I'm not normally "personal" on here, however, I feel so thankful to have Colin that I thought I'd share...
A year ago today my doctor got on the phone to tell me my blood work was not looking good and I had most likely miscarried. I left work in a bucket of tears and probably shouldn't have been driving. The roller coaster of emotions Justin and I went through in a 2 week span was exhausting. I was met at the door with my mom and sister of course- even though I told them not to come to my house it would only make me more upset (I should have known better). The next day I received another phone call from my doctor to come back in.
She then sat down to tell me in a very soft voice... she made a mistake. Made a mistake?! My blood work had been mixed up. I was confused, shocked, mad and happy. I was a mess in that office. How was I going to go home and explain this to Justin?
We dealt with excitement, loss and happiness (with caution) all within 2 weeks. Someone was looking down on us. Now a year later I have this face to look at every.single.day and feel very thankful for the mix up. I could not imagine my life without this man...

such a blessing!
he is such a beautiful little soul--you are all lucky to have each other!
I'm in tears...I cannot believe that mixup. I'm so happy for you and Justin to have been blessed with Colin!
Katie - I had almost the same thing happen with Brynlee. I had my blood drawn and they called me (on a friday) to tell me my levels were too low and I was most likely going to lose her over the course of the next week. So everyday I woke up waiting to lose my baby. It was the worse experience, but I know how you felt. Thank God we have beautiful, healthy children. =) Thanks for sharing your story.

I read your blog and it brought me to tears. I can't even imagine how hard that was.
I'm very happy God had other plans for your family.
Thanks for getting personal. :)
