<br />
My due date was May 31 and the entire pregnancy I was told I would NEVER make it that far! Boy was everyone wrong! May 31 came and went and still NO BABY!! On Wednesday, June 1, I had an appointment with my OB. She checked my cervix and it was still Very high and Very closed! She scheduled me an ultrasound for that afternoon to make sure everything was okay and also went ahead and scheduled me for induction on Sunday night, June 5. I had the ultrasound done and everything looked GREAT! Still tons of fluid and the ultrasound tech said Lilah was measuring around 7 lbs. 4 oz. and wouldn't probably be any bigger than 7 lbs. something when she was born. Once again, boy were they wrong!<br />
<br />
At this point, I still had not had ONE single contraction or pain. So, Chip and I prepared for induction in 5 days, even though it was so not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to go into labor on my own, make that mad dash to the hospital and then have her a few hours later with no complications. That was my dream and I never thought it would come true! My mom was in labor for 48 hours + with both Hunter and me, so I just knew I was doomed for a long labor!<br />
<br />
The next few days passed by SO SLOWLY, but on Saturday, June 4, I finally started having a few contractions here and there. They started about 11 am that morning and I would have 1 about every 30 minutes or so. I still just knew that I was going to have to wait and get induced. Around 9pm that night, the contractions picked up immensely! At 10pm, they were about 6 mins apart lasting about 1 minute. I decided I wanted to take a shower and fix my hair! hah :) The contractions were getting so strong and close together I could barely dry my hair. By 11pm, they were coming every 4-5 minutes and lasting for about 90 seconds! We ended up leaving our house and heading to the hospital!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6qTFKBy2_h9nCT550dQnj43PHB3IM73ZxJuhoIToQgr30hrExooBjjzaz6tCyuY4m9UHmoGcso2WklQGarLYlth9RZqpyB0kP-fcUb_0QxwlJBjCx1MmjJCGiheh1JYbnHGz-D1ezKE/s1600/494.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6qTFKBy2_h9nCT550dQnj43PHB3IM73ZxJuhoIToQgr30hrExooBjjzaz6tCyuY4m9UHmoGcso2WklQGarLYlth9RZqpyB0kP-fcUb_0QxwlJBjCx1MmjJCGiheh1JYbnHGz-D1ezKE/s320/494.JPG" /></a></div><br />
We arrived at the hospital at midnight and were checked in and taken up to labor and delivery. They checked my cervix as soon as we arrived and I was 3 cm dialated. Even though I wasn't "technically" in active labor yet, they allowed me to stay, because I was supposed to be induced the following night. It's a very good thing they kept me! I told them I wanted the epidural as soon as possible. At 1 am on Sunday, June 5, they checked my cervix again right before I was given the epidural. I was 7cm dialated!! They checked me again at 1:30 am after I had received the epidural and I was completely dialated! So, in 1 hour 30 minutes, I dialated from 3 to 10 cm!!! No wonder those contractions were hurting so bad! <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
At this point, the epidural was working perfectly! (I mean PERFECTLY!!!) I literally did not feel one thing the entire delivery, which was Awesome! My water still had not broken. The nurse kept telling me that was the only thing that was keeping this baby in! They decided not to break my water just yet and to let the on call doctor sleep!!!! They finally called her around 4:30 and told her to get up there! At 5:50 am, the doctor broke my water and I started pushing! The nurses kept saying, she has tons of hair! Little did I know, she really had TONS OF HAIR!! :) At 6:14 am (Mine and Chip's anniversary is 6-14), on Sunday, June 5, Lilah Jo Roeder was born! She weighed 9 lbs. 2 oz. (yes! NOTHING near the 7 lbs. they said she was going to be!) and was 19.5 inches long!! She was absolutely PERFECT with jet black hair and blue eyes! Lilah Jo was born on June 5, her momma, Mallory Jo, was born on November 5 and her Lolli, Pamela Jo, was born on October 5! :)<br />

