the 4th little C...

Not a day goes by that I don't think about the little princess we lost at 18 weeks along in my pregnancy. Our 4th little C. We don't talk about her a lot to other people, but she is a constant in our home. We look through her things; pictures, foot and hand prints, her teddy bear, the little rings we were given by the hospital....every little reminder we have of her. I can't help but wonder what she would be like today. She would have just turned 2 in January (her due date was the 21st). I was looking around online today and found a blog about a family that just lost their little angel. She was 4 months old. Now, we have lost two pregnancies. I had to deliver our little Caitlin and leave the hospital empty handed. But I don't pretend to know what that family is going though. What I do know is how we were, and continue to be, affected by our loss. My heart goes out to all families that have lost a child. It has got to be one of the hardest things in life!

While on this site, they had listed two songs. They are so fitting for the loss of a child. It is everything Matt and I talk about when Caitlin enters our mind. Wondering who she would be, what she would be doing, talking about all of the things we are missing, wishing things were different. They are both country songs which really are not our favorite, but the lyrics are perfect. We love our three boys and would never trade them for anything. We do, however, miss our little girl more than anyone will ever know. Missing you today and everyday, Caitlin.
