1 Year Ago Today, Plus 7 Month Pic!

One year ago today, on Halloween of 2013, Jon, Wyatt and I walked in to a routine sonogram to catch a glimpse of our new precious baby at 19 weeks.  What was supposed to be an exciting, fun day turned into a slightly worrisome day when we were told that there was something wrong with our baby.  We were referred to a high risk clinic to find out more information.  So tomorrow, November 1st, marks one year from the day that we were told that our baby was not likely to survive and were given very specific instructions on what to do "when" we miscarried.  And we were told it would probably happen in the next week or so.  This month has taken me down memory lane over and over again...especially all the sights and sounds.  Last year I watched, with joy, my precious boys jumping in leaves with a loved baby in my belly, knowing she may not make it.  This year I got to watch the boys playing in the leaves with Maggie on my hip.  Last year I watched all the leaves on our tree die and fall off...but first they turned a vibrant red and it was a beautiful sight to behold.  Just like the tree, we found beauty in the precious time we had with Maggie before she left us.  This year she got to see the leaves change colors with her own two beautiful eyes.  Last year we went trick or treating with the boys while trying to put the worries out of our mind for an evening so we could focus on giving the boys a fun experience.  This year I bought THREE costumes.  We may not trick or treat for very long because all five of us are all alive and healthy enough to be blessed with the common cold!!  I am in tears writing this.  We are so, so, so blessed.  During that time of pain there was so much beauty and I wouldn't trade that experience for the world.  I will never be able to stop thanking and praising Jesus for my wonderful husband, my precious Wyatt and Jack, and our little miracle Maggie.  She was 7 months old on October 24th and she brings us so much joy.
