Celebrate Life

posted on: Wednesday, November 12, 2008


A while ago my sweet friend Liz sent sent Enzo this delicious looking red velvet with cream cheese frosting cupcake. Enzo is really into cake and really into singing Happy Birthday, especially to himself. This cupcake is a way for him to celebrate his life anytime he feels like it. The booties were for Christian and I as a good luck charm to help us create new life as we endevored in planning our second child.

Well the charm worked. I got pregnant. However, my pregnancy was short lived and yesterday I experienced a miscarriage. It has been one of the hardest experiences of my life. So now I am drawn to the cupcake, and my healthy toddler son, and all that he celebrates every single day with his exuberant personality.

Please excuse me from blogging for a while. I need to heal both physically and emotionally and gain a sense of self again as I go through this loss.

    Beijos,

  3. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I also went through losing a baby last year and it is hard to go through, it makes me second guess getting pregnant again but I know if it was meant to be then it was meant to be, you are in my thoughts and prayers. You will get through this and you will be stronger for it!

  13. Damaris, I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Your heart must really be hurting, and that makes me sad. My internet life is just a click away from yours, so let me know if there is any way I can send some rays of sunshine your way.

  15. I am so sorry, I hope you recover emotionally and physically soon. I know its common for people to say that everything happens for a reason and its true, but it doesn't help much :( Lots of women have miscarriages, and I am sure it wasn't your fault, so if/when you want to try again, think positively!