The labor and delivery could not have gone ANY better! I am so thankful to God for this precious new blessing and have been told by numerous people, NEXT TIME.. there is no taking a shower and fixing my hair! haha With only a 5 hour labor with my first child, everyone says with my next one to get straight to the hospital! We shall see... :)The Roeder Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11012709762352681578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585402762943922131.post-17299100989744473582011-03-14T17:24:00.000-07:002011-03-14T17:43:02.541-07:00Lilah at 29 weeks!So this morning, Chip and I went in for our 4-D ultrasound. Since this was an elective ultrasound, we had to pay for it. Let me just say, it was worth EVERY penny!! Technology is simply amazing these days. We spent an hour with the ultrasound tech and got over 50 pictures of our sweet girl and a video of the live ultrasound in 4-D!! We had heard mixed reviews on these ultrasounds beforehand (it ruins the surprise at birth, not worth the money, etc) but believe me, I am definitely a HUGE fan now! I will never have another pregnancy and not get this done.<br />
<br />
Lilah was again measuring about 1.5 weeks ahead and we were told she will most likely be a BIG baby! :) Her weight was estimated at 3.5 lbs! We were able to see HAIR, yes hair! My baby girl is not going to be bald! haha This was my biggest fear! She definitely has my nose, Chip's chin, and Chip's long fingers! This ultrasound just makes it SO much more exciting! I cannot contain myself and I am just so ready for our little girl to get here so I can kiss all over her chubby cheeks! :)<br />
<br />
Here is a slideshow of all of her ultrasound pictures today! I would LOVE to hear who you think she looks like! :) <br />

I will try to post the video of the live ultrasound in just a little bit! :)The Roeder Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11012709762352681578noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585402762943922131.post-9323372036075721612011-02-20T15:51:00.000-08:002011-02-20T15:51:43.329-08:00Our Dream Come TrueI know it has been a while since my last post, but saying we were busy in the last 3 months is such an understatement. I will say on the front end, this will be long... It's hard to catch family and friends up on over 3 months of our lives in one blog post! :)<br />
Since November, I endured my most hectic yet rewarding <a href="http://www.krazydaizy.com/">Krazy Daizy</a> winter season yet! It is such a blessing from God to be able to work from home and travel and do something I absolutely love, even if it was not what I went to school for 3 years of my life to be! God always knows what is best for us, no matter what our plans might be for ourselves and I am certain this job that he has blessed me with is going to be Perfect for when Lilah is here!<br />
In December, Chip and I made a trip to Austin, Texas for his work, a trip home to West Memphis for Christmas with his family and a week long trip to Montana with my family for Christmas. Every time I go to Montana, I am in awe of God's work here on Earth. You simply can not look at this picture and tell me there is no God. I mean really?!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12cmmqLmyM5HEJKUjGyAW4k8JecpsvRNg7uU_RMVUFGAlfcxAKSBGyRQKnu9wBEnskgxwnpUPjgdR1qkmTR5ZsLMJaOs1U1rnGGDQIhNJi2QXSEcArlJttLovkD0-a0XppYtwzaNm1DA/s1600/IMG_0924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg12cmmqLmyM5HEJKUjGyAW4k8JecpsvRNg7uU_RMVUFGAlfcxAKSBGyRQKnu9wBEnskgxwnpUPjgdR1qkmTR5ZsLMJaOs1U1rnGGDQIhNJi2QXSEcArlJttLovkD0-a0XppYtwzaNm1DA/s320/IMG_0924.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>In January, as soon as we got back into town from Montana, we headed on a 6 hour road trip there and 11 hour road trip back to New Orleans to go the Sugar Bowl. Although the game didn't exactly end as we had hoped, we had a blast sitting on the 3rd row, 50 yard line thanks to Jerry Franklin, who is by the way, the best player on the team! :)<br />
Now that February has rolled around, our lives have seemed to kick into high gear again! We received 23 inches, YES!! 23 inches in Arkansas, of SNOW to start the month off. And Chip and I chose to drive in it. A normal 5 hour road trip from West Memphis to Rogers took us Only 10 hours!!! It was crazy, but we had a blast together the entire time!<br />
As the end of February draws near and I am almost 26 weeks pregnant, I am just in complete shock of how short of time we have left as a family of 2! In just 14 short weeks, more or less, we will no longer be a family of 2 but a family of 3! It seems so crazy and so unreal still, even though my belly is growing to a size where there is definitely no denying there is a little one on the way (it's been that way for weeks, now! Who am I kidding?!) :) I am still feeling GREAT! I mean, I seriously cannot complain! My heart problems have lessened, which is amazing, and I still have tons of energy! The only problem I am having is with the weight gain. Yes, I know I'm pregnant and Yes I know I'm supposed to gain weight, BUT when you have been the exact same size, exact same weight since Junior High School it is definitely a very WEIRD experience to say the least. I have already gained 24 pounds in 25 weeks!!! And my doctor wants me to gain a total of 40-45 lbs in total! This will put me at a weight that you could have Never told me I would ever reach! I know she is so worth every pound already, but it terrifies me that I won't be able to get 45 lbs. off as quick as I want to!<br />
Okay.. Enough about me... More about Lilah, Our Dream Come True! :)<br />

