The Love keeps coming and comeing!

We have had so many blessings and an outpouring of love from others around us lately. I can truly say that we have been blessed.
The past few weeks have been stressful emotionally, because we are getting so close to the end of this pregnancy and it makes me so nervous. I was dreading October just because last October was so fun but ended up so sad. I have tried not to repeat the events from Sharyn's pregnancy but they keep happening anyway, but with a happier outcome. My mom keeps telling me that Heavenly Father is trying to replace the bad memory's with good ones and to show me that he Loves me and is looking out for our family. I kind of think maybe she is right.
Everyone around me is so excited that we are having our new bundle of joy that an outpouring of love has been given to our family.

First: When I was pregnant with baby Sharyn my sister and good friend Sheree through me a surprise baby shower that I never got to enjoy because we lost Sharyn two days before the shower.
On the 1st of October I was surprised again with a beautiful baby shower from Some wonderful women that are also angel moms,(They also recently lost there baby's to soon, just like Sharyn) Amy(Alexis's mom) and April(Harry's mom). They through Natalie(an Angel mom of Branson) and I a baby shower for our new baby girls. It was so much fun and special all at the same time. They included our baby's we lost, by adding their pictures on the mantel and invited other moms that have also lost a little one. I loved how not only were we celebrating our new baby's but also our ones we have lost. It was kind of like getting to have Sharyn's baby shower as well as Ambree's all at the same time. I loved that, It felt so good to do this for the both of them. Amy made these fun and cute Diaper cakes that had fun things on them, like a head band and cute flower, Diapers (of coarse), ribbon, rattle, lotion and baby bottle. And April hosted it at her home. The decorations and food were so cute and great! Just to see these women and to understand each other made the night so nice and perfect. Each one of these moms are such strong wonderful women. I am so grateful that I have got to know them and that they are there when I am in need. Thank you Again Amy & April! And Natalie, I can't wait to have our new baby girls see each other and become the best of friends. Love ya!

Second: My mom and sister through me another baby shower for Ambree. It was so much fun and I can't believe how many people came to support me and our new baby. I did not realize how many friends I truly had. I was so nervous for this baby shower just because of the last time, but this time it turned out wonderful. We had great food and wonderful people their. We even used the cute diaper cake that Amy made for me (I love It). It was overwhelming on the amount of people that came to show there love and support. It truly surprised me that everyone would come just for me and our new baby. We got lots of fun gifts, Ambree is very loved! We decided to take some balloons over to Sharyn's headstone. It felt like the shower was for both Ambree and Sharyn and I wanted her headstone decorated for the day. The baby shower was so much fun. Thank you to everyone that came, It really meant allot to see you all there. I can truly say that I feel loved, and that everyone is so excited for Ambree. Thank you!

Third: This last Saturday we had another blessing. My Cousin asked if we could use some help with our basement. (We are remodeling our basement so that we have room to move the older kids downstairs, so when Ambree comes home we have a nursery for her.) The basement has consumed our summer, and we still don't have it done. The baby is coming any day now and we don't have anywhere for her to come home too. Dan is working on it when ever he is home trying to get it done, but no mater how hard he works there is still so much more to do.
Any way, My Cousin asked his Elders quorum if they wanted to do a service project? And he suggested to help us with our basement. WOW! That was truly a blessing. They came and got almost the whole basement sheet rocked and ready to start mudding in one day.
Dan has been doing this the whole summer and they were able to finish it in just ONE DAY! It was so amazing. I can't tell you how relieving it is to be getting so close to finishing this project. To be able to stretch out and feel like there is room for everyone. I could not believe how hard everyone worked and they did it for us. It was truly another blessing. Thank you Daniel and the Single Adult Student word Elders quorum For coming over and helping our family. Thank you so much!

And to top off everything: We were able to participate in a "Walk to remember" and balloon release for stillborn and infant loss, put on by Share. Oh how I needed that. I have be so excited for our baby Ambree but missing baby Sharyn so much at the same time. I have tried really hard to not replace Sharyn with Ambree and to still honer the both of them. This walk was perfect for doing just that. I got to spend the day with my family and my Angel mom friends, to celebrate our baby's we lost and to remember them. It was such a wonderful event. It was so touching and it really made me feel closer to Sharyn. I also got the opportunity to remember other baby's in our family that were gone to soon as well. My aunt Kathy's baby- Jessica, my aunt Alice's baby- Angelina, My aunt Marlins baby- Greg, and my two nephew's Enoch and Lehi. It felt so good to also recognize them because they have made a hug impact in my life. Long before I lost Sharyn, I always looked back on these baby's and have seen how hard it was for them losing these baby's and how much there moms and family's missed and loved them. How they still include them in there family's and that they still have a special place in there hearts. I never thought I would one day say "I understand how you feel" but now I do and now I truly realize how strong and amazing these women truly are. They are a true example to me. I love you and am so glad that I was able to do this little walk for your baby's. It was perfect.

So in the end this October is turning out perfect and we are defiantly feeling the prayers and and love that is coming our way. I truly feel blessed! Heavenly Father is watching over us and blessing us with the people that we are surrounded by. You are some of our greatest blessings. Thank you so much! love Sheila and Family
