Some of you guys already know, but yesterday I went into the hospital and had a d & c, as a result of miscarrying our baby. Dan and I were both pretty devistated by the news, but are now doing a lot better. To be completely honest, I felt like I was miscarrying when I was 6 weeks along. We went into the doctor, had and ultrasound, and we saw the heart beating. Then we went in for our 8 week appt. and everything was going fine then as well. So, with 2 ultrasounds and being past 8 weeks, I felt it to be okay to share the happy news.
We felt like this pregnancy was so perfectly timed and planned out, it was exactly the spacing (almost to the month) that I wanted for Easton's little brother or sister. And I felt that the time of year was a good time to be pregnant (to enjoy all of the holiday treats).
I know that our Heavenly Father has an even bigger plan for our family, and we are now putting our trust in Him.
Thanks so much for all of the LoVe, HeLp and SuPpOrT that all of you have given us at this time.

I am so sorry to hear the bad news. I think we are so fortunate to belong to the church, and have the knowledge that we do. Situations like this are never easy but it does offer a little bit off relief to know that there is so much more still in store for your sweet baby. I know that you have so many prayers being offered in your behalf and I hope that your recovery goes smooth. Good Luck and much love.
I am so sorry to hear that. We hadn't heard. I hope that all continues to get better and that your family can heal.
Carrie, we were so sad to hear your news. Thanks for sharing your testimony of Heavenly Father's plan for your family. You are amazing.
This kind of stuff is never easy, but you are so strong and understanding that there is a bigger plan for your family! You are in our prayers and I hope that you feel better!
Our hearts go out to you. I sometimes think about what our family would be like if we hadn't lost pregnancy number 2, but then I realize we wouldn't have Savannah and how sad that would be. I know it's hard now, but in the long run these things work out for the best. Take care of yourself and get better soon!
Carrie, I'm so sorry. You are such a good sister and I love you! Thanks for letting us watch Easton yesterday, we had such a fun time with him. You're a good mommy!
You have an amazing attitude! We love you guys!
Dan & Carrie, We're so sorry to hear about this and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I know it must be hard, but you never know when you could help someone out with your testimony of the gospel and Heavenly Father's plan for each of us. We're thinking about you and know that everything will work out for you. You have such an amazing perspective and you're wonderful parents! -Brett & Linds
When I first read your blog I didn't know what to write. I wanted to write somthing that could help you. I cant. Because I have never been threw that but I cant tell you that you have such a good testimony about it. Hang in there, we will be praying for your family.
We love you guys so much. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Let us know if we can help out in any way.
I guess baby #2 is a tricky one because, like a lot of other women, I had almost the same exact thing happen to me - same timing, same hopeful spacing and plan for time of year and birthdate. I thought I was strong and could make it through with no problems but I came to realize it was one of the most difficult things I've been through. I wanted to hide most days but really found strength in so many women who had been through the same thing and of course in the priesthood and the gospel. There were not many things that anyone could say to make me feel better, but I did rely on other women's strength when I had so little of my own. I feel your pain and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. (ps -My sanity was exercise, prayer and me time. Take care of yourself!!)
Dan & Carrie--I'm so so so sorry but I'm glad you are doing a bit better. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now, but we will keep you in our prayers and hope for the best! I just look at that picture of Easton and think of what a cutie he is and can't help but think your other kids will be so cute too! Hang in there--I'm sure there's a lot more in store for you guys:)
p.s. we totally missed you at card group. Everyone was like, "where's Carrie???" I debated weather to tell or not but it was kinda inevitable with everyone was asking about you.
I was so sorry to hear your news. I can't imagine how rough this has been on you! I hope it helps even a tiny bit that you are in my thoughts and prayers. And it looks like many people are doing the same thing! Your family is very much loved!
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. You are a lot stronger than I think I would be in that situation. I would love to see you. I am having a Breaking Dawn party on Friday at my house. It's going to be tons of fun. Let me know if you want to come. All the details are on my blog.
Sorry to hear such sad news! I hope things are going better for you! What a hard thing to go through. But like you said you have to put your trust in the Lord because he really does have a bigger plan for you. I truly believe that with the struggles we have had in our lives. But prayers are coming your way. Let us know if you need anything?
