Prayer needed

I am asking for all of you whom read this to please say a prayer today for our friends. They are currently at the hospital expected the arrival of their first child. Please pray that she has an quick, easy but most importantly SAFE delivery. Also, pray that she delivers a healthy little boy or girl. We are so excited for them!

We will pray as well!
I just found your blog through the infant loss directory. I gave birth to our twins very premature and they passed on shortly after. Thank you for sharing yourself with me, a complete stranger. It is already helping me to navigate this grief.

Hey Melissa. I am praying for your sweet friend. And thankful for your comment on my blog. I love your little tattoos. :) I will be praying for you as seek wisdom in growing your family. I don't think there's any formula or perfect waiting period when it comes to stepping out in faith again after a loss. For me, I had to wait until I found peace about Miller Grace... peace enough that I wasn't absolutely desperate for her... and peace enough to know beyond the shadow of any doubt that it was a new baby and not THAT baby that I was longing for. If that makes sense. For me, I had to wait until her place in our family and in our life was just so clearly established that no one would (that mattered) would ever think this baby was conceived in an effort to fill the void she left. This pregnancy has been dominated by joy and hope, instead of the sorrow and pain I think a pregnancy would have been before I was ready. There are still hard days, still sad days, still impossible days... but my four babies are so distinctly different in my mind and heart and that makes all the difference for me.

There's my two pennies. :)

I'm praying for you and I'm right here if there's anything else I can do or say. All three of your babies are beautiful!
