Baby Noah

A quick update to let everyone know we're doing okay. Brad took Monday and Tuesday off, so I've been spending most of my days sitting or lying on the couch. The only physical discomfort I have felt since coming home is a bruise on my left arm from an IV I had all day and one very uncomfortable irritation on my neck, which came from a blood transfusion needle. Thanks to the D&C I have no cramping.

My heart will heal in time. It's been easier than our first miscarriage. I think the experience of having been through it before helps. Having the three children brings joy to my heart. They don't let me stay in mourning too long.

We asked Kaeley what we should name the baby and she thought Noah would be nice. I would have never named a baby Noah, because we know too many, but I know that Noah means peace or peaceful, so we decided that was a name that should stick. Whenever I see the baby in my mind I speak his name and remind myself of the peace that he is currently in and the peace that will reign in our hearts. Our hearts will mend.
