This past week has been a difficult one for me.
Monday, I felt a little strange although I couldn't put my finger on it.
Tuesday, I started to bleed a little which I understand is very common during the first trimester but I promptly made a doctor's appointment to make sure that everything was progressing as it should.
Wednesday during my appointment the doctor couldn't detect a heartbeat and tests were ordered. I came home prayed, cried, and worried while I waited for my doctor's office to call with results, which were to return back on Friday for another appointment.
On Friday my worst fear had come upon us, our unborn baby has died.
I can't put into words the pain, loss or sadness that surrounds me. I will embrace mourning and wait patiently for joy to arrive.
"You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy"
Psalm 30:11
