It's been so long since I (Jaimee) posted, partly because I wasn't sure what to say about this... Most of you already know that we lost our baby to a miscarriage near the end of March. It's been kind of rough, but we've also been blessed in many ways. I'd like to share 10 of the thoughts or actions that have blessed me and helped me heal:
1. getting cards from people we didn't expect
2. being allowed to grieve
3. realizing that Lamentations 3:22-33 is true
4. writing in a memory album for our baby
5. reading a tiny book called Born to Fly
6. realizing that I'm not in control
7. painting a piece of pottery in memory our baby
8. realizing that our child is with Jesus!
9. getting a phone call from a friend when I was feeling lonely
10. having some really great couple time
We also received many delicious meals, thoughtful cards, pretty flowers and even a visit in the hospital. We feel loved and incredibly blessed.

Thanks for sharing your journey.
Hey Sister. You are a beautiful example in times of grieving - showing hope but being true to your emotions. I'm still praying for you both.
Jaimee & Jer, I think of you often and remeber you in prayer.