The first frame I made for her room! :)<br />
Ever since finding out I was pregnant for the second time in 2 months, I have always called this child my miracle baby. She is such a blessing to us already and I just cannot wait for her to be here... Seriously! Bring on the crying, the diapers, the no sleep, the craziness! I am SO ready!!<br />
This past week, Chip, myself and my dad worked on painting Lilah's room. There are pictures of the full room on Facebook, but here are a few of some vinyl I just added to her room.<br />
My mom has always been great at writing poems, so she wrote one especially for Lilah. I fell in love with it so much, I knew it had to go in her room somewhere.<br />
Here is the poem:<br />
<br />
My child as I sit and watch you sleep<br />
And touch your precious face,<br />
I'm reminded of God's goodness,<br />
His mercy & His grace.<br />
<br />
I dream of everything you'll be<br />
And the plans God has for you.<br />
I pray that He will keep you close<br />
And guide everything you do!<br />
<br />
So sleep in peace, enjoy God's world.<br />
His love is precious and true.<br />
No matter what you do in life,<br />
It can't change my love for you!<br />
<br />
Here it is in her room!<br />

No we just need a sweet baby girl to make the room complete!<br />
Sorry this turned out so long, but I warned you, I had a lot to write about! :)<br />
I want to end with this poem my wrote to me on my first birthday! It is still my favorite ever and is to sweet not to mention on here. She truly has a gift!<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday Mallory,<br />
You're 1 year old today.<br />
I'm writing you this poem,<br />
As I sit and watch you play.<br />
<br />
Your dad and I had no idea<br />
How special you would be.<br />
We just hoped that you'd be healthy<br />
And I hoped you'd look like me!<br />
<br />
Well a year has past since you were born,<br />
And it makes me a little sad,<br />
But as much as I hate to admit it,<br />
You look just like your dad!<br />
<br />
God has given us many special gifts<br />
Since the day that we were married,<br />
But none were quite as special<br />
As the little girl I carried.<br />
<br />
I guess I am trying to tell you<br />
Is that no matter what you do,<br />
You will always be surrounded,<br />
By the love we have for you!<br />
<br />

