My friend, Heidi, had a baby boy, Ayden, on November 7th. Amazingly, though I still wished that I was either still pregnant with my angel or pregnant again, I was totally happy for her and very excited about her having a 3rd child. This was not a planned baby, but still very exciting as she is in her late 30s and her two other kids, a son & daughter, are almost 13 and 10. Actually, this would be her 4th child as she had a miscarriage with her first pregnancy. So, now the fun part. Tomorrow I will see her newborn for the first time. I heard him last night as I was talking to her on the phone since she was holding him. How I wish I could have a newborn.
So, your prayers would be appreciated for tomorrow. It's still tough to see newborns.

It is tough after a loss to see a newborn and to not feel sad, angry, and upset. I struggled with this at first too. I miscarried in May and my friend had her first baby at the beginning of June. I think he was about a month or so old before I went to see him....and I didn't really want to hold him, but my mom was there and she forced him on me. As I held him, I realized how precious and what a miracle each baby is....that there is so much more to bringing a new life into the world than we realize.
What you are about to do tomorrow is a big step for you...but it's an important one. I pray that you will make it through emotionally in tact.

Thank you. Actually I have seen newborns since my miscarriage in May...but not of close friends. Just mostly in public.
I have a cold so I probably won't be able to hold him...but in a way I really want this cold to be gone so I can hold him. I mean, he is the son of a really good friend of mine and I probably won't be able to see him again for a few months since we live a couple hours away.

Actually, it went very well. Yes, it was a big step for me, but he was just so precious & adorable. I did get to hold him and he even fell asleep in my arms.  I'm so happy that I got to see him and that I got to hold him!  Krista ><> |

I'm so happy everything went well. Sometimes we think something will be tougher than it will. And other times we are completely taken off guard by something we thought wouldn't. I'm glad you had a good time.
