Well, it have been quite the last couple of weeks. After finding out we were pregnant I was put on bed rest a week later. Last Thursday the 9th, we found out the I was miscarrying. We found out that we were about 12-13 weeks along and that our baby was just not developing at all. My Aunt Amy was able to come and be with us for a few days right after we found out. That was a blessing from the Lord! We were so thankful to have her here to help us through the first couple days.
I went back to work on Monday. Monday during the night I started to have some cramping that by the time 5:30 hit had turned to intense cramps. At about 9:30 I started bleeding badly and could not stop it. I was very scared seeing all that blood and being alone in the house. Zach's mom was thankfully only about 5 minutes away and she came and took me to my doctors where we found out that I needed to have an emergency D & C so that we could stop the bleeding before I lost too much blood. We rushed over to the hospital and they were waiting for me. Before I knew what was happening I was rushed into the operating room and was put out before I knew it. I don't remember another thing until I woke up in recovery and Zach had finally made it back from Lafayette and was standing by my bed holding my hand. My blood levels we pretty low but thankfully not low enough that I had to have a blood transfusion. They released me an hour later. Zach is again taking care of me as I gain back my strength from all the blood loss. Thankfully Zach was able to stay home with me again today. I will probably be staying home the rest of the week and trying to go back to work on Monday again. My parents are coming out on Friday and we are very ready to have them be with us for a few days. While they are here we are planning on planting a memorial for our first child.
We know that God has a plan and we are doing our best to cling to that. It is harder then I could have imagined but God has given the strength to go on every time we need it. Thank you so much for all the prayers as our hearts continue to heal, as well as my body!

Angie and Zack ~ we are so happy to hear that you are depending on and walking with God right now. This situation reminds me of the common footprints poem ... only one set of footprints when He is carrying us. He can be such a comfort to us in just the way we need Him to be. He's pretty cool like that :). Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Please call if you need anything during this time or really anytime.
Know that God is holding you in the palm of his hand durning this time. We love you and know that God loves you even more. We are so thankful that you are trusting him through all this.
Love Dad & Mom Denotn
