we lost our son Luke when I was 20 weeks. I look at my other children and see the love that I have for them, they are so special...it is hard to not feel discontent when I wonder what my Luke would be doing, what new discoveries he would be making. He would have been five this July, I am still sadden when my thoughts drift to him, but the sorrow is a sweet one now...sometimes(: My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Samantha, you are in my prayers today. These anniversaries are hard. Time does make it a little easier, but even years from now, when this date rolls around you will always get that feeling in the pit of your stomach. Surround yourself with your Littlies and hang onto Jesus. Love to you!

I am praying for you!! Three of my children are in Heaven with Jesus. I lost two in 1995 and Pierce's twin in 2003. I know the sorrow, but God is there for you!

You've been in my prayers. I miscarried over 2 years ago, and my heart still sometimes aches to hold that darling baby. My prayer is for all my children to join me in heaven (I have four little blessings here on earth), and God spoke to me and told me one of them is already there waiting. Won't that make my entry into Heaven that much sweeter?

Samantha,
I am sorry that I wasn't here to read this the day you needed love and support. I hope that you know that you are loved and that I think of you often as well as your sister. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on or a friend to listen, I am here. Many hugs dear friend.

You have my sympathy...
I thought of this post when my daughter miscarried at 9 weeks a couple of weeks ago. The baby would have been born on my birthday this coming fall. I know that I will think of that wee little one on that day.
Blessings on you and your family.

Loved the beautiful dresses you made the girls for Easter! So classic.

For some time now I have tried to talk myself into telling my story. I think I felt like nobody would understand. Now I see I was wrong. Thanks for sharing your story. I think I will fight my way through the tears and share mine. I am so glad you are surrounded by love and support.

Samantha,
I came across your blog and feel so thankful to have found it. It truly was a God-send and ministered to me. I was so saddened to read of your losses and yet thankful for your sharing. I related so much to what you shared as I had two miscarriages in the past year, both around week eight... and struggled with sorrow, anger, disbelief... I believe that God is sovereign, yet still struggle with understanding the losses and sorrow. I know that the Lord has a plan for us. I take comfort in knowing that our babies are with the Lord and that one day I will meet them, just as you will... Just wanted to tell you that I am praying for you and your family for comfort in your losses. Thank you so much. God bless.

New triple bunks.

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 ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
