The room...

I'm sitting across the hall from the ER room where my last pregnancy went all wrong. It's strange to be so close to a place that was so overwhelmingly painful and emotional - while experiencing my next happy, healthy pregnancy. You can't help but feel a little regret (if that's the right word) for what could have been. My due date was the end if September and here we are, September 23, and I sit looking at the dark empty room. What could have been?? No matter, it's in God's hands. He had a purpose far greater than I could ever understand. And although there will always be a sadness for what we lost - I am so happy to look forward to what is in store for our lives with this new baby. Room 6... 1/2 of 3. Three is our number this time - the "lucky" number that is an answer to quiet prayers.

Additionally, I'm sitting across the hall from the room because DH is being checked over for his hernia issues. It's been a crazy year, with 2 surgeries already under our belts, and 2 more on their way very soon. Please keep our family in your prayers as we are all healing in one way or another from different health problems. It's been a year of roller coaster rides - I'm looking forward to getting off this ride in 2013 and moving on to a new, less bumpy experience! Fingers crossed!!!
