Peace of Mind

I have meet some amazing women over that past 8 months, unfortunately we met because we all belong to the same club, a club no one wants to be apart of, the "I lost a baby" club. I admire and look up to all these women. Their strength, faith, and friendship have helped me get through this hard time in my life. Its been great to have someone to talk to that understands. I have meet Natalie and Amy and I love them and my heart aches for what we've all been through, I am sad we had to meet the way we did but I am grateful for them.

Today I want to talk about Natalie and Amy. Above is a picture of Rob and Natalie and their sweet baby boy Branson. You can read of their story here. Natalie and Rob tried for over 5 years to get pregnant and finally they were blessed with baby Branson, however the day before he was due to be delivered via c-section there was no heartbeat. As much as Natalie and Rob have struggled they have also endured through this hard time and just this year were blessed to find out they will be parents once more, this time to a little girl.

As excited as they were to be having another baby, its also terrifying to think what happened could happen again. But there is something that can be done to insure their peace of mind. There are specialists who take care of parents who have been through similar experiences in losing babies invitro due to cord accidents, but you can imagine the cost that comes along with the machines and Dr's visits. So Amy, click here to read about her and her sweet baby Alexis, started a website/blog to help raise money for Rob, Natalie, and their new baby girl who will be born this fall. Isn't she amazing and so selfless? To read more on how you can help please click here. Amy also set up a giveaway so that you can support the family in donating money but you can also win prizes in the process. One of my Sweet Ruby blankets is even part of the giveaway, click here to go to the giveaway. So please show your love and support and help a family who deserves to raise a baby on this earth. Please help them have Peace of Mind.

Harrison Samuel Maw

Harrison's story: Harrison was our surprise baby, I clung to the fact that because he was a surprise that Heavenly Father would not take him from us. But from the beginning I had complications. I bled heavily throughout the entire pregnancy, I had a subchorionic Hemmatoma. Harrison was a trooper the whole time, always measuring ahead of schedule. I was told due to the bleeding and a large blood clot that I would deliver early, little did we know how early. I was hospitalized at 20 weeks and was becoming weaker everyday. I was told that if I could hang on for a few more weeks Harrison's chance of surviving would double. One night due to a hemmorrhage I lost so much blood that my body finally gave up and went into labor. There was nothing more they could do, my placenta had ruptured and I had an infection. Our baby would be born and there would be nothing they could do. Our beautiful, healthy baby boy was born October 28, 2008 at 20 wks and 4 days weighing 13.2 oz and was 10 inches long. Harrison was alive and well until the last few minutes before he was born, the labor was too much for his little body to handle. We are grateful everyday for the hours we were able to hold him, kiss him, and love him. He was so perfect in every way and needed to come to this earth to gain a body and then return to our Heavenly Father for more important work. We love him dearly and know our little angel is in heaven watching over us and waiting patiently for us all to be together again. We know Families can be together Forever and that one day we'll get the opportunity to raise him. We love you and miss you Harrison.

Some people only dream of angels...We held one in our arms.

Harry's Song (written by his Father) Although I grive and wipe the tears from my sleeve, you've changed our lives forever,in just a few short weeks. My son the one, that I didn't get to know, yet I feel so much love,between us flow. We caught a glimpse,of a spirit so strong, as you fought and triumphed,for so very long. Now I have the feeling,that we knew you before, and when the time comes,we'll see you once more. So this life will be,but a brief delay, while we gain the assurance,to reunite some day. Even though I may grieve,and wipe the tears with my sleeve, you've changed our lives forever,and brought our family closer together.
