As many of you know, I was unexpectedly pregnant with baby number 3. We were not planning for it, but were excited that God had surprised us with this gift. I had a blog ready to post about God's plans not being my plans in which I announced that I was pregnant. I shared how everyone in our church picks a word each year to focus on (instead of a New year's Resolution) and my word for this year is "intentional". I had originally intended the word to be for me... I wanted to be intentional with my quite time, I wanted to be intentional about our finances... things that all revolved around me. I shared how through this unexpected pregnancy I had seen how God changed the definition of my one word and how his plans (even though they were not my plans) were intentional for me. Well somehow God's plans once again do not match up with mine.
When I went in on Monday for my 8 week ultrasound, we discovered that the baby was not developed. The outer "sac" was on schedule (measuring 8 weeks) but the baby had stopped developing at 6 weeks. I went back today to confirm these results and nothing has changed. I am scheduled to have a D&E tomorrow. I am not quite sure how to feel at this point.
I do not have a time for the procedure, I have to call tonight and they will (hopefully) let me know. So I am praying that I will be able to get this done early in the morning.
I have yet to learn what God is teaching me through all of this. I just pray that I will learn something through this and that is was not for nothing.
I thank you for all of you who have been there for me and will continue to be there for me during the duration of this healing process.
** My procedure will be tomorrow at 5:00 in the evening. It is not what I had hoped, but I will be able to eat in the morning and can have clear liquids until 1:00. I know that it is going to be a long day. I would appreciate any prayers that you could send our way.**

i never thought that something like this could happen to two people so close. and i know how bad it hurts emotionally. but you are so right, this is all in His plan. no matter how painful it feels right now, He knows that you are a strong woman that will get through this as an even stronger, more amazing person. keep your head up and know that you WILL get through. i just kept telling myself that He must think i'm pretty special if He knew i could handle it. the best part -- i can look back now and see why it happened. it changed my life in so many ways, and that's what He planned for me. and you will get there too. in the meantime, keep your head up, recognize that the hana and brooke are truly miracles, and look to Him for guidance in the sad times. i love you.
i'm so sorry tiffany. i'll definitely be lifting you up and asking God to reveal his plan in all of this. and i'll be asking him to reveal himself to you in his word. my love...xoxo
