Remembering Baby Peace on Christmas Day-2nd anniversary

Remembering Baby Peace

On Christmas Day 2019 marked 2 years since we lost our precious little one. Ever since that day, Christmas has always been bitter sweet for me. Why? Because we lost a precious baby on such a joyous holiday. I'm thankful for the giver of life-God-and for Baby Peace. However, as I reflect on that sorrow filled day, my heart rejoices. Why? In a very hard time, God gave me the most amazing  peace. Precious peace that can only come from Him. I've had a lot of time to think and pray about the day we celebrate Jesus we also now get to celebrate Baby Peace. 

If I'm honest, I thought since we didn't even get a chance to celebrate or even remember on this day (because we were surrounded by so many people) that it would somehow be easier or less painful. However, that was not the case. I knew I needed to take time to stop and remember despite the pain. I needed to take time to remember this baby who God chose to give life to. I needed to stop and remember the sweet friends from all over the US who stopped to pray. I needed to remember the sweet messages and phone calls that came from sweet friends checking in on me. I needed to remember the messages, phone calls, and support that came from my amazing hubby. I needed to remember the beautiful flowers that were given. I needed to remember the amazing peace God gave during such a painful day. I needed to remember the strength that came from God. I needed to remember how through this heartache, God was there, He knows, He cares, He saw, He loves, and He will always understand. 

 I'm thankful that through that pain, I can sill rejoice. I'm thankful for these times of remembering. I'm thankful for the hard times that require growth afterwards. I'm thankful that God is writing my story. I'm thankful I'm able to share my story of our two precious babies with others and pray it is an encouragement. 

Taking a walk on Christmas Evening 
We all enjoyed a walk on Christmas evening. This picture was taken in front of the red light at a railroad crossing. The sky was beautiful with white fluffy clouds and the air was crisp as well as cold. A perfect combination for a walk. 



When we came home and went grocery shopping, Scott called out to me and asked which flowers I liked. Yes, they will die, but it was a way for me to remember and reflect on that day.

This picture is special to me for so many reasons. This was a few days after the miscarriage. Scott took me on a walk in our town square. I'm thankful for my husband who has been there through it all with me. I'm thankful for his love, encouragement, and strength. I'm very blessed to have you, Scotty! 



We love you, Baby Peace! It's hard to believe this is the 2nd year since we lost you! I can't wait for Heaven!

Our 2nd miscarriage

          Christmas 2017 will always be a day to remember.  That day was filled with so much sorrow and yet I received the best gift ever. What? How is that possible?  Grab a cup of coffee and let me share our story with y’all. Our Baby's precious name        When Scott and I knew that we were expecting, we had a wave of many different emotions. We experienced great happiness, joy, fear, worry, and the unknown future of this precious baby. I wanted to be prepared as we had experienced a miscarriage before. Read about our first miscarriage here if you haven’t already:     http://jenny-s-journey.blogspot.com/2015/05/miscarriage.html?m=1 .   I knew that God was the only one who could see the future life of this baby. God would know how many days or weeks the baby would grow, if the baby would make it full term, and if there would be  any compilations. I didn’t want to have to experience another miscarriage, this has been a fear of mine for a while. However,

Our 1st Miscarriage

The Story of our 1st miscarriage with Baby Nutter I am ready to share my story about having a miscarriage. They say there is healing in sharing.  What is every little girls dream? To grow up one day, get married, and have a baby. The day came when I got married, I couldn't wait to start a family! With much prayer Scott and I thought we were ready to start a family. We  had been trying for awhile and it didn't even seem hopeful. Every-time that   time of the month came around I would be sad that it didn't happen, time and time again. After what seemed like forever, I gave up on that dream of being a mom.  ~The day we found out our happy news~       I remember the day that we found out we were expecting. It was in the very beginning of December. I had finally talked my husband into letting me buy a test. He did not want me to be disappointed again. I was so nervous to even take the test even thought I was certain this time! I had waited long enough and the time

Blogmas Post #3 There are only 22 days left until  Christmas!  The question for you today is:  Do you have an ornament that's special to you personally or as a married couple?  I love decorating the tree each year, its one of my favorite things to do! I looked at all our ornaments to see which one was the most special to us, I found two of them!  The first one is this ornament. It was given to us as a wedding gift. I ordered a picture small enough to fit in it.  The second one is this ornament. It came from my most favorite store in the whole world!!!!! If you aren't from Michigan, you probably have no idea what store I am talking about. Michigan is known for many things, one of them being a Christmas town with the world's largest Christmas store! If you ever go to Michigan, I encourage you to go to the town of Frankenmuth! While there, go and visit Bronner's, it's the Worlds largest Christmas store! They have every ornament you could
