DS2 would have been 2 today

Our second son died when he was 8 months old, last May. Today is his birthday, and he would have turned 2 today. My DS and I made cupcakes today in his memory. It's definitely a bittersweet day, snuggling a precious little one and missing my sweet little guy. You know, I was so scared of being pregnant again, of moving on with life after losing DS2. I didn't want to move on; I felt like if I did, that everybody would forget about him and only focus on the new baby. But, you know, it hasn't been like that. I know my extended family is thinking about him, and that helps to know I was wrong about people forgetting about our little guy. I read a quote on the Birth Without Fear blog that talked about rainbow children and how they don't replace or erase the child one has lost; they serve as a reminder of that child and how you can't have the rainbow without having had the storm first. It really resonated with me because I know the truth in it. I will forever miss my son; he will forever be 8 months old in my memory. I also know the joy that new life brings after the sorrow, and that even though it was hard to be pregnant after burying my last baby, it was worth it, and I am thankful for DD. Even with the pain of losing a child, I truly am blessed.
