Our Sad News

I just copied this over from Mikey's blog. My heart's a little too tender to write much about our baby right now. Maybe later. So, here's Mikey's post:

I may write more about my thoughts and feelings on this later, but they are somewhat tender right now, so we’ll see.

Many of you know Karie and I have been very excited about our news that we were expecting our first baby in March. Well, unfortunately this week on Wednesday we found out that we have had a miscarriage. We found this out the same afternoon my Grandma J passed away.

We are heartbroken about this news, but trying to stay positive. The only reason I’m posting this here is it’s much easier to let people know this way, than it is in person. Also thank you to everyone who has offered their support, through emails, flowers, etc. It means a lot to know you’re there.

We will also miss our Grandma J. I’ll try to write a short tribute to her on here soon, but I know she is much more comfortable right now.

A few memories of Granny J:

Taffy cookies, Steal the Pile, Coke, Readers Digest Jokes, Fiery Red Hair, Christmas Morning, the Charleston, the Lumina (aka IrmaJ) and so many more.

Karie, I heard about your blog through Camille. It is great to see what you are up to lately!

I am so sad to hear your news. Miscarriages are very rough, I had one almost exactly a year ago and it was difficult. I am thinking of you guys right now and praying that you will feel better soon.

Love you guys,
Lacy and Matt

I am so sorry for both of your losses. We lost a baby and a grandma in the same week too. Maybe they are there together...

Hold tight to each other.
