today is national day of remembrance for pregnancy and infant loss (which i did not know until i read hilary's blog) This includes all babies who have died because of miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or any other infant death.
we lost paige july 3rd this year. there are few days that go by that i don't think about how my life would be different if God had not taken her. i would be 24 weeks pregnant. i would know the sex of the baby (i just assume she was a girl because that is what i already have). i would be over half way through my pregnancy and getting things ready for her arrival.
i know that all of it happened for a reason. i can say that because i KNOW God has a plan for us, for my life. but i can honestly say that i still don't really know why it happened. sadly, i may never know. besides God's plan, i don't have much insight into it all.
i am thankful for the gifts that we have been given. two beautiful, wonderful daughters (who just this morning were giving me hug after hug- a hug-a-thon if you will). a wonderful husband who was so supportive and cried with me during the loss. wonderful friends and family who listened and comforted me.
i know that we are blessed in many ways. i know that paige is happier where she is. i hope that we will be able to (someday) add another member to our family. but today we will mourn the loss of paige and all babies that were taken before we were able to hold them.
