As Angie said, over at Bring the Rain, those of us that have lost babies don't need A day during the year to remember our loss. We remember constantly no matter what the day. Even if we have children, we can't forget the ones we've lost.
We miss them. We ache to hold them.
We rejoice that they are in heaven, safe from harm, yet we have a part of our heart that is forever missing.
I'd love to hear about your babies if you want to tell me about them. Feel free to leave me your story in the comments. I will pray for you by name before the day ends. (ok, as a later edit: a private email works as well, as some are choosing to do. My email can be found under my profile info)
Even if you don't leave a comment, you're still in my prayers.
From my heart to yours today,
Melissa

Hello. I saw this come through the mamabuzzhive and thought I'd stop over. I m/c our first baby in Feb 01 and just recently had an unconfirmed m/c in April 09. Currently I long to be pregnant and my youngest is now 3. I go in on the 30th for a 2nd laparoscopy to remove adhesions from my 2002 section which is causing pain and my OB thinks affecting my fertility as well :(
We had three beautiful children and longed to have another.
I got pregnant and was just so excited!
Went in for a routine ultra sound and I had no amniotic fluid and the baby's kidneys were bigger than my husband's fists with blisters and cysts all in the inside.
He lived 17 hours and 40 minutes.
He was absolutely beautiful. He died in my arms surrounded by his family and friends who loved him so much. My little James Isaac.
We had 2 children with the help of infertility treatment & surgery & all that - after many years of trying. When we miraculously got pg with a third baby (without any infertility treatment), we thought God was giving us a special blessing ... but instead He took us on a journey of miscarriage and disappointment. For 7 years after the m/c, we never ever imagined we'd have another child because we didn't want to go thru infertility treatment & wanted to be content with the 2 children we had. I am now 28 weeks pregnant with our longed-for baby - my kids who are now almost-9 and 11 years old are ECSTATIC - and GOd has shown us His timing is better than our own!
