Sunday Picnic and a Broken Heart

Hi there,
I made a layout of Luke flying his Batman kite, who says you can't make boy layouts flowery?! I love this Sunday Picnic line by Websters Pages. If you are in New Jersey, you can get the full line of paper at Paper Wings.




I am going to get very personal and serious now, if you choose to move on, now is your chance.
Recently I shared some Project Life pages and the news that we were expecting. Yesterday I had an ultrasound and was devastated to learn there was no longer a heartbeat and my baby stopped growing. After my last appointment my doctor thought I was "out of the woods" so we started sharing our happy news with everyone.
This is my third pregnancy loss and this one seems to be hitting me the hardest. Maybe because deep down I know I can't bear to go through this again, so the hope of a sweet little baby to hold in my arms, love, smell, and snuggle has been lost.
For the past 6 weeks since I found out, I have dreamed of kissing little fingers and toes, nursing my baby and spending hours watching him/her sleep. My sweet little Luke has been overjoyed with the prospect of a brother or sister and his little heart was broken when we explained to him that our baby went to Heaven. (I found this book to read to him, it had good reviews for children his age.)
For those of you blessed with healthy babies, remember how precious every moment is with them and for those of you that share a similar experience, I grieve along with you and the loss of your angel babies.

Oh Mors. I am so very, very sorry. If you need anything. And I mean anything please call me. I feel like jumping on a plane and spending a week with you. I love you and I am so very deeply sorry you had to suffer through this. The only thing I can think of that might help just a tiny bit is your Mom is having the time of her life keeping your babies for you. I love you a ton.
xoxoxo Love,
N.

I am truly sorry to hear your sad news. Just lasy night, my son and I were disussing a miscarriage that I had before he was born. I told him that although I did not know it then and was so sad, God had another plan for us and that was my adopted son. Keep your angel in your heart. I know it is a very sad time for you and your family. HUGS to all.
