Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day



Today is the day set aside to remember all of our angel babies. Not that we would forget them if we didn't have a day but it's nice that the exists.

In 2004, (I know it's a really old study) 15.6% of all preganancies end in miscarriage or stillbirth. I'm not sure if that seems like a lot to you or not. I know if I'm told I only have a 16% chance of something, I don't get too excited. The 16% percent doesn't mean anything to you if you have an angel baby either. It doesn't make you feel any better to know that 16% of the pregnant population is experiencing the same thing.

Most of us know somebody, or are somebody, who has an angel baby. Steve and I have 6 angel babies. I have one more so that makes 7. Each loss effected us in different ways.

I think about our angel babies. Some days I think about them a lot and some days I not as much. They are missed and loved. I know I'll be with them again.

Our children know about our angel babies. They think it's funny that they could have 6 other siblings. I've told them that it doesn't really work like that.

When Anitra died, G told me that she could now be with our Heaven babies while we are with her Earth babies. That sounds okay to me. They are all safe.

We love you angel babies. We miss you and getting the chance to know you. We will meet someday.
