So today is October 15th, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Today holds a special place in my heart and many other moms who have lost a baby. As I sit here with my miracle in my belly I can't help but remember how I got here. It was a long road paved with lots of heartache and pain, a road I didn't want to travel down but now feel so grateful that I did.
 
I remember all 5 of my pregnancies and what it felt like to see that second line turn pink and have a joy rush over me. Each lil baby helped me get a step closer to meeting this baby that I have growing in my belly. Each one taught me to find the light even when I felt I was surrounded by darkness.
 
I know my life is filled with happiness now but I still hold a special place in my heart for my angel babies. I can not help but to shed a tear for the beautiful angels that now surround me and this growing baby. As I sit here thinking of them I feel gentle kicks coming from within and is reminded of what a blessing I have been given.
