Another October, another time for lighting candles for our 3 angel babies…
Also another time for our annual donation to the March of Dimes for the work they do with families with premature babies, NICU babies and those who have lost a baby or fetus. I know their Berreavement package was very helpful to me when I was grieving my losses, and I want to make sure that good work can continue.
Previously, you may remember, I had created one for our 2nd lost baby, willow… This year for our donation, I created a band for sienna:
sienna’s band
Next year I will try to remember to create a third band for our other miscarried baby so that they all have one.
If you are someone who makes regular donations to charities, please consider making a donation in the name of one of our angel babies, or just towards the March of Dimes in general.

Every year, we take a moment to acknowledge our angel babies that we lost through miscarriage.
This year we had another family over for supper so we had their little girl help light with lighting the candles along with my two. 3 candles for 3 angels so it worked out. Also, her mom and I were pregnant at the same time and when she was born (in October 2002) it was around the time my 1st angel would’ve been born.
Which partly explains why we always take the time to remember our miscarried babies on the same day each year – October 25th. Our first lost baby was due on October 5th and for my 3rd and 4th pregnancies, I started to miscarry them on October 25th (one year apart).
Another annual tradition linked with our candle-lighting is a donation made to March of Dimes. When we were losing our 2nd baby, I found out that they offered a free grief package with helpful info and I ordered one to be mailed. It was so helpful during those few weeks following the loss of our second baby.
This year, the March of Dimes has started a campaign where little bracelets can be created in honour of lost angel babies. So for our regular donation I created a bracelet for this second baby, willow. Maybe next year, I can create another bracelet for our third baby, sienna.
If you’re a regular charity-giver, please consider the March of Dimes as a possible source of your givings. And if you’d like to donate in willow’s name, here is her bracelet:

Well, I’m finally launching the website that I started last July… with much less fanfare than planned. See, I’d been trying with my hubby to work on creating new tickers, but the technical details turned out to be over our heads.
So I’m launching the site instead as just a spot for message boards and non-blinkie graphic art. And moving a couple of the groups I host (for moms of angels) to that board as well to help get it started.
If you are or know any moms who are dreaming about working from home, about a new house, about a new baby, about finding love, or about a dream wedding, please send them this way!
