Sadly the Lord had plans for our baby that did not include him or her coming into this world safely.  We had complications early on, but were able to see a strong heart beat. Usually this means there’s 10% or less chance of miscarrying.  But, someone has to be in that 10% and this time it was ours. Its so hard to understand why these things happen… until you remember that this world is not perfect, and this world is just a temporary home. 

We live in a fallen world, which means, we live with imperfect bodies, and imperfect health. It does not mean however that our Lord does not love us or does not care for us or that He is not in control.  As sad as it is for us, who, in 9 short weeks, grew so very excited to meet our little one, we know that baby is now made perfect and has joined the Lord in heaven.  Life is full of loss, and life is full of tragedy. But through it all we hold fast to the truth that the Lord in heaven is in control. That when we have a relationship with him, we know where we are going.  We take heart in knowing that someday we’ll walk the streets in heaven and we’ll meet the little ones we never got to hold here on earth. (And hold tighter to the ones we do get to hold here!)
