Bed Rest

Over the weekend I was put on bed rest.  So, what is a girl to do while on bed rest?  This of course!

Birds of a Feather Saturday SAL
Did I catch up to you Maggee?
Why was I on bed rest?  Because on Friday I unexpectedly found out that I was pregnant.  You should have seen all of the people in my room.  No one could believe it!  Especially since I had just experienced the time of the month where I become "an unpleasant person to live with" (if you know what I mean).  Unfortunately my progesterone level was extremely low and even though they tried to boost it with meds, it was too little too late.  Yesterday the doctor's office confirmed that I ended up losing Baby #3 over the weekend.

I'm fine.....we are fine......our faith hasn't waiverd with this loss.  In fact I think it is stronger than it has been in a long time.

Thankfully this new doctor and his staff are the most wonderful, caring people.  They will be able to get me back on track and figure out what is going on so that they can help me carry a healthy little one to term.

In the meantime, I was thinking that maybe I would skip the alphabet on this one and save the space to make it either an inspirational sampler or save it for a baby sampler.  What do you think?

Stitching with angels,

I think we are neck in neck, in a different arrangement (mine is all down the side and across the top)I haven't thought of doing something other than the alphabet--good idea! TALK to you later... Hugs!

I am so sad for you and your family. I know the heartbreak of losing an unexpected blessing all too well. HUGS to you during this time.

Your stitching is fantastic!

You make it hard to express sadness for you when your spirit and strength and courage are so strong. Because you are in a good place spiritually, why not honor that on the sampler?
hugs and prayers, babs

I saw that title and my heart skipped a beat...I figured you'd be stitching for months...next time! In my thoughts for success this next attempt. You've made a great start on the Mystery Sampler - I have mine done, just not framed yet. Good idea on the alphabet. Take care - relax! Sherry :0)
