On April 24, 2012, when we were 16 weeks pregnant with our fifth child we discovered at an ultrasound that our baby has Anencephaly. The next day we discovered that this sweet baby was going to be our first girl! This blog is our journal of our journey with our sweet baby girl Joy.

Blessings of a Temple
Justin and I have been blessed enough to attend the temple almost weekly since we found out about our sweet Joy. I need dearly the strength and love that I feel every time we go. I know that I would not be able to stay focused every day without that strength. When we told them we were going on a date tonight Jaxon asked if we were going to the Temple. :) I love the feeling that our children are starting to notice that the Temple is an important part of our lives. The blessings given in the Temple are so wonderful and I look forward to the day that all my children are with me in the Temple. What a wonderful day that will be! While Justin and I were sitting in the temple he shared with me part of a tender talk given by Elder Richard G. Scott. It was a conference talk given in 2009 called Temple Worship:The Source of Strength and Power in times of need. It is wonderful and so touching. I was going to copy and paste some of my favorite parts but I will just leave the link hoping that some of you will be able to feel the same tender spirit we did while we were listening to it.
I feel my dear sweet Joy closer to me every time I attend. And I feel the strength I need to be happily patient until the day we all get to be with her forever. I love her with all my heart.
