I am...was 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant. We were elated. We decided to wait to tell the world, not because of the miscarriage, but because we really felt that everything would be fine this time around. I just wanted to see how long I could keep it a secret. For fun.

I woke up in a pool of blood this morning. Of course, we lost the baby. I don't know how to do this again. Please pray for me. For us. We need so many prayers to get through this right now.

I am so sorry, and I love you. I know it is hard to but, Please remember the Lord will not give us more then we can handle, so although it seems like you can't survive this again, the Lord knows you can and he is waiting for you to lean on him for support. I will pray for his loving arms to be around you now and through the coming months. Be strong, be on your knees, and head and hands reaching up. Love you.

My heart aches for your loss, McKenna. You have such a beautiful, sensitive way about you and I know this must just be devastating; again. You are in my prayers. Hug your sweet babies and let the ones you love comfort you - until the day comes that He will "wipe away all [your] tears."

So I came across this years ago, and find it comforting in regards to miscarriages and stillborns. Hopefully you find it so as well.

“Daddy, why are all those people crying?”
“They are crying for you, my child.”
“Daddy, look at all their tears.”
“Each one of those tears is for you my child.”
“Why?”
“My child, it is because they love you.”
“Daddy, how can this be? We never met.”
“No, my child, I brought you back to me before they had a chance to get to know you.”
“Daddy, how is it then that they can love me?”
“My child, one doesn’t have to see, or touch, or hold in order to love.”
“Daddy, those two seem to be crying the most.”
“My child, that is because they loved you the most.”
“Daddy, why would you take me away if it would make them cry?”
“My child, I needed you here.”
“Daddy, will you please comfort them and help them to not cry?”
“My child, don’t worry, I will take care of them, you will see.”
“Daddy, will I ever get to be with those that loved me most?”
“O yes, my child, this I promise. You are a family for time and all eternity.”
~ written by Jake Hinckley, uncle to McKallister, who was a stillborn child

I dont know you, I randomly came across your blog. First of all, your family is beautiful! I just wanted to say, this post made me cry. It's amazing how many women must go through this trial. (For some, several times.) I can tell that you are very strong and very loved. You have a great support system. (p.s. From your pic on your sidebar, I don't see 40 lbs that could come off.)

I, too came across this randomly. I understand first hand how you feel as well. I have 10 angels waiting for me in heaven with 3 here on Earth. I take comfort in knowing that we have the blessings of an eternal marriage/family and we will have ALL our children someday, and all will be made right. A dear prophet said, "Many mothers will be pleasantly surprised when the veil is lifted." I think I got that quote right. But you will have your baby(ies). Just be patient. The Lord loves you.

I guess that answers my question. That sounds absolutely horrific! I'm sorry. Hang in there. You've always been a strong person with a strong character. You'll all pull through. I know it.
