We lost our daughter on August 22, 2011 at 30 weeks for no reason. My relationship with God has changed for the better. I know he is able. My husband and I will raise a living child to grow up and learn and love the Lord as much as we do. May God continue to bless you and your family. Congratulations, on your pregnancy.

My husband and I are going through the pain of losing our first child Elijah at 34 weeks on September 20th 2009. We decided on his name because it means what he knows a reality "The Lord is my God" Reading your posts made me understand what I am feeling is okay, especially when it comes to thinking of another pregnancy. We have no reason why our son died but we do know he was God's first and foremost. May God bless you as you are blessing so many with your true and honest blogs.

Reading your posts made me understand what I am feeling is okay, especially when it comes to thinking of another pregnancy. We have no reason why our son died but we do know he was God’s first and foremost.

May God bless you as you are blessing so many with your true and honest blogs.

Our first child, Ethan was born still in April, and this has been on my mind lately. We have been praying and hoping that God will bless us again, knowing we won't ever fully be over Ethan's loss.

Our first child, our son Desmond, was still born at 39 weeks on September 15 of this year. I have been struggling to figure out how to mourn and grieve and how to handle my desire to have children. Our childless house will be very quiet in the next few months. I'm planning to read through all your posts! Emily Thanks for posting about your journey with grief.

Thanks for the post - you have echoed my thoughts. I still, daily, think about some of these. My Nathan has been gone for three months now. I could never replace him, but the desire for a child is still there. Some days I am ready for that desire to be fulfilled and other days it leaves me feeling a bit overwhelmed. I like the quote from your mom-in-law. Subsequent children are not meant to replace another (whether they are alive or not). What an excellent point. I celebrate with you at God's blessing of another child. Congratulations! Just found your blog. Thanks for the post – you have echoed my thoughts. I still, daily, think about some of these.

I still had to cruise through labor and delivery to know that there would be no cry at the end. But, my husband brought up our want to adopt there on the hospital bed. We meant it as no disrespect for Bailey, but knowing what haul we would have to go through, we started the process only 7 weeks after having lost her. We weren't ready to have a child in our home right at that moment, but we knew that by the time we ended the paperwork shuffle we would be. Just a hair under 11 months shy of Bailey's death, our little girl, K- was brought into our lives. K-'s adoption was finalized on her 1st birthday, 2 days shy of her Happy Home Day with us. The Lord provides. The Lord cares. The loss of Bailey provided crucial medical information to my family that would explain why one of my cousin's had several losses. It also allowed the doctors to affectively treat another cousin who had partially tested for the same genetic blood disorders that I had. Though our first was lost, 3 babies are here because of it. Congratulations on the birth of Morrow. Don't feel that you are behind in the baby game. You are just where God wants you to be. Much love!

I just read this! Thank you SO much for posting this. After our first son died (after 3 weeks of fighting for his life in the NICU) so many of same questions were posed. God is so gracious - He carried my husband and I through the loss of our son Tyler, and through the pregnancy and birth of our second son, Levi. I'm blessed to be able to see how God has worked so wonderously in your life! Hi Molly,
