Thanks to all of you who lit candles yesterday in honor of our son, Andrew, as well as the other babies who are deeply missed. As a mother without her child here, it means the world that they are remembered. We appreciate the continued prayers and support.
I don’t have anything major to share tonight, but I did want to post some of my favorite pictures of our little guy. I was looking through them again tonight and was struck with emotion. He’s simply beautiful. I know all parents say that about their children and we’re no different.
I was thanking the Lord earlier today for the wonderful time I had carrying Andrew. I vividly remember soaking in the bath tub the morning before our doctor’s appointment when we got the terrible news. I was praying for the upcoming labor delivery and just thanking the Lord for blessing me with Andrew. I distinctly remember telling God how grateful I was for the nine months I had to get to know my little boy. I had no clue at that time that Andrew was probably already in heaven.
For any pregnant moms out there reading this, please treasure every second of your pregnancy. I know the heartburn, constant urination, hemorrhoids, and stretch marks may not be fun, but they are truly a gift. Soak up every kick and squirm, enjoy that closeness (even if it means you’re constantly out of breath), and be grateful. I’m stepping off my soap box now, I promise! 🙂
You are right Sarah, he is simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing your sweet boy- and I agree, so nice to have our angels remembered!!
