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...

oh Martha, I am so so sorry about what you are going through right now. I will be praying for you. HUGS and lots and lots of love send your way... (and lovely pictures of course)...
I had only one miscarriage, and it was so heartbreaking, even though I was of course thankful for all I had, including five children -- it doesn't change that you are suffering a great loss, which can't be replaced. You are in my prayers.
I'm so sorry, dear Martha! I know what you feel and what you go through. Two years ago I was pregnant with our third child and, at 8 weeks I had a slight bleeding, went to the hospital and they found an empty embrionic sac. I was devastated. The baby hadn't been there for some weeks. And still I was having all the pregnancy symptoms...
Despite the sorrow I realised I had to count my blessings, like you do now and be happy for all God's great gifts.
