26 ehlers angels

This third (and hopefully final) miscarriage has been very different from the others. The other two were during the days that I didn't want many people knowing what was going on in our fertility world. This time we can tell that there are so many peace and comfort prayers going up for us and we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! I have gotten so many 'praying for you', 'thinking of you', 'how are you?', 'I'm here for you' phone calls, texts and facebook messages that it has truly been very heart warming!
During many of my conversations we have talked about the fertilized eggs and all of the "science" that goes on behind the scenes. It was during some of these phone calls that I realized that God already knew all about our little ones. God reveals to us in His Word that not only does life begin at conception, but He knows who we are even before then (Jeremiah 1:5). King David said this about God's role in our conception: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb . . . your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" (Psalm 139:13, 16).
Every time I ended one of those conversations my mind was going 90mph and then it hit.....OH MY WORD!!!.....Zach and I have 26 babies in Heaven! Two miscarriages + 14 fertilized eggs from IVF#1 + 10 fertilized eggs from IVF#2 = 26 BABIES!!!! Who is taking care of them????
I know that at the beginning of this my grandparents in Heaven stepped right up and invited everyone of those sweet babies into their mansion but as the years have gone on and baby after baby comes in I'm sure they are past their limit! I can just see my grandma marching all 26 little darlings down the streets of gold and dividing them up between them, Zach's two granddads and my aunt Debbie. I'm sure grandma and Debbie have it all planned out which kid goes where and when it is time to switch. I'm also sure that they are begging God to leave a few on Earth for the rest of us to take care of and love!!! ;)
I'm still not sure what our next step will be but I'm putting my HOPE in the Lord! I HOPE He so sick and tired of hearing all of us and all the caregivers of 26 Ehlers babies in Heaven begging Him for a sweet healthy baby Ehlers that next time He will give in and make it happen! ;)
We are waiting for His perfect timing! Thanks again for all the prayers!
