Dear Reader:

The reason I wrote this book, I am hoping the experience that I went through, which wasn’t easy, that it would help some moms out there that have had trouble bearing a child. It wasn’t easy to go through what I did, but I was determined and didn’t give up. It was with the help of the Lord that we were able to finally have a baby, which was truly a miracle from the Lord.

If any Mom ever wants to talk to me about what I went through, I would be willing to visit with her and try to help her out the best way that I could.

Through my experience, I believe the Lord has made me more compassionate toward other people.

This book is dedicated to Elmer’s family, Diane’s family, our dear relatives and friends, and especially to mothers who have miscarried.

Elmer and I were married June 29, 1974 at Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church in Williston, North Dakota. We were so much in love and thought we had the world by the tail. Much to our surprise we didn’t have the world by the tail. We had many ups and downs.

We both accepted the Lord as our Savior in September of 1976. I know now that without the Lord we would never have made it through all our trials.

We decided to wait on having a family until we got somewhat established in farming. When we did decide to try and have a baby, it took some time to become pregnant. I finally got pregnant when I was 34 years old.
