10.15.10

once again, it's so sad that there is even a day for this, but today marks pregnancy and infant loss rememberance day. just as i did last year to honor our little angel whom we learned earned his/her wings 1 year 4 months, 3 weeks and 3 days ago today, and would be celebrating their 1st birthday in just a few short months, i will light a candle tonight at 7 p.m. to participate in the wave of light. although this is just one day in the pregnancy and infant loss awareness month, not a day goes by that we don't think about our little one. who's nose they may have had. would they have looked like tony?

while i am truly, truly blessed to be sitting here 25 weeks pregnant with tony and baby d's little brother vinnie, it still pangs at my heart that baby d isn't here with us and that we must participate in this month/day not as a support system for others, but because we have been affected on a much more personal level.

if you have time tonight, please consider participating in the wave of light. to honor the memories of those babies you may know that have gone to heaven too soon, or in honor of those you may not know. i will once again be lighting 3 candles tonight...one for our sweet angel, one for our little nephew oliver and one for all baby's lost.

here is a link to last year's october 15 post and candle lighting.

also, as posted before...my sister is collecting blankets in conjunction with the sweet pea project during october, pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. here is my post from a few weeks ago about that. if you have blankets to donate, please contact me at 610.587.1096 or my sister who's contact information is on the flyer.
