My first October 15th as a baby loss mommy was spent, alone. I was in the middle of preparing a four tier wedding cake so my precious little girl went to spend time with her great-grandmother, and my love spent the evening working.

Bethany, I know exactly how you are feeling. I was due December 18. I should be just about 32 weeks pregnant right now. The holidays are going to be rough. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up until January. But that is not possible so I know the next few months are going to be an emotional battle. I am here if you ever need to talk or just need someone to lean on. ((hugs)) I think the fundraiser idea is wonderful, I've been trying to brainstorm some ideas myself for October next year. Much love to you!
