Why I'm Here and Why The Name

I've taken the plunge into Bloggerdom. I have so enjoyed reading my Sister's Blog *Renaissance* and others that I decided to take the leap and create a blog of my own. It won't be so full of detailed thought and aspirations as others I've read, but hopefully it will reflect me, and my own personality. Now that you know why I'm here, let me explain "Why The Name".

I lost my first biological daughter due to complications when I was in my 20th week of pregnancy. She was born prematurely at a rest stop and lived for an hour and a half without any life support before God took her to be with Him. Her name is Grace Antoinette Rose Brown and I had a really hard time when she died. I decided to change my internet name to *FullofGrace* because my heart was so full of her even though my arms were not.

"Blessings Fivefold" are the five specific blessings in my life, even though God has filled my life with so many more than that.
1. God is the first and foremost important blessing in my life. He has kept me through many struggles and fills my life with many good things.
2. My husband Bob is the second blessing in my life. He is the love of my life, we are cut from different cloth but blended together we make a beautiful tapestry.
3. 4. 5. My Children; Samantha, Wayne, and Samuel. Samantha and Wayne were the beautiful package deal when I married Bob. Not bone of my bone, nor flesh of my flesh, but children of my heart. Samuel is my 5 month old miracle baby. I prayed and prayed for him and God answered my prayers by sending me a beautiful baby boy with hair of red.

As you can see, God has been Good to Me and my family. We live in Owego NY and have a home to call our own. That's just a brief synopsis more to come later

So sorry to hear of your precious Baby Grace...I can definitely relate because besides the baby whose story I told on my blog, we lost another baby at 16 weeks last May...it has been really hard and I find myself still struggling with it sometimes. I love the name of your blog...my e-mail is mommyof5blessings since we have five beautiful children and your site name just reminded me of that.
God bless,
Betsy
