... sometimes things happen ...

This is not an easy thing to do, but Brendon and I want to avoid awkward conversations down the line.  And we are just not sure that there is an easier way to do and/or say this.  We have reached out to family members and close friends, but we feel it necessary to disclose this to the people that keep up with our lives via Facebook and/or this blog.

Brendon and I found out earlier this week that we lost the baby.  Although this is a terribly emotional time for our family, we continue to feel fully blessed and we are determined to remain optimistic.  This is just part of our journey, and in no way do we feel that this will prevent us from continuing to move forward.  

This will undoubtedly take time to come to grips with.  We want everyone to know that we are staying strong and positive, and we are allowing this to strengthen the bond between us, and our family and friends.  Please keep us in your thoughts in the coming weeks.
