On Thursday March 20th we were at church watching Emily being baptized when I realized something was wrong. Tracy and I headed to the hospital and they told us I was fully dilated and we would have less than a 1% chance of holding off delivery for several weeks. Easter Morning, March 23rd 2008, our son was born at 17weeks. He weighed 6.5 ounces and was 7 3/4 inches long. Very tiny but everything we could have imagined in a son. Our hearts are so broken over losing another baby, our son!
We have learned though that God is sovereign and he brings healing to those who hurt. As I'm writing this it is March 11th, Mothers Day. Today I grieve the loss of Thomas and of Annie but I am not without hope. Hope that God will bring good things from our suffering, Hope that he will strengthen us and make us stronger than before, Hope that he will bless someone else through our loss, Hope that he will bring us closer as a family through this, Hope that he will bless us with another child. Without Christ we would have no hope but because of him, we can face today and face tomorrow with him who we put our trust in. Thank you God!
These are pictures of our little son..... "There is no foot too small that it cannot impact this world"
Tracy and I would like to thank everyone for all of their support and prayers over the past weeks! We have truly been showed what it means to have faithful friends. We both were so amazed at how many of our friends from work (both at AT&T and IMA) kept us in their thoughts and prayers. Just goes to show that it's not always "out of sight out of mind". Thanks to all of you for your faithful friendship!
