Praying for Friend

It seems pregnancy is in the air these days. Right now I know about 15 girls that are pregnant and are due to have their babies by the end of the year. Two experienced some hardships this week resulting in one who miscarried. My heart just absolutely breaks for these women! As someone who has experienced a threatend miscarriages with both of my babies, I know what it feels like to think you most likely will loose your baby. It really makes me appreciate even more the blessing of miracles that God has performed in my life. Of course I don't know first hand what it feels like to actually loose a baby, I do know what it feels like to be told you most likely will loose your baby.
I thank God everyday for the miracle of saving both our babies. Maddy's situation was not as serious as our last situation, but it still involved a hospital stay and a close look at me throughout the pregnancy. Ever since our "miracle ultrasound" four weeks ago, we have had no problems and I praise God every chance I get for it! We go to the Dr. Wednesday and then will find out the sex in two weeks. There was a time where I never thought we would get to this point, but here we are!
There are so many situations lately that I have heard of since I have been pregnant of women miscarrying, and based on what I was feeling during everything, it is one of the most painful things a women can ever go through. I've heard of two situations recently of friends both experiencing their 5th miscarriage this year. Another friend of a friend had her baby at 24weeks and will be in the NICU until at least October. Please pray for these women with me. I think seeing Madeline in the NICU really gave me such an increased heart for parents who go through this sort of thing. She was only there 3 days, but it was 3days of complete hell! We couldn't see her when we wanted to, she was hooked to so many tubes and I could only hold her to feed her. Once again, though God did a miraculous healing and she was able to come home after 3 days instead of longer, which was what they expected. God is so good! Even through the darkest times he is there. He never leaves us!
There is an Eric Clapton song: "Tears in Heaven" and I kept thinking of it when I was going through so much with this pregnancy. There is a line that goes, "would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven". I just picture when we die, going to heaven, and seeing your miscarried baby run towars you and cry "Mommy..I've been waiting for you"! God has given us such hope and peace and comfort and all we have to do is grasp hold of it! So, thankyou Lord AGAIN for being the giver of life and allowing us to share in the miracle of our healthy baby, and please continue to show your peace to these women who need You now more than ever!
