I've been thinking a lot lately about Emma dying before birth. I said before that I was struggling with this, and I still am a little, but through the grace of our Father in Heaven, he is helping me to heal, draw nearer unto Him, and to understand His hands in all things.
I received new insight tonight, sadly it is because of my dear friend's loss. My heart is breaking for her and her family. But it made me realize something. I realized that I have been focusing too much on what we didn't have with Emma - a live birth.
But oh what things we did have with her!!!
I got to carry this sweet child for 8+ months. I got to make memories to last with her while she was inside of me. I got to hold her precious body, bathe her, stroke her fingers and toes, and snuggle with her. I have beautiful pictures with her that I can always look at. I got to feel the presence of a sweet, sweet Spirit in my life. I got to hold and see the body of an angel that was sent to touch our hearts and bless our home and family forever.
I can't help but be so grateful to Heavenly Father for all that He has blessed us with and everything we got to have with Emma.

Count the blessings not the tears. that is so true we need to focus on the positive things.
So sorry for your loss. Emma is an angel, your story has touched my heart even though I've never had to go through the issues you have. I wish you much love and strong spirits for you and your family. You older boys are adorable by the way and look like two little perfect blessings. Emma has the best mommy on earth! :)
