lost Hope...lost time

well, i do not have good news to report. once again, the results are negative. where do we turn?? i feel so much like Job right now. i feel like God is giving Satan every chance to try and break our Faith. Satan, bring it on. no matter what, we will stand strong in our Faith. we will try another IVF cycle. we will have a baby or babies. however, i am so ready for God to just say "told you so" to Satan, and let us move on.

so, i didn't feel like celebrating thanksgiving. i ate spaghetti for dinner and i stayed in my pj's all day. i cried all day. i cried for the son that was supposed to be here. i cried b/c i had to shop for a grave blanket. i cried b/c the Christmas tree will be at the cemetery.... i cried b/c i wanted to be thankful for everything i have, but i would give up so much if i could just have him back.

"in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

my daily devotional challenged me to just say "God I am thankful for....." something that we aren't happy about being thankful for. i cried all day, b/c i couldn't grasp saying it. i couldn't believe that something like this would come out of my mouth. but, i ended my day sitting with Braxton and i said.....

"God, i am thankful that bubby is in a better place."

as we face another day of disappointment....please don't give up on us....Pray...

i did see this today...and it is beyond words. please visit this site and leave a comment in honor of Braxton. isn't it beautiful....

God Bless,
One Sad Mommy

Destiny and Jesse,
I am so sorry that you had a bad day yesterday. I am sorry for the disappointing news you received. I pray that you feel a peace that only He can give to you.
I am praying for you both.
Hugs,
Amanda

I am so sorry. I know how horrible that is to get a negative result after a LONG time with IVF/ART. It is horrible to go through all of this and then be disappointed in the end. I think we who deal with this need to keep our faith and just believe it will happen sometime. I am just so sorry that you are dealing with both things at once! Just know you have someone in your corner!

I am sorry to hear of the negative news. I so wish that I had some words of wisdom for you, but every single time I went through fertility treatments and it didn't work... I knew that there was nothing that anyone could say or do that would comfort me. I just want you to know that I am keeping that faith for you and hoping that one day soon you will hold that little baby that you are longing for. I love seeing little Braxton's name in the sand...how sweet that is for your precious boy!! Here is to hoping that your next Thanksgiving will be the best one ever!! Hugs and prayers.

I'm sorry for the bad news. I am hoping and praying for your baby to come to you soon!
"But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it." Romans 8:25 This scripture was my lifeline during my struggle with infertility.
Praying and thinking of you!
