Remembering...

Posted on Sunday, October 12, 2008 by Admin

Today 10/12 is a due date anniversary for me. I also had one on 9/18 and will have another on 11/23. Today I remember my October baby. The one that was with me the shortest amount of time. The wounds are not as raw as they have been in the past. I am sure that is due to time and the anticipation of Kai's arrival. But they are still precious dates to me.

If you know a woman who has lost a baby, no matter how long ago it was, love on her this month. It is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. We remember our babies everyday of every month, but it is still nice to have a specific month to share those memories with everyone else.

Wednesday 10/15 is PAIL awarness day. I will be wearing my blue and pink ribbon. And then at 7:00 pm I will be lighting 5 little candles and letting them burn for at least an hour. Please join me in lighting candles for your babies or the babies of your friends and family. There will be a wave of light around the world.

I remember you everyday, but today is special. Today is the day the federal government has declared as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Every year on October 15th mothers from all over America remember those special babies that they didn't get to bring home. One way we do this is by lighting a candle at 7pm and letting it burn for an hour. You can find other ways to remember your babies by visiting the official website here.



Pregnancy loss affects so many women every year. The most recent statistic I found in my very quick google search was this Out of the 6.23 million pregnancies in 1999, 1 million of them ended in miscarriage. That number does not include still birth or infant loss. So many babies gone to early and so many mothers with broken hearts and empty arms.



So today I remember those 4 little souls that left me too early. I think of all the dreams I had for them and all that we have missed out on. Oh how I wish they were all here with me. Josh and I will be lighting 4 candles tonight. And while they burn we will think of our special little babies and pray that God will bless us soon with a child to hold in our arms.



So if you have a lost a baby remember them today. If you have not lost a child remember the women in your life who have
