October 15th

So I read on a blog I read that today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It breaks my heart that there is a day for this but I'm writing this blog entry for my little brother who lost his life to SIDS and other the other babies close to me-i hold a place in my heart for each and every one of them. I pray the numbers of infant death goes down each year. Unfortunately here are some of the stats....

SIDS take the lives from 7000 babies each year nationally.

Miscarriage rate is 15-20% but can be even higher b/c miscarriage can often occur before a woman even knows she is pregnant.

There were many other stats but too sad to write and when I see the numbers, I just start to bawl.

For the women that read this and have lost someone, I'll continue to pray for you.

We are so incredibly lucky to have such a healthy boy and I pray for him all the time. It makes it so much harder that he's not here right now!

Until next time....
