Asking for prayers for some friends of mine....Please...

I am not doing the grief post today, because my heart is so very heavy for others at the moment, my own grief, even as ever present as it may be,(it always is, isn't it?) It pales in comparison to what some of my friends are walking through right now at this very moment.....

I Have a list about 20 people long who need a serious miracle right now, as in life or death situations...But I am going to focus on two right now, for this post. Though, I am praying for so many constantly through the day, I sometimes feel I ever stop praying, the needs are so great right now in my inner and outer circles....But, seriously, I am pleading with you with agree with me in whatever way you can spiritually for these two people tonight....

First off, my new blogger friend HOLLY who is having complications with her twin pregnancy (once a triplet pregnancy, one was lost earlier on) after a LONG and hard battle with infertility...My heart absolutely breaks hearing what she is going through right now...Please pray for a miracle for her babies...

My second request- My dear friend Heidi- Who I know from church-(Her parents are also my pastors- Dear people) She is a fellow loss mom, who struggled to conceive as well, with all her children... we both were TTC together for a time, and  finally she got that long awaited BFP, and had her rainbow baby in Feb of this year...A beautiful little girl!...However, it is with a heavy heart, I have to report....She was just diagnosed this week with stage 3 colon cancer and it has spread to 4 lymph nodes...She is like in her early 30"s! ....This shook me, as so many I have know so personally, in the last couple years have lost their battle with cancer some as young as 22 and some children as well...It really makes you realize life is just not guaranteed....Ever....

Anyway, They are doing chemo obviously, and hoping it kills it all...But, please keep her and her family in your prayers...I cannot even imagine what it is like to battle cancer with such little ones..Or in general, at all...Please pray for a miracle, that she recovers fully and will be cancer free sooner, rather than later...

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F

Some statistics on Miscarriage

Miscarriage Statistics Overall miscarriage risk is 17-22%; risk after gestational sac is visible is 12-15% Miscarriage is one of the most frequent problems in human pregnancy. The most widely accepted definition is that proposed by the World Health Organization in 1977. The incidence among clinical pregnancies  (a pregnancy that is confirmed by both high levels of hCG and ultrasound confirmation of a gestational sac)  is about 12-15%, but including early pregnancy losses it is 17-22%. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11950476 After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks To estimate the risk of miscarriage among asymptomatic women after a prenatal visit between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation where proof of fetal viability of a singleton was obtained by office ultrasonography at the same visit. METHODS: Those recruited were 697 asymptomatic women who attended their first antenatal visit between 6 (+2 days) and 11(+

Trust & New Pajamas

So, a blog comment I got the other day from wonderful woman, and awesome supporter of mine, caused me to pause a bit, and kind of evaluate some things about my faith and relationship with God. Which I truly appreciate, because she was kind and not judgy in her words...And I felt God gently nudge my heart each time I read the comment over... I felt my face start to burn with emotion, as tears welled up in my eyes...And I finally admitted to myself... I do NOT trust God...At least not fully, like I once did... But I desperately WANT to be at that point again....Trusting fully...And filled with peace... I walked into this journey,  to try for one more, 100% SURE , God was calling us/giving us the desire  to have another baby...I/we were, 100% certain we would walk away with a baby in our arms...As a matter of fact, I would have bet my LIFE on it. Now, 3 years later, I am broken, weary, and so utterly soul shattered, that I simply cannot "look" God in the eyes...H
