Saying Goodbye

Josh and I were so happy to welcome a little baby into our family this July.  We were two very anxious first time parents busily getting things ready, when we were hit with something we were not expecting.  About a week ago we got some troublesome, but hopeful news from our doctor that I may have to be on bed rest the last 2 months of my pregnancy.  I was not alarmed because it was not something that was going to harm our child, just make me uncomfortable for 2 months.  Later on in the week I was at work and had an alarming episode that prompted me to go to the ER.  The doctors there told me that everything was fine my baby was healthy and that I was to see my doc the next morning.  The next day I walk into my doctor’s office and get some sad news.  Our baby was having a hard time.  Things were not working out, but she was still hopeful.  With hope Josh and I returned home with strict rules to take it easy.  About 2 horrible hours later we were back in the hospital where we said goodbye to our little baby.  I know everything happens for a reason.  Josh and I are going to be great parents someday.  We just need to keep faith in our Heavenly Father and know that everything will be ok in the end.
