Waiting in Faith |
This morning, Emma had her First Reconciliation retreat at church. Father talked to the kids about the sacrament of Reconciliation, then blessed a bunch of handmade rosaries that a parishioner made for each child's First Communion. The kids received their rosaries, and prayed two decades of the Sorrowful mysteries of the rosary, and finished with a tour of the church. While we were all praying the rosary together, I experienced an overwhelming moment where I felt someone telling me that the baby we just lost had been a boy, and that his name is Michael. My husband has a brother named Michael, and let's just say that nobody's really a fan...so I'm not really sure how I feel about the name, but the feeling that that is his name was so strong, that I don't feel like I can refuse it. I didn't get a sense of a middle name, though, so I think I'm going to look through the name book, and come up with one that I like with Michael. So stay tuned for his completed name in the near future. Finally, I just wanted to share how grateful I am for NFP (Natural Family Planning), but specifically for the Creighton method. Thanks to this method, I feel confident that I can naturally avoid a pregnancy this month to allow my body and heart time to heal from this miscarriage, and not have to worry about chemicals or breaking condoms, and then being able to going back to trying to conceive again next month if I feel ready, and if I feel comfortable enough with my MTHFR protocol by then. I'm so grateful to be able to take it one month at a time when deciding when to take that chance again. Neither of us are getting any younger, so I don't want to wait more than I need to, so prayers please that my heart and body are ready soon.
Thanks, and God bless! Dana
