Miscarriage is not the same as losing a baby that you've held in your arms.   Losing a baby in any way is completely devastating.  The pain and grief of a pregnancy loss is equally significant to a loss of a child that has been born.  For me it's harder because I had no baby http://salenalee.blogspot.com/2013/10/capture-your-grief-day-3-myths-about.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708524249510985820.post-8325435598621681877Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:07:00 +00002013-10-16T07:54:40.039-10:00Capture your griefmiscarriagepregnancy and Infant lossremembering baby Day 2: Identity.  My babies do not have names.  Both were lost by missed miscarriage meaning they died inside my body and were discovered with no heartbeat during an ultrasound.  We decided to let both pregnancies pass naturally.  The first took two and a half weeks.  Baby left us on January 12, 2004 at 11-1/2 weeks gestation.  The second took one day.  http://salenalee.blogspot.com/2013/10/capture-your-grief-day-2-identity.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708524249510985820.post-4684478390540347037Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:01:00 +00002013-10-16T07:55:08.781-10:00Capture your griefmiscarriagepregnancy and Infant lossremembering baby Day 1: Sunrise October 1, 2013 6:50 a.m. Mililani, O'ahu, Hawai'i.   http://salenalee.blogspot.com/2013/10/capture-your-grief-day-1-sunrise.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708524249510985820.post-756654953975626150Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:57:00 +00002013-10-07T22:27:51.218-10:00Capture your griefmiscarriagepregnancy and Infant lossremembering baby In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Carly Marie of Project Heal is doing a capture your grief project.   I invite you to join in and share your story in this unique way.  Go here to read each daily prompt in further detail.   http://salenalee.blogspot.com/2013/10/capture-your-grief.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708524249510985820.post-7913263605443482442Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:00:00 +00002013-09-12T04:00:03.888-10:00pinterest party  Your Host: Agape Love Designs Co-Hosts: The Mrs. Shipwrecked On Fabulous Island A Little Piece Of Me We all know what a wonderful and helpful tool Pinterest can be to bring traffic to our blogs! So today Agape Love Designs and several other awesome ladies have come together to host a Pinterest re-pin it party!

Here's the recipe I promised you. It's one of my favorites and is so easy to make. One thing I love about this other than it being easy is that you can alter each ingredient to your taste. In the picture above I used chicken breast tenderloins. This recipe is for 1-16oz package of pasta, you can use any type you like.
