Our Second Ultrasound

Here is the email I sent out:

Hi Everyone,
First off, we love you guys. You have all been such huge encouragements to us this week.
Again, a recap for those of you who may be added to this email but weren't on the first.Jeff and I went in last Tuesday for our 10 week appt, at which they performed an ultrasound and discovered that the baby was only 6 weeks along developmentally. Our doctor scheduled a second ultrasound for today to check and see if the baby would grow to seven weeks because he was concerned about the time discrepancy.
Unfortunately, the baby not only didn’t grow, the heartbeat we saw last week had stopped and there was no blood flow to the baby. So, some time this past week our baby went to be with Jesus in heaven. We really do believe that life starts at conception, and that the second our baby died that it went straight into paradise, where we will get to meet him or her one day.
Obviously we are really sad because we love our baby a lot, but we also know that God knew the best thing for us and we trust that. Both of us being so logical is helping us a lot. We know that this happens to a lot of couples and that it is usually because there was something wrong with the development. I’d rather our baby be with God than to struggle with major developmental issues here on earth. We have been praying all week that God would be with us no matter what happened, that we’d be strong and our marriage would deepen no matter what, and that we’d be able to totally trust God. We don’t feel any anger at all, and are both going to be ok.
The sucky thing is that we live in a broken world where bad things happen ALL the time. And like Job says, “Will we accept good things from the Lord and not bad?” (2:10) God is God no matter what happens to us down here, and He is good. We trust that God will use this situation to help make us more like Him so that we can bring Him glory while we are on earth.
Please keep praying for us because it is going to be hard for a while. We have really felt all your prayers already and have been comforted so much though this. We are glad we have friends and family like you all to help us through this crazy journey that is life.
Much love to you all…
Lainey and Jeffrey :)
