Today we are sad
12/28/2007 09:59 AM
Last night at a little
before 9:00 pm we lost our baby. We were surprised,
because things had been going so well. We had just
had an ultrasound on Christmas Eve that showed that
the region where the placenta had pulled away had
shrunk to half its size, and the baby was very active
and healthy. As difficult and shocking as it was, we
are glad we lost the baby here at home and not in a
sterile hospital room surrounded by strangers.
I'm not going to any more detail about what happened
other than to say that Beta was a little boy.
Today Lisa, Ian, and I are spending the day together
as a family, celebrating the rich blessings that God
has bestowed on us. Why this happened we may never
know, and nor do we need to. We feel His comfort, and
we trust in His goodness, which is all-sufficient.
