This week was what would have been the birthdays of the babies from my m/c. I should have had a baby boy that turned 2 and another (gender unknown) that turned 1 this week. Its really strange to think about that. This year was definitely easier than the last two years now that I have baby Paige, but its still so hard to think about and for these anniversaries to come around. What makes it so hard, I think, is that I saw them both on an u/s. The first m/c was at 13 wks and it was so hard because it looked like a little baby, an image that I don't think I will ever get out of my head.
I know that having those two m/c gave me Paige as I would have been pregnant with the 2nd baby when I got pregnant with Paige. I can't imagine my life without her, so I guess everything does happen for a reason.
So glad this week is now over.

I'm so sorry. October 7 was the one year anniversary of my baby girl's due date. I lost her between 13-14 weeks. I thought I was doing alright, but DH took Nolan and I on a stay-cation about an hour from our house for the night just to get away. We went to pick up some snacks from the grocery store and they had a bunch of hot pink Happy Birthday balloons blown up to buy. I lost it right in the middle of the store. I'm talking sobs.
I know what you mean. It is hard because I know that if I hadn't lost Eden, I wouldn't have Nolan. He was supposed to be in my family. It doesn't make me any less sad to think of how things could have been with her though...especially now that I know what awesome kids I make.
Big hugs to you. You are not alone.
