I write this post with a heavy heart. The ultrasound preformed today showed no heartbeat and a baby that measured somewhere around 6 or 7 weeks. I would be 10 weeks pregnant this Sunday. I will stop taking the progesterone today to allow my body to naturally do what it should. As long as I don’t get a fever, there is no real need for surgery. There are no medical explanations as to why this happened. My OB said that he simply cannot compete with the Lord. As he walked into the room he said, pointing at Sofia and Charlotte, “Let us praise the Lord for these precious souls in the room”.
We have decided to name this baby “Hope”, because our hope is in the Lord, and our little sweet baby is with the Lord.
I am in need of much grace through this loss. Grieving is always a weird process for me, but this being our 5th miscarriage (2nd one in 5 months), I am battling different emotions than I have in the past. As my family grieves, we thank you all for ALL the prayers, encouragement and support you, my beloved readers have given us through the years; in our highs and lows.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I pray that God gives you grace and strength in your time of sorrow. Our comfort lies in knowing that God is Sovereign and that He cares about each and every one of His chosen.
My dear sister just went through this loss 2 weeks ago. Here is a poem she found and put on her blog, in memory.

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." -Psalm 46:1
I will keep you in my prayers. God is faithful.

Crystal, know that my heart is saddened with yours though I can't possibly pretend to say I know what you are going through. I will be praying for you and your family during this time. May you feel nearer to our Lord than ever before and rest in His hands. My His grace and mercy be upon you as you rest in the arms of our Saviour.
By His grace,
