Count your blessings

This has been a difficult month...right now my body is going through a possible miscarriage.  I haven't ever had one before, but it is so hard to deal with the unknown.  Last month, we were happily surprised to find out I was pregnant.  And then last week, I had an appointment with my midwife and they couldn't find a heartbeat, although I thought I was 12 weeks along. Still, I was optimistic that all was fine, until the ultrasound.  I had a blood test done which showed my HCG levels to be at 10,000, which means the baby stopped growing about 5 weeks.  My body kept growing, the uterus and placenta thought all was well...

Here are some of my favorite photos from 3 weeks ago, after Nativity services, with family.   I have so much to be thankful for...
My littlest nephew, John Frederick, turned 3 months old this week.  And his papa, Andrey, will be 42 next week.
