Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day

  October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day and it's something that should be remembered. Right? It's remembering a sweet little baby who could only hear your heartbeat, only a bond a Mother would know. Why not remember it? Not only miscarrying a child, but also delivering a butterfly baby. It's a trial you go through to strengthen your faith and to trust in God more. That's the only way I got through losing our baby. Is it hard to let go and let God? Yes, I still have a hard time with every day stuff. You just have to lay your burdens down and trust in Him. 

 As I sit here and type this, I have a candle lit in honor of our baby. Did you forget to light your candle tonight? Do it tomorrow night, it's a never forgotten memory.  As I was reading some comments under a friends post on FB, I came across a Mom saying how it has become taboo for people to talk about it. She has a point! It's almost like break milk--goodness forbid you give a friend breast milk because that's just "weird." Drinking Cow and Goat Milk is WEIRD, but we do it. We are the only mammal who doesn't 'drink' their own milk. Who's the weird one? Really though! LOL Back to what I was saying, why is it that people dismiss things because it's not normal? Maybe it's not their normal and they like to make it weird. I am not the one to talk about it randomly, but if it gets brought up I will. I know some people just don't know how to talk to people about life situations, maybe they don't want to upset someone, maybe they haven't been in that scenario and don't know what to say, or maybe they don't care. Don't care? Yep! You have some people who think being pregnant with a child  who has a heartbeat isn't a person, so that makes him/her not human because they haven't taken their first breath. News flash--If you throw fertilizer on soil to make grass grow, and you see green buds...is that grass/living organism? YES! Same difference, different concept.

  Since then, we got pregnant again and had Flynn. He is number THREE. People always ask will there be another? Of course, if God has plans for us to have another! I would love a football team, but I am also content with the three I have now...and our foster children. I love our foster children. I am taking one day at a time and enjoying every child God has given me. 

  I am logging off--DVR and hot tea time. Have a good night and will catch you later!
