Instead, I have to write the post that says that when the doctor tried to find the heartbeat, he couldn't and after 3 ultra sounds, it was determined that our newest little family member had actually gone to live in heaven a few weeks ago. I had stopped feeling sick a few weeks ago and had worriedly called the doctor (as we had a similar experience before we had Channing) but they said not to worry, it was normal to stop feeling sick around that time.............sad of course that I'll never get to kiss those cute little toes and hear it's "little lamb" cry.....but rejoicing in the fact that right now, our precious baby is being held by its creator!! AMAZING!!!
Some cool things have happened today too......two people that know us but we're not particularly close to had randomly let us know that the Lord had asked them to pray for us today and they had! I am so glad for their willingness to listen to the Lord - for me, it just shows that God knew what a rough day this was going to be and He already had people praying for us!
Another very cool thing that happened is that I was sitting on my bed with Sully tonight and he pointed to my belly and said "baby"......so I said to him "the baby's gone to live with Jesus" and he VERY CLEARLY said "Jesus here!" and pointed right next to us - out of the mouth of babes!!!
I have to have surgery on Wednesday, so I'd appreciate some prayer for that. We also found out today that Sully has asthma! (what a day, I know!) so the first few treatments have been particularly traumatic for him.....please pray that he gets used to it and it gets a little easier.

Hey sweetie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it must be tough to walk through. I'm so glad that you two have each other and your boys to hug on and love on. Be very good to yourself right now, and take it slow and easy. I wish I lived closer - I'd come over and bring you a meal and something pretty to cheer your spirit. Give Mike a big hug and we'll be praying for you guys in this season. Love you bunches.

You are amazing! The LORD is good and makes no mistakes. He loves you so much and unlike those who do no hear him, you received confirmation many times from our loving Father. Stay strong and continue listening. Sully like you can listen and how wonderful that he felt his presence. You will be in my prayers.
What a great outlook you have. You are such a strong women and very faithful! Prayers are going your way!!!!

What a challenging time, but it sounds like your love of God is getting you through well. It is never easy to have a loss like this, but it does help to know our Creator loves us so much, and He is a great Comforter. Prayers are with you.
How completely brave of you to post this. I've been through this myself 3 times and have one healthy and crazy 3 year old. And like many have said before me, did not handle it the way you have. You give me strength. Praying for you and your family.
Michelle- Sending prayers of comfort to you and your family. May our Lord continue to wrap His love around you and that you may find peace through Him.
i have had the exact same experience. i only wish i had read this beforehand as i might have had a much better perspective on the situation. thank you for sharing and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family in mighty ways.
Michelle ~
May God grant you and yours the peace and healing only his grace can offer. May his LOVE continue to fill your heart and your example of him be carried into the many who are suffering. May God bless you for all you do for others and the leader you are to us all!!
God Bless,

Sending prayers for you and your family. Although I do not *know* you, I am amazed by the example of great faith you have and share with others.

So sorry for your loss. Also so nice to hear a lot of positive thoughts coming from a not so easy situation. You and your family will be in my prayers!
I am so sorry. Not that I could ever claim to know how you feel, but we went through this before our first. It's tough, and I'm sure you'll shed many tears in the coming days. We'll be praying for you as you grieve and as you go through your procedure this week.
Michelle, I know you don't know me but I appreciate all that you share. I pray for comfort for you and your family.
I am so sorry.
And so thankful that the God of all comfort is faithful.
(And especially thankful that you know Him!)
Praying for wisdom, for peace, for quick healing, and for skill and caring of your medical staff.
God is good.
My thoughts are with you Michelle, I went through the same thing about 18 months ago
So very sory!
You're in my prayers...
Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family. Peace and comfort that can only come from Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I love hoe you said your precious baby is being held by our Creator! When I had a miscarriage years ago I was angry with God, I unforunately turned my back on Him. I regret that phase of my life but when I see a woman of your faith it's so hopeful! May God deeply bless your family for your faith. Hugs!

Praying for you, your family, and your sweet baby in heaven!!
Michelle, I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. I know you are comforted knowing your sweet baby is being loved and cared for by the Lord and that he will be awaiting you.
You do so much to inspire our teaching and you give so generously of yourself. Thank you for the way you allow the Lord to use you to do His work in helping with so many of His children.
I will be praying,
Julie
Michelle, I'm so encouraged by your heart and that you can rejoice that your baby is with Jesus!
Michelle-
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your angel will be watching over you during your surgery and always!
Please take care of yourself. Peace be in your heart.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Warmly,
Kerri
I am so sorry to hear this!! I wish I had great words of comfort for you but I will be praying for you and your family!!!
So sorry for your loss. Praying for you.
Oh Michelle, this doesn't seem like "little" news at all....Like everyone else, I'm so sad this happened to your family. We walked the same road in December...like you, I had to blog about it. I hope you can take comfort that you don't walk this path alone. I've never met you, but tonight, I'll be lifting you up. I found it surprising how our loss would kind of hit in me waves. You already know Jesus is in your boat with you, (LOVE that comment from your son!), but it doesn't always make the storm go away.
Michelle, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will pray for you and your family. Your faith is inspiring. You will not be far from my thoughts.
A newbie to your blog. Sending much love and prayers for you and your family. I went through exactly the same thing. 2 miscarriages and we finally had our baby boy.
Hugs
Judy
Michelle -
I know we do not know each other, but I can say that I do understand. I had two miscarriages and before my newest blessing, my daughter of 6 months went to be with the Lord. At the time I didnt question but I wished so badly to have her, mainly because she is my first and only daughter. But the Lord, because He is so GOOD, had the perfect plan for my family. So a year later He allowed me to become pregnant again and I had my 3rd boy in Oct.
So I just want to say God's plan is perfect and wants what is best for us. The last thing I said to my daughter was to choose which parent she wanted (though of course she didnt know how too!) but I am content and at peace she chose the BEST PARENT - OUR HEAVENLY FATHER!! I know that when I get to heaven I will have 3 of my children, that I never could really be with, waiting for me to show me around!! And so will you!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT - THEY ARE IN HIS GLORY ALREADY!!!
So I will be praying for you and yours.
Blessings to you always
Love
Monica
