Grief never ends... but it changes... it's a passage, not a place to stay... grief is not a sign of weakness, nor lack of faith... it is the price of love.
After almost a year of praying for a child, my husband and I finally found out we were expecting our first child. Everything was going smoothly with the pregnancy until we went in for our 20 week sonogram. There was no movement or heartbeat. We had lost the baby. We were devastated. My labor had to be induced and we delivered a beautiful baby boy, Lakin Edward, on January 13th. Burying our baby was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. We could not have made it through without our faith in God, the help of our friends, and the love of our family. Since then, we have had two happy and healthy baby girls, Leyah & Lyndi, who will always be our rainbow baby full of joy and sunshine. We do it for them.

There is a unique pain that comes from preparing a place in your heart for a child that may never come.
After four years of battling my PCOS and infertility, and having an early chemical pregnancy in December, it finally happened. On February 6th I finally got those two pink lines. I remember crying because we were finally going to get to bring a precious miracle into this world. On February 8th I found out I was having my second miscarriage in two months. After the second miscarriage, our doctor ran some tests. She discovered I had a subseptate uterus and it would require a surgery to fix. After months of healing, more tests, and numerous fertility treatments later...we found out on October 31st that I once again was miscarrying and we are now grieving our third angel baby. When you want nothing more in life than to be a mom, infertility is the most difficult battle you could face. I think about my angel babies daily and can't wait to meet them one day. I do it for them.

You were carried for only a moment, but are loved for a lifetime.
It was every future moms dream. I saw those two pink lines pop up and I knew our lives were changing...growing! The next few days were the best! Then the doctor told me the worst news. My levels were too low, we were losing our baby. The next 11 months seemed to be the slowest time of my life. Then it happened! We finally got our positive again! I made an appointment with the doctor and was ready to carry our miracle! The doctor came in and I held my breath. He told me he was sorry but my levels were too low...again. We had no idea why I was losing our baby. It was frustrating, aggravating, and, well, sad. 7 months went by...and there they were, those two pink lines. I didn't know whether to be excited or cry. I didn't want to lost our baby again. But I made the appointment, I went into the doctor, they ran the tests, and I then I waited...and waited...and waited. Finally the nurse stuck her head back in the room and said, "Oh...it's positive! Congratulations!" February 2016 our rainbow baby was born! A beautiful baby boy! Life was amazing! Then in May 2017 we found out we were pregnant again! I still held my breath until the doctor confirmed it, but we are now raising two amazing little boys! I think of our angel babies every day and know they are watching over their brothers! We do it for them.

There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world.
Prayer and friendship are two things that our family holds near and dear to our hearts. After watching our good friends and close family experience the loss of precious miracles, prayer and friendship have compelled us to reach out and help in any way we can to ease the pain. Prayers have been answered for us in bringing three blessings into this world; however, we continue to pray for our close friends and family to be able to also share in the abundance of having their own miracles from God. We do this for them.

I am in love with the little humans I have yet to meet.
Pregnancy loss is very close to our family as my sister, Carmon, lost her baby at 20 weeks. While we ourselves prayed for a baby of our own, we mourned the loss of our nephew. Now we have two daughters of our own and could not feel more blessed. We know from experience how important it is to reach out to those who have lost. Behind each pregnancy and infant loss needs to be a great support system. We do it for them.

I've always believed that life is a miracle at every stage, but it never seemed as evident as when you're starting a family of your own. When you go through your child-bearing years, you suddenly realize the astounding amount of loss and sacrifice women and families go through every day. My husband and I have been blessed with four children and although infertility and miscarriage have not been a cross we've had to bear personally, it has been heartbreaking to watch so many of our friends and family experience these losses. We always hope to help them carry the weight of this cross through support, prayer, and friendship. Their road does not need to be walked alone. I hope the work of this group provides many women and families with the support and prayer they need to heal and maintain hope.
