After several tries of attempting to sit down and write about my life over the past month, I realized that there is nothing that is ever going to be enough to describe what it has been like... It's hard to put into words. I just want to share a few things:
Ryan and I are blown away by the unbelievable outpouring of love, prayers and concern we have received from our friends, family, extended family and even some people we have never met. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful people surrounding us. Thank you for the prayers you have said for us and the thoughts of concern and love that you have sent our way. We FEEL it, we feel the love and are grateful...more than we can say.
We were with such special people on January 26, 2011. Thank you to our loving family members that were by our side every step of the way and that took care of us for weeks following. Our nurses were the most incredible caregivers... they were so compassionate and loving. I was in amazing hands with my doctor who took special care of me and who also cried with me. I could not have hand-picked more perfect women to care for Ryan and I during our hospital stay. We have already been back there to see them and look forward to the day when we can visit them again under happier circumstances. They truly made what could have been such a terrible experience, a special memory for us...they made such an impact.
Ryan and I have experienced an unbelievable loss and to think of how we physically and emotionally have made it to where we are today solidifies that there is someone so much greater in control. We both truly believe that and are not selfish for what we have lost, but find peace in knowing that something was not right with this pregnancy. Our baby boy wasn't healthy enough to bring us the joy that we were hoping for and the joy that every baby deserves.
Looking back at our stay in the hospital and the weeks of disbelief that followed that, I never would have thought that this would happen. However, I am accepting of everything and accept that it is all part of what makes me who I am. I am so thankful to have Ryan and I can't imagine my life with out him. He has been so much more than what is expected of a husband. He is everything to me and I could not have imagined more love, support, or friendship out of this man. He amazes me.
My pregnancy was such a blessing, a truly great experience and I am genuinely thankful for every minute of it. Ryan and I are looking ahead to the future and know that we will have a healthy baby when the time is right. When that day comes I can only imagine the amount of appreciation and love that we will feel.
Ryan and I have taken what has happened and put it in a special place in our hearts. We will forever be changed by what has touched us and will forever have another angel by our side.
