Today is pregnancy and infant loss awareness day, this day was set aside for everyone to remember those precious lives gone too soon. I will admit last year I didn’t know this fact, and like many unless this issue hits close to home, some may never know. Last year on October 15th I was sooooo upset driving home from a 2nd job I had taken up, I was tired, I was nauseous, and I was sneaking yet another pregnancy test into the house, hoping to be pregnant. Last year on October 16th I found out I was pregnant, it’s been a year now since I began this journey, and I will now come across milestone dates through the next 7 months until I apprehensively come back to May 23rd.
Today I lit the V candle from Vayden’s memorial service in memory of my sweet angel baby. I also lit another candle for all the other angels gone too soon. I sat down and watch Vayden’s slide show 4 times, reminding myself of all the wonderful things I did with him in the womb and out. I miss him, and look forward to seeing him again.

Great minds think alike! I also light one for all the other babies I've grown to love through their mothers...
ReplyDeleteThinking of Vayden tonight!
I lit a canndle in memory of all the babies. I will say a prayer for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to Vayden, and such an appropriate way to spend the night, watching the video and retracing your time spent together. Sending you hugs and prayers for peace in your heart. You are amazing and strong.
ReplyDeleteI also lit two candles I have thought of so many today & so sad that there is so many. I thought of you so much today for all you have been doing. Waiting for that wonderful day when we will meet those babies in heaven. Prayers & {{HUGS}}

I love Vayden's candle! I lit a candle each for Jordan and Carleigh and I lit a separate candle for all the babies lost. I also did a balloon release. We remember them all.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea.. we lit a candle here..we let it burn all night as we missed our baby and thought of all of the other babies lost.. hugs
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. I had no idea yesterday was pregnancy and infact loss awareness day! Is there a certain color you should wear on this day? I would like to observe it next year. And I can't believe it's been a year since you found out you were pregnant. You have been on quite a journey in the last year. It has made you stronger.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your son Vayden. I think it is very noble and amazing that you carried him to term knowing he'd never live long outside of your body. I told my husband a dozen times since we lost our Audrey that had I known she would die inside my body or outside my body right after birth, I'd still carry her and I wouldn't change anything.
