Life on the Road

Specifically, Carla’s Angels.

Let me explain…

When I lost the baby after Nick at 18 weeks pregnant, I was devastated.  My mom bought me an angel pin to wear, to remind me of my little one, in a happy way. 

A decade later, when I got pregnant with Jewel, I was afraid of losing her, too, throughout the pregnancy.  I got a new angel pin symbolize my new little one.  (I guess that might have been depressing, but it was really a comfort).

So now it just seemed like I needed an angel for Baby Blessing.  I started looking around, and Nick started complaining that “all the angels look like GIRLS” … and we all have a feeling that this one might be a boy.

I emailed Carla, and told her my dilema.  She responded by designing a custom not-gender-specific angel pin just for me!

He (or she) is adorable, and is now my constant companion.

Unfortunately he managed to sneak into the laundry, and was actually washed and dried in a none-too-gentle fashion!  And you know what?  He’s still perfect!

Thanks, Carla…
