“If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there.” Psalm 34:18
This is an incredibly hard post to write and publish. Today was the day that we were going to reveal my pregnancy to friends and followers. I would have been nearly 18 weeks pregnant. The wait for this announcement was a full month and a half longer than in my first pregnancy. I guess I wanted to relish in only us knowing, and also because I didn’t really “feel” pregnant. My symptoms weren’t nearly as strong with this baby as they were with Remy. On top of that, I had two bad ultrasounds, multiple blood tests with poor results, and bleeding. All of which led to our baby eventually dying. I have to stay positive and believe that it happened for a reason. I also have hope that God will bless us with a third and healthy child that I will be able to carry to term. If I don’t trust in these things, the pain is too much to bear.
Here are two additional quotes that have brought me some comfort.
Do you have quotes or passages that you turn to for solace?
To my sweet Rowen, I’ll always love you.

Hello, Scarlett Blog
/ 02/16/2018Thank you. I wrote this nearly two months ago when everything had just happened and was so raw. After finding different ways to cope, I feel a lot better about what happened. I also know that I am not alone. I have found that reaching out to others who have experienced one or more miscarriages helps. We will all get through it!
