October 15th is a day filled with many emotions. It is recognized as the day for National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. So a year ago I was honoring our lil Lilly we lost, but on that VERY SAME DAY, I found out I was carrying another special little being. I was instantly filled with so many emotions! INSTANT Anxiety, fear, confusion, and sadness all for the fear that I again would not get to meet this little one and would suffer another loss! I remember being so scared and coming out of the bathroom crying and shaking so bad, and then collapsing into Ryan's arms and crying. I was so so scared! But ultimately at the same moment I felt LOVE. LOVE that I already had for this little person growing inside of me. But how would I deal if I lost this one too. I tried to stay positive and I don't know how Kamdyn made it! He must be so strong. I was so riddled with anxiety the whole time, I thought for sure something would be wrong with him. And then at 8 weeks I started spotting and I just knew it was all coming to an end. I kept praying that it wouldn't but if it was going to I wanted it to happen then. I didn't want to wait for 19 weeks and get attached to this little person and lose them again! But he persevered and showed me how wrong I was!! I still worry daily that I will lose him to SIDS or something but he is such a strong lil guy! I love him so much!! So today has mixed feelings. I miss Lilly and think about her often, but I wouldn't trade Kamdyn for anything in the world! He is mine forever!

My heart is with you and your little Lilly. (((HUGS)))
You and Kamdyn look so great in your hospital pics. I too worry about SIDS and all that other stuff! It never ends it seems.
O' Misty. I'm sitting here crying. I think you are also an amazingly strong person. I remember we were due about the same time and I was instantly heart sick when Spencer told me what had happened. I felt so sad for your loss. I'm sorry you lost your sweet Lilly. Those Lilly's are special little girls. Your little Kamdyn is an angel. I know the stress of something happening to him must be overwhelming at times, but he is a strong little bugger. You have been so blessed with him and his sweet little personality. I hope you are doing ok, you are in my thoughts and prayers today.
I love you girl.
And cute he is. You are a very strong person I am sorry you had to go through that trial. But you have a very cute family
Misty I could never imagine losing a child that far along. You are a very strong woman. The month before I got pregnant with Sara, I had a miscarriage. I still think about that little spirit and I hope that one day we will meet again.
