Last Wednesday John and I found out we were expecting a baby. We were thrilled. This was a tried-for and wanted baby. One week later I started spotting and sometime between yesterday and this morning I lost the pregnancy. I feel I need to do some sort of tribute to our child. Even though he was very tiny, and unformed, he was wanted and loved. We know that he was personally formed in my womb by our Father in Heaven. We know that he was not a mistake. And we trust and rest in God's authority, soverignty, goodness and love.
My darling little baby, we look forward to the day when we can meet you in heaven. I know that Jesus will hold you for us until we can hold you ourselves. We loved you and wanted you very much and will continue to do so until we join you.
This song is for all the brave Mamas and Dadas that have lost little unborn babies. Little tiny lives that they never got to meet. For Nick and Alisha, for Amanda, for Barbara, for Nancy, for Rachel, for Rebecca, for Elizabeth and for Farrah and all the many others out there. I know that we all wait for that day when we can hold our babies for the first time.
Glory Baby
By: Watermark
Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you…
Until we’re home with you…
Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there’s a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You’ll kiss our tears away
When we’re home to stay
Can’t wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
‘till mom and dad can hold you…
You’ll just have heaven before we do
You’ll just have heaven before we do
Sweet little babies, it’s hard to
understand it ‘cause we’re hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we’re stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…
BRIDGE:
I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it’s all you’ll ever know…all you’ll ever know…

Oh April! I am so sorry for this loss!
Oh April...I'm so sorry, I had no idea! Please know that my prayers are with you.
I am so sorry. I will be thinking about, and praying for, you and John.
I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. Hugs and prayers...
I'm very sorry you lost the baby. I knew you were pregnant when I saw you on Memorial Day and I wish the pregnancy had come to term and you had your new little baby instead of the miscarriage. I'm also sorry I found out so late. Please forgive me. For the past week I've been dealing with an unpaid item dispute on ebay and I have completely avoided the computer until today. I wish I could give you a hug. Love you.
April, I had no idea. I am SO SORRY to hear this. Miscarriage is so tragic and personal and complex. I hope to someday meet your little one in Heaven (as I'm sure you do, too). Thanks for letting us know. Thinking of you and praying for you all.
