remembering our baby...

Every time I look at the little ticker at the top of the screen reminding me how many days it's been since we lost our baby, it's it also a reminder of the joy that baby brought us, if only for a short time.  And for those family members and close friends who actually read my blog, I realized something tonight when I was remembering this little one. Today would be the exact day in this pregnancy that I lost the baby in the last one. This exact day. It's amazing how God works. How awesome His timing is. How He constantly shows me that He is here with me. How He cares so deeply for me. How His love is shining through this new rainbow baby. How He is faithful and redeems. So with all that said, I am thankful to have had this experience. Our glory baby has ministered to our hearts more than most people we know.  Our baby taught me I control nothing, even though I think I do. I couldn't protect or do anything different to save his/her life. I felt helpless, and it was good for me.  God gave us hope through our tears. Hope that our little one is in heaven with our King, hope that out of pain comes a closer walk with Jesus and a hope of heaven.


I took these pictures tonight because it's all the physical reminder I have left of our glory baby. But what sweet reminders they are. And I lit a small candle in honor of McBaby and all the other angel babies out there. Thank you all for your love and support!

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month/Day

Not long after my miscarriage, I started researching it and found out many things, including the fact that October 15 is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. That day is quickly approaching and I want any of you who would like to to participate with me. All you have to do is at 7 pm, light a candle for our sweet angel baby or for one of your own. So many good things have been happening to us since this loss, and there will be more details in a few weeks, but I will never forget my time of happiness and grief that we had with our first sweet baby.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, lots of things going on, and like I said, I will update in a couple weeks. In the meantime, you might get a few posts here and there of random things. I will probably post on this again on the 15th, but I wanted to give you all a heads up who might want to participate.
