Little Soul

Well, today we learned that now just wasn't the right time for the little kidney bean soul pictured in the last post. Miscarriage hit us and the pregnancy is over at just barely 9 weeks, but we're okay. We're confused, since the heartbeat was still strong as of yesterday, but that's life. Quite a mystery.

Happily counting Jackson among our blessings...Happy to be together again (since Dan was on a business trip this week)...Happy to have vacation coming...

That vacation will take me away right over my first blogiversary so please forgive the lack of exciting posts to mark the occasion. Perhaps a contest when I return...I'll be back to blogging sometime in August.

Until then, dear readers and Little Soul,

good night.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost a baby too, so I can sympathize. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Catherine and family, I am so terribly sorry to hear about your loss. I still have the ultrasound from the first child we lost and it's put away in my firesafe. It still hurts but I feel that by saving the picture that we've honored our little lost one as well. Please save all of your memories as well. Hugs to you all and I hope the vacation allows you all time to re-center yourselves and heal.

My love and support are with You, Dan, and Jackson. That little Mandle Kidney Bean soul will not be forgotten and I believe is even now resting peacefully on his/her little puffy cloud in heaven. Prayers to watch over you and family. Looking forward to having the Mandle clan together again this weekend!!!
