Lately it has crossed my mind that as this baby gets ever closer to arriving and as it gets close to that one year anniversary of losing Joshua that it might be time for me to "merge" Joshua's blog into our family blog.
I needed a separate place to put down all of thoughts and feelings for a while, I'm not sure if I can explain why, but it somehow seems more "right" to stop posting these parts of life in separate places. I'll see if I still feel that way in a couple of weeks. For now, I am remembering this time last year as the last few days that he was still a part of me. At the same time I am looking forward to this Saturday as the day we will welcome a baby girl into the world. The weird intertwining of it all is what makes it seem like I should somehow find a way to put all of these parts of me together in one place; spiritually, emotionally, and in the case of these blogs: physically. Again, we'll see if that feeling persists in the days and weeks to come.
No matter what I decide to do, this story is far from over! God is working in and through us and the blessings and tragedies that he allows to come our way.
Grace and peace.

A look at life, loss, and redemption
Our story
I found out I was pregnant in August of 2007 with our second child and everything was "normal" as far as we knew, until December 3, 2007 when I went in for a routine ultra-sound and they couldn't find his heartbeat. He was still born on December 6th. We found out later that I had contracted Fifth Disease and passed it to the baby and he was not able to fight it off. This blog will be my story of that loss and my life since, and because I have faith, I know it will be a story of redemption.
