The Surreal World
It's been a weird week. Yesterday was Baby Pumpkin's due date, but of course no baby. No pregnancy. Amazingly, though, I made it through the day without getting too weepy or being a total basket case. I've already told Pumpkin I miss him (I have felt that it was a baby boy), beaucoup times. Unfortunately it doesn't bring him back to life, or to my arms. But I know he is here in spirit, watching over me and Keith.
I was thumbing through a newspaper yesterday and saw the date. It stopped me. "October 9, 2008." Right then it felt so surreal to already be in October. Where's the time gone?
I am able to stay distracted, for the most part. Thanks to Myspace and their apps. I'd post the links, but I'm just too lazy tonight (sorry!). I've been kinda lazy, in fact, for the last couple of nights... must be the damn weather- it's creeping (or trying to) back into the mid/upper 80's again. After several days of 100+ degrees, Mama Nature can take her crap back. I now hate summer.
On a much lighter note, we're pretty much back in the saddle again, TTC our first Earth Angel. I hope s/he comes around soon.

October 15.. A very important date. Pgcy & Infant Loss Awareness Day...
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day: Take Action
(Thanks Jeanne for bringing this to my attention!)Stillbirth is not an intractable problem. Greater research would likely significantly reduce it's incidence, but good research requires good data. H.R. 5979: Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act is under consideration by Congress. This proposed bill would standardize stillbirth investigation and diagnosis, thus providing more data for the needed research. Better research means fewer children born still.
On October 15th, remember the thousands of unfinished children lost and the families who remain to grieve them. Honor them by taking action. Let's help pass H.R. 5979.
Action Steps:
Step 1. Use Your Blog to Enlist Others
-Copy the contents of this entire post and publish it on your blog immediately.
GOAL: Enlist 10 of your readers to spread the word
Step 2. Use Your E-mail to Enlist Others
-E-mail 5 bloggers and ask them (nicely and in an unspammy way) to publish these action steps on their blog. Consider contacting celebrity bloggers, political bloggers, medical bloggers, or bloggers who are not part of your reading community.
GOAL: Enlist 3 bloggers outside of your normal blog sphere to spread the word in other online communities.
Step 3. Help Pass the Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act
-By October 15th, publish a post on your blog supporting H.R. 5979 Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act. For maximum impact, title your post: "Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act."
GOAL: 1,000,000 Google results on October 15th when that term is searched for. Currently, Google only returns 20,400 pages - most of which have nothing to do with the bill.

TGIF...
...well, almost, anyway.
What a long week it has been. I ended up buying an 8-pack of the cinnamon rolls, only to go home with 8. go figure, had I not bought any I would have had such a huge demand that people would have been asking me why I didn't bring more. Because people dont eat what I bring!
OK, maybe not a HUGE demand, but everyone knows Murphy's Law, right? Need I say more on that?
On another note, as my EDD approaches rather quickly, all I can do is wonder... where would I be now? Would I have had my baby by now? Or would I still be working and be moaning like all the other 9-month preggos about this and that aching and trying to guess if I was going to go into labor 5 minutes from now or 5 days from now... *sigh* I'm inone of those weird moods at the minute, as in "will it ever happen?" I hope this is my month. Now that the wretched witch (all you TTC'ers know who I am referring to) is gone, I can only look forward to what the future holds, once again.
Ack, I'm babbling again. Someone stop me.
