Hello Nancy! Kevin gave me your blog address when I asked him how you were doing. I am so sorry that you have had to go through a miscarriage. It is truly heart-wrenching. I've been through three. The first two were quick, they were gone before I could become attached. But the third one was really similar to yours. The baby had been dead for a couple weeks, yet I was still going through morning sickness. It took four weeks for my body to go into labor, and then 12 hours of labor, and two more days before I finally passed it all. Of course, as luck would have it, I had announced that I was pregnant just hours before the bleeding began. So, then I had to tell everyone that I had lost it. But, I am actually glad that I had told people. There were so many people that came out of the woodwork that proved to be such a comfort for me. So many people have gone through this, yet so many people don't talk about it. I've been vocal about mine, and because of that, others who experienced the same thing have known immediately that they had someone to come to. I hope that you will be blessed with those that you can find comfort in. I know you will be one that others can come to. Anyway, those weeks of uncertainty between death and labor were probably the hardest emotional rollercoaster that I have had. It was finally a priesthood blessing that put me into labor. From this last experience, I have learned so much. I am quicker to be thankful for my blessings and I am quicker to recognize my need for growth and my dependance on my Father and Savior. I've felt like the Lord allowed me to lose the baby sooner rather than later, and that the miscarriage was actually an act of mercy. It would have been so much harder to say goodbye to a baby later. I'm also much more aware of others and I understand more the purpose of RS. I've also never been so thankful to be INSANELY sick with the next preg. because it meant that the baby was still alive. I hope that maybe some of this helped. Good luck with trying again. Love, Amber Smith (wells fargo) carlandamber@hotmail.com

I thought I was the only weird one that "missed" that book when I was done. Glad I'm not. :) Can't wait to read that article, too.
