giving back.

-
last summer, while struggling through the grief over losing my beautiful baby girl, i came across facesofloss.com.  this amazing website got me through some dark days. it helped me know that i wasn't alone and gave some great information and resources.  they also have a facebook page, which, although i don't participate in actively, i still follow in case i am having "one of those days".

yesterday, i noticed a post saying that the girls who run the site were looking for volunteers to act as admins to post stories, etc.  without hesitation, i sent them an email and offered to help out.  once school starts, it'll just be me & the c-man here, so i figure i'll be able to take some time and do what's needed.

they were so helpful to me when i needed it most ,that i am so thrilled to be able to pay it back to them by doing this small amount of work for them.  i hope any of you moms who may follow my blog, who have suffered from miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss, will check it out.

a mumble jumble of thoughts

first of all.. thanks to you mommas out there who posted comments on my "bad day" post. none of my friends really have babies and nobody quite gets what i'm trying to say. i guess i'm going to have to find a way to meet some other moms. on another note, we just brought my little man home from outpatients. he's got infections in both ears and a terrible cold. he's miserable, but still smiling. update: little man is finally in bed. mark & i decided to stay here in oxford for one more night just so we didn't uproot alex after the hubbub of the hospital. we're going to head off tomorrow. i'm looking forward to getting home to my own house, but it sure is nice to have mom's help with alex being sick.

i am sick.

i normally don't go to the doctor. i broke down and went this morning since my cold has turned into something a little more evil, a little more menacing. that's right. i've got a throat infection and was on the verge of strep throat. so, 10 days of penicillin are supposed to cure me. god i hope so. mark's home today, so we just took alex out for a walk, with a pit stop at the kiwi for white hot chocolate & the best ginger cookies on the planet, and i'm a happy camper. 5000 calories later, life is good. i weighed in for weight watchers on monday and lost 1.6 lbs last week. that set me at exactly what my weight was at my very first OBS appointment when i was 11 weeks preggo. only 29 more lbs to go.
