Well today we had a memorial service for Corine. This was mostly at the suggestion of our pastors, it was good though! Our associate pastor did most of it, Steve said a few words, and we listened to Mercy Me's song "Homesick" and sang "It is well with my Soul" It was a good chance for closure. Our friends the Arther's were there, as well as a couple of women from my MOPS group. I wanted to read a poem I found here (on the PCOS sight), but I can't even get through it silently without tears.. I can't imagine what it would have been like out loud in front of people... I've posted it on my Facebook, maybe I'll post it in MySpace too and re-post it here:
HEAVEN'S NURSERY
By Rebekah Milne, Mildura, SA, Australia,
written after her own miscarriage.
In Heaven there must surely be
A special place, a nursery
Where 'little spirits' not fully grown
Go to live in their Heavenly home.
The angels must attend with love
Tiny spirits on wings of doves,
The choir of angels must sing lullabies
Maybe quieten their tiny cries.
The Father must come by each day
To cuddle and play in a special way
These tiny spirits left earth too soon
Little ones called Home from the womb.
These sparks of life did not perish
But came to the Father's love to cherish,
To grow and be taught in His own arms
Safely away from all earthly harm.
The comforter was sent to earth at once
To the parents who lost their little one
Their hearts so ache, t heir arms feel empty
The question 'why' seems so tempting.
Then all at once in the midst of tears
There comes a peace that stills the fears
The parents share the Father's own need
To hold their tiny spirit being.
They relinquish their own desperate hold
And release their baby to the Father's fold,
Then comes an angel to whisper the truth
Of a nursery in Heaven bearing rich fruit
Of tiny spirits chosen to worship the Father
A place that couldn't be filled by another,
Called to be spared from the struggles of earth,
Chosen to be one of Heaven's births.
So Father, whisper words of love from me
To our unborn 'life' in your nursery
As for the other items...
-My first two HCG #'s have come back. The 15th it was 373. The 22nd it was 111. I searched online (as I shouldn't have...) and with those two #'s the half life is four days.... at that rate I won't have a 'negative' number till mid Sept. BUT I don't have the # from this week yet.
-...though when I do get the # from the 29th, I think I need to ask about the bleeding which has picked up a bit in the last couple of days. *sigh* My body definitely does not need to work all week again. ... I digress
-Faith has started Head Start preschool. She just loves it! Megan on the other hand 'misses her sister' (for the first five minutes)
-My dad called today saying that he's coming out for Megan's birthday (end of Oct). It's always so awkward when he comes, I feel like we don't have enough activities for him to do and I fell like he gets bored.
