Yesterday.. October 15th

October 15th is Pregnancy awareness day.. Most people have no idea about this day.. I sure didn't, no until now anyway..

Things I've learned since the loss of Cadence..

There are 6,000,000 Pregnancies occur annually in the United States every year.. 

America Loses More Babies Annually than 28 other nations.. 

1 in 4 pregnancies Lose their Child

4,058,000 Live Births

1,995,840 Pregnancy Losses 

26,000 Still Births

600,000 Miscarriages

64,000 Ectopic Pregnancies

50% of the time there is no explanation.. 

I had no idea that things like this happen everyday.. I had no idea that there is someone out there in the world that loses their child everyday, every minute.. This never hit home until it happened to me..

I was talking to my Nana a while back when we visited her in CO. and I got to spend some time alone with her.. And let me tell you what she is one strong amazing person.. She always knew exactly what to say and the perfect time to say it.. She told me something that I will never forget, she said, "We question the Lord when things dont go our way, or when things dont work out as planned. We say why me Lord, why me? But what we forget when good things come our way we dont say "Why Me, Lord." She is so right! We are always looking for someone to blame when things dont go our way, when we dont get what we want, or when loved ones are called back home.. But we forget to thank the Lord for what he has blessed us with..

I can't look at my situation as something bad.. I feel like that is almost unfair to Cadence if I think that way.. I was blessed with the best 9 months of my life, and all Cadence knew was Love and Happiness.. The Lords plan for us is greater than the plan we have for ourselves.. And for what ever he has planned for Kale and me must be something great and until then I will just have to remind myself and keep my faith..

Welp thats all for now.. Remember to keep your loved ones close to you and be greatful for the time you have with them.. And just Love your little ones.. God Bless you all

This is my favorite Scripture.. I have found so much comfort by this!
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
