Have you heard Blake Shelton's song, "God Gave me you?". I know its about falling in love and he's singing it to his wife..but this song has a totally different meaning to me.
I feel like this song is written for me and Gummy. God sent me gummy to help reinforce my broken heart..."Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs...God gave me you for the days of doubt...And for when I think I lost my way...There are no words here left to say, it’s true...God gave me you...Gave me you"
Here is the lyrics. It wont let me embed the video but I'll link it. Go listen the song is beautiful!

I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
Gave me you
There’s more here than what we’re seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I’ll be the flattered fool
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
He gave me you.

Love this song :) And I totally understand the meaning behind it for you!! God gave you Gummy :)
How perfect and beautiful. Love it!
My boyfriend is currently deployed. I have a bracelet made with a guitar pic that has this song stamped on it. He has a guitar pic he uses and keeps with him in his uniform with it on it :) It's a wonderful song<3 SO glad you've found comfort in it I know I have during his deployment a LOT! <3
Beautiful song! IT has such meaning! Dave barnes is the one i usally listen to, And God has given you gummy, and Has given you so much! I am loving reading your blog through the ups and downs. You have such strength!
Oh I am loving this song lately!! Perfect!
The original is actually written by a Christian artist, Dave Barnes. You should check out that version I think it has a deeper meaning (nothing against Blake Shelton, though!)
Kelly, I am just so happy for you and James. You have been through so much, and as you continue to nurse your shattered hearts, you truly deserve something to look forward to, a little "gummy" to love, hug, and snuggle. Maddie will always be in your life, and we will all think of her often as well - she won't ever be forgotten. . No one can replace her sweet, perfect little self. Now you have another little love on the way to bring joy and sunshine into your lives, and I hope she will help soothe some of your pain and allow you to smile again. What a blessing. I cannot wait to watch you grow and blossom with this new life. Congratulations!!!!! Much love to your family from the Meadows in FL. :)
I must have missed your big news! Congrats! So excited for you both...what a blessing!
One of my faves!
Beautiful song.
So, do you plan on finding out "gummy's" gender, or waiting until you give birth? I couldnt wait with my daughter, I found out asap at 18 weeks! haha
Praying you have you a healthy pregnancy<3
The song was written by Dave Barnes, and he has said it's not just about a significant other. It's about friends, family and anyone else who has been placed in your life for a reason. It's a good tune.
Love that song!
I think it is a perfect song for you and Gummy. So glad you found comfort in this song - God is Great :)
First of all, I wanted to congratulate you and James. This baby is already loved by so many!
I also had a question for you and I know you did a Q&A a while back so I understand if you don't get around to answering it. Did you tell your class this year about what happened to Maddie? Also, we would love to see pictures of your classroom!
God bless,
Elle
Hi, Kellie!
I love that song, it has so much meaning behind it for so many different situations. I am so happy for your new blessing!!
P.S.- I'm a student at SHSU (eat 'em up Kats!) and was wondering if you would ever have time in your busy schedule to shoot some christmas pictures? I was wanting to have some done this year but I don't really know any photographers around the Houston area and immediately thought of you! Just let me know :) it would be an honor! My email is amm062@shsu.edu if you get a chance. :)
Much love and many blessings!

Congratulations on your news! I have been reading your blog for awhile now. I love this song, it's beautiful.
Psalm 139 13-14 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well"
Had this on my heart...wanted to share. :)
I love this song too! My daughter is 7 months old and has started standing holding on to furniture and just growing up before my eyes. My husband is in the Army and is in training until December, he is missing so much and we are missing him. I think and pray for you guys everyday, This gummy is going to be the most precious!
Kellie,
I've been reading your blog for a couple months now. Ironically, I found your blog a few days after my birthday - Feb. 17, 2011. My heart aches for you and your husband and family. You have proven to have such strength and dignity in such times of affliction and pain. So inspiring!
But in reference to this particular post - There is a song me and my husband had played at our wedding "Thoughts of You" by Barlow Girl. The song is actually about God. Thoughts of how God has changed a person. When hearing it then I thought it was so suiting about how I feel about my husband. Then we had our first baby girl in June. Then I heard it again and I thought how suiting those same words were for how I felt towards my baby.
This makes me think of what you said about "God gave me you." I hope you look up the song "Thoughts of you."
I look forward to more of your posts! Sorry the comment was so incredibly long :)

Beautiful song, and so fitting. God sent Gummy your way at just the right time to heal your heart. Of course Maddie will not be forgotten, but it is so great to have something so wonderful to be excited about. And Maddie will be right there with you every step of the way and continue to be a blessing in your lives. =)
Hey Kellie did you hear about the SIDS benefit this weekend at Coldwell Bankers on 290 and Barker Cypress?
Whaaa. Okay, I'm crying now. I'm so happy that you are showing a twinkle of hope and happiness. Beautiful song. :D
I've been following you since February and just want to say how happy I am for you that God has blessed you with another child! Maddie will never be forgotten. She IS an amazing baby!! I admire you so much and visit your page daily. You are an inspiring woman to so many!

This was me and my husbands 1st dance song :) i love it. the version we danced to was different, but i love it! Such a good reminder for us that Gos is there and does give us those special people!
ah, I "KINDA" know what you are going through. I had two miscaridges and still cant get pregnant. But, i cant image what you are going through. And I love that song as well. Hope God continues to comfort you and give you the much needed strength and peace
