What if the worst happens...?

Last night as I watched my baby girl breathe in and out in sleep, I thought of the two miscarriages that I had between she and her older brother...

Only a woman who has lost a baby could really understand, I suppose, the emptiness...or perhaps only a parent could understand. Either way, it struck me how much more painful those memories would be today if we hadn't succeeded in having our baby girl...

Yet even after the birth of our beautiful miracle, there is a sort of haunting that goes on that I never experienced with her older brother. Because we experienced such profound loss not once, but twice, every moment with her is twice as precious...and every scary moment with her is twice as scary, echoing our earlier loss...

I discovered this following website, with a comprehensive list of loss for those mourning a miscarriage or loss of a little one:

BABY LOSS BLOGS

I also found the following website of stories:

for it is often in sharing our stories, and reading the stories of others, that we begin to heal, I find.

Why Buy Natural Sheets and Blankets for Baby?

Many families are concerned about the amount of chemicals in our everyday lives. While we might not be able to remove all the chemicals our family is exposed to, we can reduce the amount in the home. When a new baby comes into the family, it is just as important to surround the baby with all-natural products. Since babies sleep nearly half of the day, it only makes sense to make sure they are sleeping in a safe environment.

There are many styles of all-natural bedding. You can find blankets, sheets, swaddling blankets - pretty much the same selection you would have with other baby bedding options. They even come in a wide variety of colors, not just neutral tones.

Having organic bedding is better for your baby's health - as opposed to the 50/50 non-organic cotton and polyester blend that is made from a petrochemical. These chemicals can irritate the tender newborn skin. Another chemical found in bedding and other fabrics is the fire-retardant chemical PBDE. This chemical is sprayed on to the product, so it gets into the environment quicker than other chemicals.

Many people have allergic reactions to some of the chemicals in household goods. By reducing the amount of chemicals your family is exposed to, it will reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
