This week is so very full of different emotions. Oct 14th would have been the first birthday of our first loss. I love my precious miracle Addy more than I can ever explain, but I will always mourn the babies that went home to be with God. As a result, there are dates that will forever be ingrained in my memory & yesterday was one of them. I feel special though that this day is so close to Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I remember this day very vividly as last year it fell on a Thurs & my pastor allowed me to light a candle @ 7 during our midweek service. I thought I would just get to light it & leave it be, but they asked me to explain why and boy did I cry. That night 3 of the senior men (all Deacons) in our church asked if they could pray over me. The next day I ended up having my IUI (unexpectedly) & now I have my Adelyn.
I wholeheartedly believe that my Addy is a gift from our precious angle babies. I will always remember them & am grateful to have a day that honors each & every baby that was taken too soon. I continue to pray daily for the many mom's & dad's still on their journey & hope that they will soon get to celebrate their miracles.

Thinking of you today and always and sending love and prayers. Even though you hold a sweet baby girl in your arms today, I know the hurt from the time of loss still hurts.

Thinking of you and your two angel babies this evening. Hold Addy tight as she is a gift from God and from your angel babies.

I am so happy you got your sweet Addy. I think I will always mourn my little angels, too. Especially my Lilly.

What a blessing to have such a supportive church, and to now have Addy.

I'm not holding my breath that he will keep up the 9:30-6:30 sleep schedule. I definitely hope he does, though! Sleep is nice--especially when you don't get opportunities to nap during the day!
I was actually surprised he rolled over. He didn't seem like he was anywhere near that milestone. She'll figure it out soon enough!
