From miscarriage to miracle

A few weeks ago I posted about how our 2nd pregnancy had ended in a miscarriage. Like our first pregnancy, we had had a lot of complications along the way, and after seeing the heartbeat at one doctor's appointment, it later went away and we were informed the baby had died.

However, this time a true miracle happened! 2 weeks later when I was scheduled for surgery to have the baby removed via a D&C, they did a final sonogram to double-check if anything was left and... the heartbeat came back! The baby was alive - something no one thought was possible. Praise the Lord. You should have seen the shock that myself, the nurses and doctors all experienced.

God has definitely been doing miracles for us along this process of starting a family. Both pregnancies were true miracles (I had 2 different doctors at the time that through blood tests and sonograms thought it was pretty much impossible) and now this. While we can never be sure of what the road ahead has in store for us, we can definitely tell you that we believe in miracles and we know that God is teaching us to remember to trust in him along the way.

We wish we could have shared the good news sooner since many of you were so kind to comfort us after the miscarriage, but it's been such a roller coaster ride that we didn't want to get anyone's hopes up again until the first trimester had passed.

We love you all and we hope you find some hope in our story of faith and miracles!
