I remember coming to after the procedure, still in the operating room, I believe. Tears were welled up in my eyes before I was even fully awake or aware of what was going on. I managed to utter the words, "I want my baby, I want my baby, I want my baby..." Not long after, I realized what had just happened, the tears steadily flowed, and heartbreak set in. Ugghh....then to have to bear the unending conversations of the nurses just beyond the curtain of my "recovery room," as they talked about baby names and decor and the like, as one of them was pregnant and nearly due. What a dagger to the heart. <br /><br />I'm so thankful to have a God who heals, restores, and renews completely. He is my rock, my only hope, and my eternal salvation.Teskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881654854279466225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535770131112077031.post-418711127990947952010-09-23T16:53:29.416-05:002010-09-23T16:53:29.416-05:00girls! What a beautiful post and great first chap...girls! What a beautiful post and great first chapter of Becky's book. <br /><br />My heart also ached as I read Becky's experiences. It is hard to understand why one person has to endure so much, but I am grateful that through it all Becky has the assurance that God is good, God is faithful and God does heal. This echoes my own feelings as well.<br /><br />I especially related with Becky's third loss. I lost our baby at 11 weeks...and 2 weeks and 3 ultrasounds later they finally decided to do a d&c. Like Becky wrote, "...the procedure was so clinical. They put me to sleep and then woke me up. It was all over. I was empty, and I could go home." That day was so hard...the whole process so cold and numbing. <br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Anyway, I have written down some of my story, but not in a lot of detail. I would like to write more...and plan to do it soon. I think it would be very healing.<br /><br />LOVE and appreciate this book...and will share it with other women. Thank you, Becky! Thank you also, Teske, for this blog and your heart for Mommies with Hope.Rachel Beranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324124235452940506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535770131112077031.post-19887643164756418782010-09-23T08:34:59.280-05:002010-09-23T08:34:59.280-05:00Jamie and Teske- Thank you both for your kind word...Jamie and Teske- Thank you both for your kind words. I hope this book continues to be a blessing to all of you. These blog posts, and knowing you all are reading the book together in your hope meetings, is a gift to me. Teske, thank you for allowing me to be a part of all of this. <br /><br />Writing my story was hard to do, and still hard for me to read, but also so therapeutic and helpful. I'm glad you've recommended that other moms do the same thing. After reading your letter to Riyah, I think I would like to do that also at some point. Your letter to her was so beautiful and really touched me. <br /><br />I related to the part where you talked about seeing the little boy that would have been about her age. I do the same thing often. I like how you said, "Times like that hurt. I feel that way though because of my love for you." I've learned that loving can be painful but so worth the risk.<br /><br />I also loved reading about how your babies have had so much purpose already in God’s Kingdom. I feel the same way about mine. What an awesome testimony to be able to say that your husband gave his life to Jesus because of Chloe. <br /><br />I’m excited to be a part of this study with you this Fall! <br /><br />Love, <br />BeckyBecky Avellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111329550123400819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535770131112077031.post-86836716239497744212010-09-22T19:50:03.776-05:002010-09-22T19:50:03.776-05:00Thanks for sharing, Jamie.

It can be tough to do...I pray God would comfort you as you do. <br /><br />And I too am so thankful for Becky her story and her heart through this book!Teskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881654854279466225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535770131112077031.post-36025358008071941352010-09-22T14:50:27.861-05:002010-09-22T14:50:27.861-05:00As I read chapter 1 I too felt so sad that Becky h...As I read chapter 1 I too felt so sad that Becky had to endure such loss, but also I nodded in head in agreement to so many things she said- it was so ME in some of those situations or with some of those feelings. I am challenged to write my story down. I guess I was challenged after Thurs. night, when I thought I want to have it 'down' better, if that makes sense. Thank you, Teske, for sharing your letter with us and Becky, for allowing God to use your hurt in writing this book to help us who have been there.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700075162888413264noreply@blogger.com