We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time last week and it was an amazing sound. Baby R's heartbeat was really strong in the 150's. I go again for a check up on the 20th and then the date is set for my next ultrasound. January 3rd is the Big day! Hopefully, if baby cooperates, we should know whether Baby R is a He or a She! :) It cannot come soon enough!! I am so glad I have lots of things to do over Christmas Break to keep me occupied until then!<br />
This past weekend, Chip and I went to Austin, TX for a conference for Chip's work and his secretary came along. For fun, she begged me to take the DrainO test. I don't know if any of you have done this before, but I would Love to hear if it turned out true for you! This test is supposed to predict the gender. Well... after watching for a reaction, there was none, so DrainO says we are having a Girl!! We shall see in a month if it is correct or not! :)<br />
I have been feeling Great finally! I'm like a totally new person now! :) I am having some heart problems though. All through high school, I went to several different cardiologists because my heart would constantly skip beats and then just take off super fast. After seeing several cardiologists, they basically all told me I just had a "weird" heart. I was constantly monitored and no doctor could come up with an explanation. For the past few years, I have not had any problems... until I got pregnant.<br />
I know this is normal in pregnancy, but in my case it's been extra fast and constant. This weekend my heart raced for an hour and half straight. Chip kept checking my pulse the entire time and i was in the 100s. It happens several times a day, along with constant black outs, ringing in my ears and skipped beats. I will be meeting with a cardiologist in the next week to get checked out again. Please pray that this is not harming the baby. It is VERY annoying to me, so I can only imagine what it is doing to baby. I will keep everyone posted on what the cardiologist says.<br />
For those who have been wanting a new picture... Here is baby Roeder today at 15 weeks!! :) My belly is definitely growing and super hard. I don't know how it will stretch any more.<br />

I just feel beyond blessed right now! This morning Chip and I went in for my 10 week ultrasound and got to meet with my doctor. We got to see the most precious baby doing flips and waving at us! It was awesome! Baby R is already super active! Chip says he is in trouble when this baby gets here because he/she is already very active and pissed off like their mother. haha. It was so neat though to see our baby move and know that that is all taking place inside of me right now. I cannot wait until I can actually FEEL he/she moving inside of me! :) My doctor said the heartbeat was very strong and everything else looked great!! We go back again in 4 weeks! We are still so in awe of God and praising Him for this little blessing inside of me!<br />
Here is Baby R today at 9 weeks 6 days. He/She is finally starting to look more like a baby! I love it! :)<br />

Thank you for all of the continued prayers! We so appreciate them and you more than you will ever know!The Roeder Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11012709762352681578noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585402762943922131.post-44068777543995372752010-10-07T19:12:00.000-07:002010-10-07T19:22:18.923-07:00Our Family is GROWING!!!So.. I am sure most of you have heard by now, but last week Chip and I got a very Unexpected yet Very Exciting surprise!!! On Monday of last week, I found out I was pregnant AGAIN!! Keep in mind, I had a miscarriage only 5 weeks and 2 days before that! At our doctor's appointment concerning the miscarriage we were told Do Not Get Pregnant for at least 2-3 months, just so my body could heal and get back to normal. So we did what the doctor told us to do and tried to NOT get pregnant. Turns out... God had very different plans for us. Based on my due date now, we got pregnant only 4 days after miscarriage!! Here is a warning to kids and adults out there. If you don't want to get pregnant, keep in mind, protection is not always 100%!! So when I took that pregnancy test last Monday, I was Very Shocked, Excited and Scared all at the same time. I had so many different emotions and questions running through my head. After I told Chip the news, and heard his response of simply, "How?", I called my doctor and they got me in immediately for bloodwork and said they would call me the next day with the results. If any of you know me real well, Patience has never been a strong suit of mine. So, the wait was pure torture. Finally on Tuesday afternoon, the nurse calls and says, "I have exciting news for you. Your counts are over 4,000 so you are definitely pregnant!" At this time, I was sitting with Rachel at the mall eating a pretzel and I could Not believe what the nurse had just said. With the previous pregnancy my counts never got above 1,200 so I was definitely not expecting to hear 4,000!!!! The nurse scheduled an ultrasound for first thing the next morning and this is what we got to see....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeFV_yTi-auLK-pfnufDm2qWdsmJDHBj4GJYZYRLvVtponkdaL-rjv0DMtqyy6BeTAmrXC1r89Szl_PupJ0KpqlhB5EITCBdJHb-I1xNnCC9nZrqTioAXMwGxnz68RMlRUzcjWVuoZHC8/s1600/IMG_0786.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeFV_yTi-auLK-pfnufDm2qWdsmJDHBj4GJYZYRLvVtponkdaL-rjv0DMtqyy6BeTAmrXC1r89Szl_PupJ0KpqlhB5EITCBdJHb-I1xNnCC9nZrqTioAXMwGxnz68RMlRUzcjWVuoZHC8/s320/IMG_0786.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The ultrasound tech goes on to explain what that little "dot" is on the screen. I was so amazed and in awe. With the last pregnancy, I saw nothing but an empty black hole, so I cannot explain the feeling of seeing that little "dot". Come to find out, I was 5 weeks 1 day when this was taken. Because of my history, the doctor decided to have me come in one week later.<br />
Chip and I didn't tell our family about the last pregnancy until I was miscarrying and we were not about to go through that again. Our feelings about this whole situation was that the more people praying the better. So, we decided we had about 8 hours left to make up some cute frames to tell our family the Great News! I had to be home in Memphis for a show the very next day, so there was very little time to get these done! I think they turned out Awesome though! Here are a few pictures of some of the frames we made!<br />

