today is my birthday

I am 34. 

Last year on this day, hubby and I traveled to the OB to see our second baby on ultrasound... only to be told that there might be a problem.  A week later, there was no heartbeat, and soon after that, our Angel was gone from my body.

So today, I am sad.  Today, I am teary. 

However, I am also very grateful because this year God gave me a better birthday present.  A healthy baby girl!!!  I'm going to try to focus on that to get through the wild emotions of today.

    Happy Birthday - she looks so sweet! I think that your birthday will always have a tinge of sadness but know that your kids love you....all 3 of them.

    When I walk down memory lane and relive the moment we lost our baby it tears me to shreds. To be honest, I try and not go there, as its too painful. Lleyton's due date was 3 days following my angelversary which always reminds me that God sent a rainbow after the storm.

    So happy you have been blessed with your rainbow! And our angels will continue to bless us from above.

    Happy Birthday and may your spirits be lifted and your heart less heavy.

    Happy Birthday!
    Your sadness mixed with joy,reminds me of Psalm 30:5--Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. May you and yours be blessed as, together, you walk the path the Lord has set before you.

    P.S. I believe I will place one of my prayers/pleas of loss on one of my bookmarks in my etsy shop. I've been hesitant about sharing this particular piece, but I feel it is finally time. Take care.
