Tomorrow is shoulda woulda coulda day.  Unfortunate as it is, my husband and I lost our first child at 19 weeks pregnant and the 16th is the day he would have been born if everything were normal and went as planned.  It has been and still is difficult.  I won't say much more.  I saw this graphic and thought it was appropriate.

and sometimes what you want isn't what life hands you.  tomorrow will mark one month since we lost our sweet son Christopher.  it has been a very difficult time for my husband and I and our faith that God will use this situation for his glory has been a comfort to us.    for now, I'll leave my post with this.  we have learned that many parents have lost their children and that we are not alone. we have learned which of our friends have come through for us and a deeper relationship with each other. below is a blog post that has helped me remember God's timing - http://www.storyofthislife.com/blog//a-big-family this organization helps families through photography to heal through the loss of their infants/babies - https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/

That's right! This Fall, the first Slider will be born to our family.
