Remembrance Day

I don't post often anymore, mostly because I'm usually very busy during the work day, but I recently learned that today is national Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I know this is not something most of us have thought about or have had to deal with, but for various reasons it's weighed heavy on my heart. I've been thinking of some of you all day (especially @BananaBoat05, @SpankingShank and @oopsiedaisies) and just wanted you to know that I remember and have been keeping you in my thoughts.

Me and my husband lit our candle earlier and I was crying when we did it. Thinking of you ladies as well

I lit 3 candles before I put the babies to bed.

Your responses all made me tear up. My heart is heavy for all the mamas who have lost their sweet little ones. Prayers for comfort and big hugs to all of you.

From last night. I went in the rain. October is a bittersweet month for me since I lost my first angel in October & gave birth to my first rainbow in October.

My first pregnancy ended on October 23rd 2010. We had found out the pregnancy was ectopic the night before in the ER. It was a Saturday morning when they gave me the methotrexate shot and another agonizing 11 hours before I could get in the OR. I had a unit and a half of blood pumped from my stomach and was on oxygen for 24 hours. I wasn't released until Monday the 25th from the hospital.

I'll spare the scary details but what happened changed me forever. More so than when I had my rainbows & even my miscarrage back in June. It's like a cloud that never fully fades. My heart always aches for the little heartbeat that couldn't stay.
