My friend Samantha told me to look at this blog and look at how sad this story was. So I went to it and read the story and looked at the slideshow. Well it is about a young couple who have been married only a little under a year. They found out they were pregnant right after being married. She was due on June 28th of this year. Well the night of June 26th before they went to bed they spent some time rubbing her belly and talking to the baby because they could feel him kicking and moving and hiccuping. When she woke up the next morning there was no more movement from the baby. So she went straight in to get a stress test done and there was no heartbeat. Their little boy had died before he evn had a chance in this world. I just couldn't imagine going through that. Like what would I do without my precious little girl? Why do I take for granted the gift of life so much? Why am I so impatient with the greatest blessing you can have? I should be thankful I have a child when many other's don't and may not ever have one. Now if I am able to have another baby the doctor's don't know but only time will tell. I still need to appreciate what I have right here and right now and stop worrying about money, bills, and my future. I need to worry about right now and the little life I am missing out on because of my constant working and not having patience to deal with her. I could not imagine what my life would have been like if I lost Lucy or gave her up for adoption. I think we all take for granted the blessings of having children that God has gave us. We never stop and think everything can change in the blink of an eye whether your baby is just barely born or in their older years. Just like Lil Gibby his life ended to soon. 6 years is not enough time on earth, but Heavenly Father has other plans and you just have to learn to accept it. And put your faith in him knowing he has a plan, for all of us. But how? How can you accept the fact your Child's life is cut short? Well enough is enough I need to stop crying but here is a little note that I just really felt I needed to write!

First, your blog is totally cute. I love the new format.
Second, You are completely right. Our children are our greatest blessings in this life. It can be very difficult to be patient with them, believe me I know (cough, cough, avarie). But they grow out of these phases and then you miss that phase. Take Addisen, in my mind she has always been such a good girl, always. But when i really push myself I can remember many times that she pushed my buttons and made me angry, I remember bad days when I try hard to think about it, but most of the time I have forgotten all of that I just remember the good and I miss it. I miss her cute sweet little ewalk voice and her chubby little body learning to walk around the house and her sweet little comments and funny things she would do. She was so much fun. I don't feel like I treasured it enough. So treasure Lucy. She is already 4. She has grown so much. Parenting is stressful, but if you can take the time to really enjoy her you will have so many more memories of the good rather than the bad.
Like the story you read, I get these kinds of reminders too about how precious our children are and how blessed we are to have them. It always makes me want to be a better parent, and usually I am. I have those times when I'm not such a good parent too, and then I need a little wake me up like this story to remember how much I love my children and I love that they are part of my life.
So thanks for the wake me up. I needed it today. We're having Carters b-party today and I always need a reminder to keep me from stressing out on those kinds of days.
Crying at Greenwood watching the blog on baby Mac just another memory from us working together. I agree with what you wrote and what we talked about. You never know how fast life can change.
