enjoying what we have
our last appointment we were able to see some 3-D pictures of our baby. they were really special. one of them in particular turned out really great. it really made me ok with letting myself bond with him and be excited to see him and not afraid of letting go. he is special and more dear to my heart than i thought possible! and by the way he looks beautiful!
i met with a friend of a friend yesterday who had gone through the same thing years ago. she was such a neat lady and i really thought it was helpful to talk with her. hearing her story and how she dealt with it all was encouraging and good to talk about.
justin and i are doing well. its been over a month and we have been able to process it all well i think. dealing with many emotions, but feel somewhat stable right now. enjoying life and looking forward to the future.

Jacqueline, it warms my heart to see you warm up to your boy...I've been praying for this specifically and pray daily for you and Justin to have strength and courage and wisdom.

You are amazing. I admire your strength and courage. I can't help but be thankful for the blessing of technology, and that you found out about all this early. And I can only imagine how special it was to see a 3-D image. Still thinking and praying for you and your family. XOXO

What an amazing journey to go through. I love your honesty and strength. Almost two years ago I heard a gal share about a similar experience (her daughter was born, but not expected to live). She shared that even in the few days her daughter was alive she guarded her heart from "feeling", for fear of the hurt that would come...it really spoke to my heart and my own fear of allowing in emotions that may just render pain later. I'm learning that God made us to feel(good and bad) and His tender mercy's are always there. Thanks for allowing me to reflect...I find I forget so easily. You are an encouragement and in our prayers. Much love.

I am glad to see your post. Our fam has been praying for you and Justin. In this difficult time I'm thankful that you are resting in God's everlasting arms. I see a deeper, richer in spirit Jacquelyn arising. We will continue to lift your family to Father God. Love you sweetie. Damaris