My mom and dad were beyond thrilled to hear this news!!<br />

I made a few more but forgot to get pictures of them.<br />
We just had another ultrasound yesterday morning and got to see the most precious flicker (heartbeat) on the screen. Here is our sweet baby at 6 weeks 1 day! :)<br />

"For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord, "plans to Prosper you and Not to harm you. Plans to give you a Hope and a Future!" Jeremiah 29:11<br />
<br />
My due date has been constantly changing due to the fact I got pregnant immediately after miscarrying. As of right now, I am due May 31, 2011! (my due date was June 2 when I made the frames) Please continue to pray for both me and baby. It is still very early and I am so exhausted. I was put on modified bedrest this week, so it has been very hard. Hopefully, I will be able to make it through these first few weeks. It is such an amazing feeling seeing my belly grow (YES! It is already growing!!) and thinking about how that precious little flicker on that screen is beating in side of me right now. I am just so amazed and in awe of God!The Roeder Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11012709762352681578noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585402762943922131.post-79964600567471629482010-09-07T18:42:00.000-07:002010-09-07T18:42:47.135-07:00cheer squad...So as I was writing my last post about Chip's new job, I totally forgot to mention his new Internship. During this semester, Chip will be doing an Internship for his Masters in Sports Rehab. Weird huh? how he gets his Doctrine Before his Masters?? He actually starts his Internship Tomorrow at.... the UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS!!!! He is super excited about this! He will be working with the head athletic trainer for the Basketball and Baseball teams and the CHEER SQUAD!!! haha... We have had NUMEROUS talks about his role with the cheer squad. Let's just say I trust my husband a whole lot to let him work with all those pretty college cheerleaders. :) He will go 2-3 times a week and hopefully (fingers crossed) this will lead to a paying job with the university in the future.<br />
And... just an update. Chip officially has 3 Patients now! YAY!! So, keep those prayers coming for more patients!<br />

So he now requires everyone to call him Dr. Chip or Dr. Roeder. :) Just kidding. I still think it sounds so weird. It is definitely something we will have to get used to! This is a picture of us on Graduation Day! I am so so proud of him and cannot wait to see the great Doctor he will become.<br />
He has just started working at <a href="http://www.performtoyourmax.com/">Maximum Performance Chiropractic</a> here in Rogers. He has a great set up with an established doctor. Scott and his wife, Rachel, have been super helpful since we've moved here and I am just so excited about this partnership they are embarking on.<br />
Right now, Chip has no patients. So if you're in NWA, come see him! :) He's about to start marketing to get his name out there and get established with insurance companies, so hopefully the patients will follow soon. In the next week or so, I will be putting my <a href="http://www.krazydaizy.com/">Krazy Daizy</a> touch all over their office with vinyl, so I will definitely post some pictures when we get it all done.<br />
My parents just got into town for the weekend, so I am off to dinner with them! I hope everyone has an awesome, relaxing Labor Day weekend and GO HOGS!!!!<br />

