Life's unexpected turns

I have been somewhat hesitant to post this but there is enough people that know the first half of the news...it just makes it easier to tell the rest this way.

A month ago, to my complete surprise, I discovered that I was pregnant.  I had my first doctor appointment on Monday and discovered that I was pregnant with twins approximately 9 weeks along.  Twins don't run in my family and I was both shocked and excited.  The ultra sound also revealed that I would more than likely miscarry.  I was scheduled to come back for another ultra sound in 9 days hoping to see growth.  Today I miscarried, even though my doctor prepared me to expect real labor pains, I was rather surprised by them.  I've been contracting  since 7am and still going.  However I think it's beginning to finish up which is a good thing.  Today has been full of a lot of emotion.  Knowing that they were twins really makes the loss feel greater.  The good thing, hard as it may be, I know that's it's all a part of God's plan and I take comfort in knowing that.  I"m also grateful beyond words for the three beautiful sweet boys that I have.

Wow Sarah....I had no idea. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now. To have something given and then taken away so quickly. It makes me realize even more what a blessing my children are. We really should never take these precious children for granted. I'll be keep you in my prayers. And I'll probably bring you treats, because that's what I do best!

People like you truly leave me in awe . . .openly honest and able to hold tight to such strong faith when many would only question. It feels dumb to say sorry but I will be thinking of you and your family and thank you for truly being a Christlike example.
