I knew as I approached today that I wanted to write something. I didn't know what exactly but I'll see what comes.
Today was my due date of my second child. For anyone reading this post that didn't know, I miscarried in July. I wanted to honor that baby in someway today by mentioning her. She'll never have birthdays to remember and celebrate but I didn't want to overlook today. We didn't know if she was a girl but we felt like she was and thus the name Eppie Noella. Eppie was her nickname during the pregnancy and Noella since she was due in December.
My husband has been such a rock during these last five months as we have gone through the healing process together. So many times I feel like we're on the same page and dealing with things at the same time when we talk about it.
Eppie will never be replaced in our lives and that's why I didn't want today to pass without mentioning her. I think some people think that my grieve is because I want another baby or that if I just hurry up and have another one then that will "fix" my problems. That's not true for me.
The Lord gave me this verse earlier this week as it has been an especially difficult week.
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27

Reading this brought tears to my eyes... It doesn't matter how many children u have, they can never take the place of what you've lost. Each child is a precious gift from God, and we will always carry them in our hearts.... Until we meet again! I didn't know when your exact due date was....we love y'all so much, and will always remember Eppie.
I am so sorry for your loss! I am crying for you! Just last night I wrote you a card, thinking it was on the 12th. I'm praying for you all. I'm thankful that our babiesare safe in the arms of God. I love you sis! Teresa
This was so sweet and it made me cry. Love you!
This made me cry... Praying for and love y'all!
Love you, girl!
Weeping with you. Love you guys and praying for you. I don't think it matters how long we have our children for a few weeks, a few months, or years they will always be a part of us and we can never replace or forget them.
I was thinking of you yesterday knowing that this was @ the time Eppie was to have been born. I just thought for some reason that she was due on Christmas day. We are so sorry for your lose! Children are such a special gift each & everyone of them and none of them can be replaced. I am comforted in the knowledge that we will someday see all these precious little nieces & nephews that have gone before us. One thing I know if Mimi is truly there she will be loving on them til we can be with them. For she loved us all especially the little ones so very much! We love y'all and are crying with you as you morn the lose of your precious little girl. Ephesians3:14-21
This is such a sweet post and I love the name you guys picked. That's precious! I can only imagine how hard this has been for both of you, but that little cutie is just one more thing about heaven to look forward to.
This was hard to write but my heart grieves with you.
Praying for you<3
I've been thinking of you all month knowing this was when your little one was due. Love y'all, and praying for you.
