Here's how it started...
In September 2007 after my cruise and Alex's wreck, I became extremely sick. I was vomiting nonstop to a point where nothing, not even water would stay down; every medicine didn't help and the doctor was not sure what was going on. I had been sick for 9 days and had lost 15 pounds when the doctor broke the news to me privately that I was pregnant and was suffering from extreme morning sickness.Pregnant. I could not believe it; that word rung in my ears for what felt like hours. I was shocked and flabbergasted. After breaking the news to my family and to Alex, preparing and repairing began.
After lots of tears and heads hung in shame...love was shown and forgiveness was in order. After much prayer and consul forgiveness was given and decisions were needed to be made. One month later, Alex and I were engaged and 7 weeks later, Alex and I were given the most beautiful and extravagant wedding that we did not deserve and I could not have ever imagined. Even though a sin had been committed, forgiveness had been given and a life was on the way so Alex and I had to begin to prepare for the new life ahead of us. The wedding was Dec, 21st and the church had been covered in love with fake snow, trees, snowflakes...street lamps, berries and ribbon. It was a winter wonderland like no other. The bridesmaid were in red strapless dresses with fur stoles while the groomsmen were buttoned up in black tuxes and red vests. At the stage waited my handsome husband to be in a ivory vest and black tux; he watched with a smile while my wonderful daddy gracefully walked me down the aisle in my gorgeous white halter top dress with beautiful bead work and a fabulous red sash that flowed down with my train.
5 months and one week late, after a rough labor Madilyn was born. What a undeserving blessing to have such a beautiful child. The road Alex and I have been traveling on has been a hard one but it had been wrapped in prayer by so many friends, family and church members. Our marriage and our child has been and is being prayed for by so many. I know that things would have not worked out so well if it hadn't been for all those prayers. Believe in the power of prayer because my great marriage and healthy child would not have been possible without it. Also, never doubt my God for He is wonderful and giving no matter what the circumstances and He is loving even when you screw up big time.

We are so thankful for God's blessing in little Madilyn. We are thankful for His neverending love and the spout of His grace you have allowed to flow out of you.
GOD CAN'T use hypocrites because hypocrites screw up and act like nothing happen and try to cover it up.
GOD CAN use us when we mess up and we are real with ourselves and each other.
We are so proud of you and happy for you!
Rachel,
We are so thankful that God is a forgiving God because not only in your situation but in many others God has blessed them. I can say I know someone very very well who was in your shoes but she did not get married now that did not make her a bad person. But she's here today to tell you she knows what your going through. Now i will not post the name on the blog due to she may not want the entire world to know but she is a christian and will be there to open her arms to you because she has been through what you have been through. If you want to know the story from me or want to talk to her feel free to contact me. But Rachel Know that you have blessed many people because you are overcoming the first mess up that will affect your life but Madilyn is no mess up. God gave her to you for a reason. ALSO RACHEL DON'T LISTEN TO ALOT OF THINGS THE WORLD MAY SAY ABOUT YOU & ALEX JUST REMEMEBER AS YOU SAID GOD IS FORGIVING AND HE HAS FORGIVEN THE ACT AND HAS BLESSED YOU WITH A BEAUTIFUL CHILD AND A HANDSOM HUSBAND.
Love ya,
Chasity
