Today is Friday, September 3, 2010.
It's a day like any other...
I woke up, took Kelsey to school and went to work.
Kelsey is going to the beach after school with her grandparent's for Labor Day.
Tonight I will probably go home, make dinner and hang out with the hubs when he gets off work.
It's a day like any other...
No balloons (pink or blue).
No counting minutes between contractions.
No family members in the waiting room.
No nurses wandering in and out of the room.
No monitors with baby heart-beats in the background.
No nervous anticipation.
No pushing.
No welcoming.
Nothing.
It's a day like any other...
Today was my due date. And even my husband forgot that today was the day.
There is a certain weight that I feel whenever I hear or see the words: September Third.
It could have been so much more than a regular day.
Don't misunderstand. I am not very sad. I am not crying. I am not falling apart.
I am simply reflecting on what today could have been.
I trust in The One who placed the stars in the sky and The One who hung the moon. I trust The One who sent His one and only Son to the cross for my salvation.
I trust in Him.
I trust that when His timing is right...my timing will be right.
I trust that the things that bring us the most pain will ultimately give Him the most glory.
And even though today is day like any other...I still trust.

hi there i am following from another blog that i found through mom blogs.
this post i so understand. oct 27 was my due date and like you said it was a day like any other. June 2 is when had to give birth b/c she died in the womb and now it passes with no balloons or candles and really is like a any other day. God is so good and has made the hard times seem very peaceful in his hands.
I cannot tell you how much I relate. Although I do not have a date.....that is just it, I do not have a date. I am praying for you...I know God's timing is perfect.
