Heavy Heart

I thought I should explain my little bit of distance lately. I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant. I went to a checkup at my doctors and they were happy to tell me that the visit had changed and that I was pregnant. I was so so happy and already picking out baby names. I totally thought this pregnancy was how it was like with Evelette and not with the other two miscarriages. I had an ultrasound last Friday and they said they saw no Embryo but maybe that meant it was too early to see it. So I had multiple tests and another ultrasound over the weekend and yesterday. The doctor called me yesterday and said that it is a "non viable" pregnancy. So tomorrow I have an appointment to discuss options of either having it removed or wait to have it pass naturally. My heart is very heavy and I am confused and sad. But thank the Lord I have God to look too because I know he uses everything for good. It has been frustrating because I am still nauseous and icky feeling. In sharing all this I hope to encourage others who are struggling with "baby making" or those who are just struggling. I love you all so so much and hope you all are having a better week than me. I will post some happier posts here soon, the distraction will be nice. Thanks for all your support!

Luvs,
Leah

  2. Awww sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear:( GOd does know what's best for us even though we may not understand at the time. I've been thru many many hardships that I didn't know why God could possibly allow this to happen to one of His children. He has a way of twisting the situation that the devil meant for bad and HE turns into good. I can speak from experience. So know that this may be a bad moment in your life right now but there will many many good ones soon to come:) Have faith.

  18. isnt it crazy to think how people go thru hardships without faith. i mean, its hard enough with faith. i know we do not know each other, but you are in my prayers.

    And I'll praise you in this storm
    and I will lift my hands
    for You are who You are
    no matter where I am
    and every tear I've cried
    You hold in your hand
    You never left my side
    and though my heart is torn
    I will praise You in this storm

  19. Leah,

    Dear sister, my heart and tears go out to you! I wish I had answer's, I do have some, but not as many as I would like sometimes. After I lost my first I had this very real realization that I had treasure in heaven. My heart connected more with heaven after that.

    The Lord brings joy in the midst of sorrow and beauty in the midst of ashes.

  50. Leah,
    I found your blog off of Klyn's and been following your sisters too, but have never commented! I was so sad to hear your news, I was praying for you and some other gals in the church that have been dealing with miscarriages last night as I was awake and you were on my heart! That is something that would go on the church comment card that Pastor Jess is having us fill out about questions we would ask Jesus.. such a hard one! I am glad you have a wonderful family and Jesus to hang on to through this hard time! Praying for miracles!!

  54. Thank you so much for your courage and transparency. I'm so sorry for the heartache you must be experiencing. But, I have several friends going through fertility issues, so I know that you writing about your experience is helpful to all the other women out there hurting too!

  55. My thoughts are with you! I was saddened to hear this, but just remember as you said...that God uses everything for good- even though it is hard to see in the present!

  56. Oh Leah darling, I totally understand what you're going through and I can't thank you enough for sharing. It really is true that our hardships can sometimes bless others, even if its just with a small bit of comfort, knowing that we're not alone. I read an article after my miscarriage that truly helped me to move on - it gave the great advice to just keep singing "Jesus Loves Me", specifically because of the line "they are weak but he is strong". . .I hope it helps you to remember that there's a plan in everything and a very strong God up there who holds our lost little ones in his arms while continually orchestrating his perfect will for us, even in hardship. Love you dear, take care!
