Missing
November 8th, 2007
Yesterday was a little sad for me. It was the day we were supposed to become a family of five. Back in the spring when we learned of my miscarriage, I wondered what my due date would mean to me down the line. Even though I never got the chance to introduce that little baby to Olga or Gavin, I did get the chance to hold that baby in the safety of my womb. And even though our sweet little love isn’t here to share in the joy, I made chocolate cupcakes for the occasion. Because a birthday is a birthday, you know–no matter who comes to the party.
(((hugs))), Last spring almost everyone I knew announced they were expecting, you included. Then two of you lost the baby early on. And for the past month all the babies have started to arrive…I couldn’t even keep up with all the knitting that could be done from this little baby boom…and a couple weeks ago one baby arrived and didn’t make it. And it doesn’t matter if the baby only lived a day, or never made it to this world at all, it still hurts just the same, and it’s still the loss of a precious child. I know your little angel is watching from heaven and I’m sure your cake melted your little angel’s heart.
Annie-
I am so sorry for this loss. You are the most fabulous person and I just know that you will blessed with another child in the future. I hope your pain will subside. My heart is out to you.
Kate
I am sorry for your loss. I have lost two babies . (((HUGS))))
Annie–I used to be a subscriber but have since lapsed. I remember you from Issue #1. Now you’re a married woman and mother, boy how time flies! Sorry about your loss.

I’m glad you found a way to mark this day for yourself and your family. *hug*
Hugs to you Annie….what a great thing to do to mark the occasion. I still remember when my baby would have been born but wasn’t was due too. It gets easier but never forgotten.
Love to you..

All you can do is hug the ones you do have there extra hard for the one that isn’t there, and remember them when you can. So many of us have had the same thing happen and we just go on because we have our families to care for. Many times my children were the only reason I got out of bed some days, thank goodness for that!
