Sad and Thankful

I've never been more thankful that my baby is a wiggle worm as I am today. 

My heart is full and hurting for a friend, we've known each other since 6th grade.  We were due the same day, May 16th and both having boys.  On Monday she went into the doctor and they couldn't find a heart beat.  They did a c-section that afternoon.  Her husband travels several weeks out of the month  and her parents are on a mission right now - I'm praying her husband was there with her when she found out but I'm just not sure.

I can't imagine what she must be feeling right now.  I haven't seen her since our high school graduation, but the past few months we've shared something that was fun and special.  I'm not sure if I'm so emotional because I'm so close and I think that is every pregnant women's greatest fear or what, but I can't stop thinking about her. 

Ever since I found out last night this little dude has been especially wiggly, every time I need the reassurance that he's okay I get a nice kick - such a simple tender mercy. 

I pray that her family can find peace and comfort.

Wow, I am so sorry. I know each and every time I gave birth to a healthy baby I was so grateful. The whole process is truly miraculous...from conception to birth. I hope too that she will find peace and comfort through this difficult time.
