Well, it just doesn't seem like another child is in Sarah's & my biological future. We found out early last week that Sarah was pregnant. Woohoo, another wonderful Elise possibly in our future! Having lost 3 out of 4 however, we were apprehensive. However, the doc gave us hope by finding a protein mutation Sarah had and giving us medication to offset it...
So Wednesday of that week was prayer night at church (every 1st Sunday of the month) and at the end of the service, Sarah & I went up and prayed. We prayed for the unborn baby and that God would be gracious and grant us another child. The cool thing about prayer is that God heals you as you pray. Well, through the prayer, we gave the baby and the whole situation to God. We prayed, we cried and we hugged and then eventually left the front of the sanctuary with a peace that only God can give a person. That was Wednesday.
On Thursday, one day later, Sarah's period came. It didn't really hit immediately, but it hit in small chunks for the next couple of days, making me irritable and short with people.
So where do we go from here? We've been thinking adoption for a while, but now its probably something we'll definitely look more into. Sarah wants a newborn, but I'm open to just about whatever (preferably a boy though!). We don't know. We really want another child, but perhaps it won't happen the way we planned it.
Sad, not fun.

I am so sorry to read this post. I'm very glad though you have peace and comfort from God. I wish you all the luck possible as you both decide which path to take from here. I know you both will be great for whatever child comes into your lives.
