Now ya do!
I broke the rules and posted 2 posts tonight......forgive me. ;)
Okay, I have two writing pieces I need to get done. First of all, I'm supposed to write my piece on 'Body Image and True Friendship for Dove', but I have to see the movie, The Women first before I can write that. I had the plans all set to see the movie, but then that was the weekend I miscarried (Sept 11), and well, it just got put on hold. So that is piece number one I need to get done.
The second piece I need to do is for personal desire. It's about Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on Oct. 15th. In the blogging world we are trying to raise awareness and to get people to urge congress to pass H.R. 5979 Stillbirth Awareness and Research Act. So that will be coming soon. A friend, Jeanne, has been graciously doing some research on this topic for me and has sent me a bunch of related links...so since she's done so much work for me on this topic, it should be easy for me to write! Thanks Jeanne!

Can't wait to read them!
If you let me, I'll post your infant loss post on my blog so that others who don't visit your blog can read and see it.
I think it's so great that you guys are trying to raise awareness about a subject that some people find so uncomfortable. I know your post will be helping someone else out there.
I think it's great that you are working to raise the awareness of such difficult topics. Good for you!
Alicia,
If I find any more links on the legislation and/or Remembrance Day, I'll send them.
In the meantime, I just wanted to let you know (if you hadn't already heard) that RESOLVE's Infertility Awareness Week is coming up Oct. 19-25 (see my blog's sidebar for more info).
