I am not sure who reads our blog; what your background is or what you believe. I don't know what your thoughts are or how you feel. I am, however, going to touch on some of my own beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and a little of my background in this post.
I believe that before this life on Earth we all were spirits dwelling with God. We all wanted to come to Earth to gain a body, to be tried and test, to learn and to grow. I know that everyone on this Earth and everyone who has and will live here, chose to come here for these reasons.
We all chose to come here to receive a body.
Dave and I just found out that our little one who was due on February 24, 2011 stopped growing at 9 weeks. Here is where I wonder. Did a spirit get to receive that body? The body was tiny, so would it be usable? I want to think that we have another child who is waiting for his/her parents. But still, I am not sure. Here is where my logic would say probably. There are spirits, more than we can count, who need bodies. All of the miscarriages, still borns, and abortions that happen would not be for a spirit. I wish to think this untrue. All the pain and suffering that we experience, when they occur, would just be for us to experience and not for a spirit to gain a body. And the baby's body at 9 week is functioning.
Here is where I say probably not, in 3 Nephi 1:13 this is right before Christ is born. Nephi prays about his people and we read what Christ says to him, "Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world..." Christ did not come to the world until he was born. So, I wonder if that is how it is for all of us. Do our spirits enter into our body the day we are born? When we breathe the breath of life? And Christ is a God, it could have been different for Him. If so, when do you think the spirit enters? I am not sure...
There are so many thoughts and "I wonders" going through my head, I hope that I am not rambling and someone has wondered the same things or knows anything on the subject. (If anyone want to comment and does not want to tell everyone you can email me lesley1482@gmail.com)
I know that God loves me and has been with me through this and I have been comforted. I just wonder...

2 "OOH, I wanna say something":
Oh Lesley, I feel for you, I really do. The same thing happened to us almost 2 years ago. We'd been trying and trying to get pregnant for a few years and it finally happened. To make a really long story short, we had a few ultrasounds that showed a good strong heartbeat. Then when I was 11 weeks I started spotting. We had another ultrasound and discovered the baby had stopped developing at 9 weeks. I was heart broken. It was probably one of the hardest things I've gone through. But it was also a great learning and spiritual experience. I believe that when the heart starts beating, there is a spirit in the body. Who knows if I'm right or not, but that's what I believe. Good luck with the recovery. It was also my hardest recovery of the 3 miscarriages I've had, because I was so far along. But, there is a happy ending. 3-4 months later I found out I was pregnant again and now Xander is 9 months old. It's very tough, but you're not alone. If you ever need to talk just send me a message on Facebook and we can chat or I can give you my number. I love you, Lesley. You're in my thoughts.
So sorry to hear what you and your family are going through. I have had many friends and my sister go through this as well and know it is so hard. It does bring up the question of when the spirit enters the body and it is one that has many opinions. I can't even venture to guess. But I feel that if the pregnancy was known and you felt a connection then there has to be something to that. I'll pray for you guys.
