A year ago today, I was not pregnant with Faith yet. A year ago today, I was mourning my 4th loss in a row, doubting if I would ever have another baby. On Nov 7th, 2003 I had my last dnc for my last pregnancy loss.
My dr at the time told us to wait 2 months to try and conceive again. Of course we didnt follow her directions, we didnt try but we didnt prevent. She kept telling me with my age, it probably wouldnt happen the first month anyways.
So low and behold I was pregnant about 3-4 weeks after dnc.. And now we are truley blessed with Faith in our lives. Its scarey for me to think"What if we did wait","What if we did follow drs orders".Im glad we followed our hearts and not the dr LOL
Its just amazing to me that a year ago, I was down and lacked Faith.Now, Faith is what makes me believe in miracles.

(((Jackie))) I am truly, from the bottom of my heart, so happy for you and your husband. I read your post to my dh and he said that he thinks what you wrote was one of the most beautiful things he has ever heard. I am so happy that you have Faith in your lives.

I really think that those of us that have to go through so many different things in order to have our beautiful babies really do take the time to realize what a miracle it is and just look at things a little differently than most. Amazing isn't it how things can make such a turn around in one year!! I am so very happy for you!!

What an approriate name for your baby !!!! I don't know your whole story,but today's post is beautiful!! I have learned from my own lifes experiences,that we don't always understand why things happen,but if we do have Faith in God,He makes "all things work together for good ,for those that love the Lord " ThANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS !

Amazing how much things can change in a years's time! A year ago, I would have never thought that we would be putting Honey to sleep in March! Now, I can't imagine not having Jasmine in my life! So, my big change was with my pets! You just never know!

I'm so glad you have Faith and that is a perfect name for her!
