It makes me upset that the media does not share this with the world. This topic is still very "taboo". I understand that breast cancer awareness is important..very important, but so is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness. But, I'm here to speak it. I'm here to share awareness.
October is so bittersweet it is also the month that my sweet Maddiegirl was born. In just 12 short days Maddie should be 2 years old. My heart hurts so bad. I wish she were here! I wonder what she would look like, how many bows she would have now, how her voice would sound, would she still have red hair?, would she be tall?, what would her favorite foods be?, would she love her little brother? The list goes on and on.
But, the truth is she is not here. We need to spread awareness about SIDS and pregnancy loss. If you would like to share awareness please blog about Infant and Pregnancy loss. You may also link my blog and share my story. Thanks so much!

Your right is very "taboo". But yet its such a common horrible thing.
I will be praying for you this month.
Thinking of you and sweet Maddie always. <3
Love that your spreading awareness for your sweet girl!
I'm participating with you in honor of my angel baby girl. <3
I'm so glad you posted about this. I have been following you for quite some time and our prayers are with your family.
Just wanted to add that there is a great group called SHARE the our family is a part of here where we live, and it is nationwide. It's a great resource for families suffering from infant and/or pregnancy loss. There is an annual Walk to Remember for those that would like to honor their babies in that way. Also there is the Light Around the World on October 15th that some may like to participate in.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet girl, it is truly unimaginable, and your strength is an amazing testimony. God Bless!
I will be blogging October 15th.
Hugs to you Kellie! What did you decide you wanted everyone to do in rememberance of Maddie's birthday this year?
Kellie, this is a new, beautiful song by Pink that reminds me of your family.

Thanks so much for sharing this Kellie! For the past year I have suffered from recurrent mc's after having 3 mc's within the last year I too with that people would not see this topic as "taboo". I will be praying for you as you near Maddie's Birthday! You are always in my thoughts and prayers!
I understand your frustration about the media not picking up on your cause... they seem to fixate on one, and ignore the rest.
October is also Down Syndrome Awareness month - which is a cause close to my heart as my niece (and namesake) has Down Syndrome. I'll be thinking about you and your family this month!
