Not a happy post

For those of you who don't know, Jennifer's Mom died this past weekend. It still is a huge shock to all that knew her. Jennifer is one of my very best friends and the strength she is displaying through this a amazing to me. Please send all your thoughts and prayers to her and her family.

And I think its time I post about something major that happened in our lives. Awhile ago, I confirmed my thoughts that I was pregnant. Yes, it was very unexpected and once the shock wore off, we were happy to be adding a new little one into our already crazy lives. But for some reason, it was not meant to be. At 12 weeks along, I insisted on being seen by the local OB/GYN because I knew that something was not right. It was then confirmed to me that I had suffered another miscarriage. And yes, it was devastating. I can't tell you how quickly we thought of ourselves with a 4th child, and then to be told that it wasn't meant to be. Those who have had a miscarriage will understand when I say that the loss that you feel is tremendous. To make matters worse, at yet another ultrasound with the doc this past Friday, he tells me that it was most likely twins. Yep. Numb, that is how I felt. Without going into too many details, I was due to have a d&c today, but Friday night I miscarried here at the house on my own. There is more to it, but I won't bore everyone with all the details.

I want to leave this post with something happy. How about this cute picture of my nephew Nicholas. (I stole this off of Jeff's Blog!) ISN'T HE ADORABLE?!?!
