SO....we had a miscarriage. Bummer. Now that previous post is totally unbalanced...
This feels like such a public forum for (more) personal, sad news, but it's okay. Because we kind of figured we might have to do something like this if we decided to go ahead an announce it when we did. Acceptable risk, we decided. And this feels like a safe place to do it. If there's anyone that reads our blog that roots for our misfortunes and secretly cheers in our sad moments, we don't know about them. All we know are supportive and loving family members and friends. We feel just fine about sharing the happy and the sad with you because we know you'll be awesome about it. No pressure. Haha. ;)
We're okay! It's a little sad. But we're grateful that it didn't happen farther along. Our lives are pretty crazy at the moment, and we hadn't had the chance yet to really let it all sink in. I had just barely begun to think about possible names, when that's usually what I think about from day one. So we do feel a sense of loss. But it's not as acute as it could have been. For that we are grateful. It helps that we believe in a loving Heavenly Father who allows things to happen for reasons that we may not understand yet.
Thank you to everyone for your well-wishes and congratulations on the pregnancy! If you don't mind, we'll just save them up and read them all again when #3 does decide to make his or her appearance. Okay? Ha.
Lotsa love. Thanks for being awesome.

Lots of love from our family to yours Laura! You continue to amaze me with your positivity and your faith. Your husband and little babes are so blessed to have such an amazing leader in your home.
:(
You are a very strong woman and just as the first commenter said on here your husband and little babies are so blessed to have you. You have always amazed me with your spiritual strength and positive attitude. I'll spill the beans here first.... I have always been secretly jealous of those 2 traits you posses all the way back to our days in YSA together. ;) I love ya.
Dear Laura... I totally feel for you, and LOVE you tonnes! That is never fun to go through, so it's a good thing you're super amazing, and one tough cookie. On the bright side... if you wait a month or two... we can totally coordinate our future 3rd babies' birthdays. ;) ;) ;)