I feel like we have just now been able to slow down after almost 2 months of chaos. I wanted to start this blog because I just really wanted to share what's been going on in my life. This is probably going to be a LONG first post! :)</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Some may know this, but most will not. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">On August 1, Chip and I had just flown back into town from our vacation in Montana when I took a pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant! I was ecstatic! (I took 7 different tests just to make sure.. :) We weren't really "trying" but we definitely weren't preventing it either. And.. if you know me any at all, you know that this has always been my dream. My dream job is to be a mom! So to say I was excited when that test came back positive was definitely an understatement. So as the week went on, I called my doctor in St. Louis and scheduled an appointment. They wanted me to come in when I was almost 8 weeks, so I had to wait another 2 weeks, which was pure TORTURE!! Chip and I were both super excited and were dying to tell our family and friends, but we decided to wait until after the doctor appointment. Chip was graduating 4 days after my appointment so we thought that would be the perfect time to tell everyone. All of our family and close friends would be there and I decided I was going to make these super cute Krazy Daizy frames for everyone announcing the good news. Those two weeks I was feeling great! A little tired, but that's nothing new... When my appointment finally came, Chip couldn't end up going with me because of school, so I was on my own. When I got there, I was so excited, nervous, anxious.. I really had no idea what to expect. When the doctor came in to do the ultrasound, I couldn't wait to see that little baby. So when the doctor looked at me and said, "I can't seem to find the baby" I pretty much freaked. I was so upset, shocked, you name it. But I tried my best to hold it together. I was by myself and didn't want to totally freak these people out. So, the doctor explains to me that this could mean several things... 1) I might not be as far along as I thought (She could see a sac about the size you would see at 5 weeks) or 2) It might not be a "normal" pregnancy. So the doctor scheduled me for blood work that afternoon and then 2 days after that. They wanted to check my HcG levels to see if they were doubling every 48 hours which would mean I probably just wasn't as far along as I thought. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Just keep in mind, the whole time this is going on, Chip and I are trying to pack to move back to Arkansas and everyone is coming in to town in 2 days for his graduation!!! So now I was not only stressed from the packing and moving but now I had to worry about my baby for 2 more days until I got the results back.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">On Thursday, my doctor called me to give me the results. When she said, "I'm afraid I have bad news," I just started bawling! Long story short, she told me I would probably start miscarrying in 2-3 days. Chip graduated in 2 days!!! </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">I called my mom almost immediately (who had no idea I was even pregnant) and of course her and my dad insisted on coming to St. Louis a day early. Like I said earlier, if you know me I have always dreamed of being a mom ( I would've started trying on our wedding night if Chip would have let me!). Well, my mom has wanted to become a grandmother so bad! Ever since Chip and I got engaged, that's all we heard from her. haha "When are you going to have me some grandkids?" So to tell my mom that I was going to miscarry broke my heart even more. I'm not going to lie, she was definitely devastated. But she was also SO encouraging. My mom had two miscarriages between my brother and I, so it was very reassuring to hear her stories.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Moving on..So as graduation week continued and graduation arrived, so did the pain. On a day that is supposed to be one of the most exciting days for my husband, he was having to watch his wife go through a miscarriage both mentally and physically. And some of you are probably thinking.. it's a miscarriage. Tons of people have them. No big deal...</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">I used to think that too.. But it definitely IS a big deal. It is devastating to have something and someone you have dreamed about your entire life, taken away so quickly. I honestly have never been in so much pain physically or emotionally before in my life. You really just don't understand until it has happened to you. I sure didn't. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Things are better now. Although Chip and I were both devastated, we have found peace in knowing that God still has amazing plans ahead for us. My mom's favorite verse has always been Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and NOT to harm you. Plans to give you Hope and a Future." That verse and Casting Crowns': I Will Praise You in this Storm have been constant reminders that God has not forgotten about us and that there are things more beautiful and more amazing than we can ever imagine in store for us.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">I guess with all of this said, I just ask for your prayers that I will get back to full health soon (my HcG levels still aren't back to 0, so more weekly blood work ahead). Chip has been amazing through this whole process and I have been thanking God everyday for bringing him to me! </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">I really wanted to talk about Chip's new job, but that will have to be a different post, because this turned out WAY TOO LONG! :) </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
