More prayers and thoughts needed

I just found out last night tht Preston and I's friend Tamika and her husband Gesner lost their baby at 19 weeks on Thursday. I dont know the details yet, but it had something to do with an infection. Tamika is still in the hospital fighting the infection that took her baby. Please send loads and loads of prayers their way. I know some of our followers have had to endure this awful situation, so please please think of Tamika and pray that God grants her and Gesner some peace in this horrible time. Thanks!

Sometimes it seems to pour down when one thing happens, but I am still very hopeful for our sweet Mamas that are having such a hard time getting pregnant as well as our Mamas that are dealing with the loss of a baby. I dont always think it is fair, but after all is said and done, God will guide you to where you are supposed to be in life.

I think a lot about Janna (http://randyandjanna.blogspot.com/) in this situation who lost her sweet baby at 17 weeks and accredits her angel with saving the life of her next baby decause of the manner she lost her angel. If she had not lost her angel she would have not known of her issue with her cervix dialting on its own and was able to have a successful cerlage (sewing the cervix shut) and has her baby boy Kason who is happy and healthy and almost 8 months!

Lots of love, baby dust, peace and prayers to all my girls.

Sending out love and prayers

I was saddened to hear another one of our blog followers has lost her first baby, she is not ready to discuss it yet, since it is too recent. I am so sorry for your loss and want you to know please take the time you need to grieve. You are very loved and surrounded. Take all the time you need, when you are ready, I am here.

It is hard for people who have not lost a baby during pregnancy to understand the feeling that surrounds it as well as the people that surround you. There is never the perfect thing to say or do. Just make sure they know you love them and are there for them whenever they need you. After my second miscarriage, I began to notice how "taboo" people considered a pregnancy loss. To me, that was ridiculous. It implies that it should be secretive or almost guilty. Obviously, none of that is true, but it is a very difficult thing to figure out in your head. Everyone does it differently.

Please know my dear friend that I love you very much and are here when you are ready and I hate that you are going through this. I would not wish it upon even a sworn enemy. I love you.
