"I'm sorry, there is no heartbeat."

"I'm sorry, there is no heartbeat."   Five years ago today, on February 5th, I was told, "I'm sorry there is no heartbeat." Those four words are some of the hardest words to ever hear. If you've ever been told those words, I'm so sorry, my heart breaks with you. Maybe you were told that today, this very week, last month, last year, or even years before that. I want you to know that you are not alone and you are loved! Your baby was loved and wanted! It's okay to grieve and it's okay to remember special dates. It's okay to take time and thank God for the gift He gave you no matter the number of weeks or how long ago it was. It's okay to share with others. Your baby was created by God and it's worth celebrating over!  I was told those hard words. It's something I'll never forget. Here is part 1 of our 1st story: This was our first pregnancy and we were so excited! I still remember when I first found

Remembering Baby Peace on Christmas Day-2nd anniversary

-
Image
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

Happy 4th Birthday, Baby Nutter!

Happy 4th Birthday, Baby Nutter!  August 20th is a very special date here in the Nutter house. Our sweet little baby was supposed to be born on August 20th. Every year we do something special to celebrate and remember the short little time that God had allowed us to have with this little one. This year Baby Nutter would have been 4 years old! Grab a cup of coffee and join me on a walk down memory lane!  Happy 4th Birthday, Sweet Baby!  Each year we make the time to stop and remember our little one. Why? Because our baby was a little miracle and something that only God could create! We longed and prayed for this little baby! Our hearts and lives were filled with so much joy, hope, and even anxiousness for this little one. I remember how much excitement had consumed my heart when I saw those two blue lines. I also remember hearing those very hard words, "I'm sorry, your baby has no heartbeat." Every life is worth celebrating and even though our baby isn'

Couples Without Children

Couples Without Children               As Mother's Day is fast approaching, I've been praying about what to share on my blog. Today I'm going to share about the couple without children. We all know a couple that fits this category.               Scott and I recently had the opportunity to attend a marriage retreat. As we met many different couples there was one common question that was asked OVER and OVER again. That question was this: How many kids do y'all have? If we said none, they would ask, "Why not? Are y'all thinking about kids? or When are y'all going to have kids? or "How long have y'all been married?" I realize they were complete strangers and just trying to make conversation. After answering numerous times, no we don't have any children, I decided to share that we had 2 miscarriages to the next person that asked. Why? I want to bring awarenesses. There are many reasons why a couple might not have children. The

Remembering Baby Peace

Remembering Baby Peace  One year ago today, on Christmas, we lost our precious little one-Baby Peace. As I sit here in the quiet living room drinking my cup of hot coffee, with my light coming from the Christmas tree, I'm reflecting and remembering. I remember many answered prayers during that time. God gave us a baby, but then heartbreak as we lost that baby. Being scared that I had to do this alone (hubby was at work) and I had no one, so I prayed, and God heard the pleas and cries of my heart. I believe in praying specifically, so I started praying specifically for peace. Some friends also sent some messages that they too were praying. God answered me and gave me the most amazing peace ever!  "Fear thou not: for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee: yeah, I will help thee: yeah, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my  righteousness. " Isaiah 41:10 To read our 2nd  miscarriage-click on this link: My 2nd Mis
