What an amazing view. We got to see the lights turn on and the temple grounds just looked wonderful.As many of you have noticed or seen, we have removed the baby ticker and our post about us being pregnant. On Tuesday morning about 5:3o am we thought Lynette's water had broken. We hurriedly rushed to the ER to see if it had. After spending a few hours in the hospital and having an ultra-sound, we were told the baby did not seem to be under any stress and that all looked as it should. We later confirmed this with our personal doctor. We felt very fortunate and left feeling like everything was OK.
Wednesday was a different story that began the same way. I was awakened by Lynette at 1:30 am with a terrible case of the chills. She was running a fever and no matter what I did I could not keep her warm. She also told me that a miscarriage had begun. We called the on-call doctor and he recommended Tylenol for the fever and pain, and she soon began to recuperate. She slept momentarily until the contractions and miscarriage really began. At 5:30 am we headed to the ER knowing that we were in fact having a miscarriage. After about 2 1/2 hrs, they sent us on our way to be at home and rest. They helped with the miscarriage a bit and that seemed to relieve much of the pain that Lynette was having (Lynette now loves Morphine).
We feel very blessed that the miscarriage came and went so quickly but feel as though something was taken from us. We know the Lord has a plan for our lives but wished it involved having children at this time. Whatever the case may be we are doing well. We have been surrounded by so many good people. Family and friends have sent beautiful flower arrangements and have prepared meals for Lynette and I. We love you all and thank you all for your love and prayers. We know that without much of your help, this week may have been worse. So, again from Lynette and I, thank you to all those who have made this time easier.

Oh Lynette, please know that I am thinking of you and praying for you. Despite challenges, I hope your holiday is full of the comfort of the spirit.
Lynette, I am so sorry! I had one about two years ago after 1 1/2 years of trying to get pregnant and I don't think one really understands until they actually go through one themselves. It is not fun! I hope you feel better soon, both physically and emotionally.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and tesimony with us. You are in our prayers!
No one truly understands how it feels to have a miscarriage until it happens to them personally. It is heart wrenching. I am thinking of you! Take care.
Anthony and Lynette
We love you two. It was great to see the new blog entry. Congrats on the anniversary. Anthony, I am impressed that you wrote the entry (I do the same thing some times). Hmmm . . . I scrapbook and blog
You blog . . . do you want to come over and scrapbook? ha ha ha
Mark and I have both been thinking of you. I'm now on the other side of that painful chasm of wanting children desperately, but having my patience and faith tested. All those years, I remember just wanting some sort of confirmed timeline, that I would have a baby, even if it was going to be 6 years away. It would have made it so much more endurable. But not many of us get a calender from the Lord with a day and year circled in highlighter. If that's not you, then hold tight to the fact that there is a circled date for you, even if you don't get to know it now. You and Anthony are FANTASTIC; we love you both.
