A time to remember

Every year around this time, as well as preparing for Christmas, I take some time out to remember my first pregnancy, which ended in miscarriage after a short time.

This year, I am remembering a second brief pregnancy, and thinking of how that baby would have been due today.

I am no longer grieving for those pregnancies, because if I hadn’t lost the first, I would never have had Little Man, and if I hadn’t lost the second, my little girl wouldn’t be currently kicking me in the ribs and keeping me awake!

Life is hectic at the moment and I don’t often think of those pregnancies any more, but tonight I’d just like to mark their loss and remember that they will always have a place in my heart, those little sparks of life that were with us for brief moments and gone before we knew it.
