Life is full of blessings, some immediate and others delayed. This last week I miscarried and have really counted my blessings. It's a miracle to get pregnant, have a healthy pregnancy and then give birth to a beautiful and healthy child. A miracle. Really. I have two beautiful blessings in my life, Alexandra and Samantha. I have mixed emotions over this and I am doing okay, truly. It was so exciting to get pregnant - even though unexpected and we started thinking about life being chaotic with babies 14 1/2 months apart and hoping for a baby boy or of course another lovely daughter. I can say though.....that I am grateful I will still have my sanity next year. My organs can continue to move back in place since Samantha and also my waist line! I know we will have more children in the future and that the Lord is looking out for us, my faith runs deep. I never even thought that something like this could happen to me. It just goes to show that what will be, will be. Thank you my dear friends and family for your love and concern, we are doing well.
xoxo

LOVE YOU!
You are so sweet and beautiful even in times of trial. I know everything will be okay, because the whole time I've known you, you have been so positive about anything that comes in life. Thanks for such an honest post Mel, the example you are to the rest of us is an amazing one.
I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you. How lucky to have two beautiful girls! Take care.
What a good time of year to be thankful. Sometimes we all just need to slow down and look around us at how blessed we are! I hope you're doing OK. :)
Oh Mel, I'm so sorry...it's no fun - let me know if you ever want to talk! I'm thinking of you guys!
I'm so impressed with your attitude. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. You'll be in our thoughts.
Mel the Belle,
Big hugs to you! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I lived in SLC, I would bring you a yummy meal. Your family is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you will hug your babies a little tighter now.
Love,
Lisa
I'm so sorry to hear of your miscarriage, Mel. What a wonderful attitude you have. Such a great reminder to count all of our many blessings. Love ya!
Melanie, I am so sorry for your loss. Those obviously are no fun at all to go through, but your attitude about it is amazing, and it is true, you have so many blessings in your life! Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us and as you know does not give us trials that we cannot handle. You guys are strong! We will keep you all in our prayers and I hope that you have a quick recovery. :)
I love you Mel!
You are? That's fun! You'll have to tell her you know us...I told her that my friend works with Connie and did it last year. Isnt this Connie's last year? You should do it from now on for her!
Melanie, I am so sorry! I am not sure that I can say anything to help, but just that I am sorry. I think no matter what amazing blessings we have been given, we can still feel sad and hurt when something gets taken away. Again, I am so sorry and I will be thinking about you!!
p.s. I would love to come share a big bowl of ice cream and an ice cold diet coke with you!! You deserve it!
Hey, Chad noticed that you and him have a friend in common! (Wynter Abby Johnson)...isn't that crazy!? You will have to get some info from her for me!
Sorry Mel. I can't not imagine how hard it would be. Like you mentioned the Lord knows whats' best and everything happens for a reason. I hope that you're feeling fine.
Oh friend. I am thinking of you. Can't wait to finally meet your Sam at Thanksgiving. Love you tons!
Mel I can't believe how big your girls are. I haven't even met samantha yet. our bodies have this awesome way of making sure our kiddos are just perfect or it just starts over. hope you're happy and well.
oh Mel...You are right and have a good perspective on this. All is well. Hope you truly are doing well!
Oh my dear friend! I am so sorry, please know you are in our prayers. Love you!
Mel: I am so sorry! I didn't read your blog until today. You are such a strong woman!
Mel and Chris--so sorry to hear your sad news. We are thinking of your little family.
