The very next week Josh had a birthday. He is Nick's best friend and Melanie's fiance lol. That weekend my Mom and I spent a lot of time in MD on Saturday helping with my Dad's poker run. It raised over 800 dollars to help with his medical bills! What a blessing.
October 14th was Nick's birthday. I got him a card, a king size Reese's and House Season 6 on DVD :)
October 15th was National Pregnancy and Infancy Loss Awareness Day. 2,000 woman A DAY lose their little ones. Such a staggering number and its not talked about very often. 1 in 4 pregnancies will end this way, so why its not talked about more, I don't know.
October 16th we went to my cousin Heather's wedding. It was soo pretty and A TON of fun. We got to dance and see family and enjoy ourselves. My Mom, Aunt Dawn and I all wore a piece of my Mom Mom's jewlery so that she could also share in the day. Later, when I got the pics up on facebook, there ended up being SEVERAL pictures with Rainbows and Orbs in them. I don't know what you believe, but I truly believe my Mom Mom was there with us that day.
This week has been hectic with work stuff and trying to get all of that done. I've also been sick on and off but I'm dealing okay. Yesterday I actually left work early I was so sick and came home and slept for three hours. It was insane. After I woke up, Nick and I cleaned a bit and got ready for our condo cozy. Then we did some shopping and had a cake consultation with Jaimecakes. See her website here ! She is so nice and down to earth, I can't wait to see the sketches she comes up with. We will hopefully have another consult next week, but I have yet to hear back from them. I wanted to do at least 2 consults so we had a choice but I really am leaning towards going with Jaime. Her cake flavors were AMAZING and she was so nice and down to earth. I really just want to bless her with the order, if that makes sense.
The condo cozy went well today although, I am really bummed about more people not showing up. A lot of Nick's work friends came, and my Mom and Nick's mom and brother. 2 of my friends whom I love dearly and my sister also came over. I just kind of hoped more of my friends would show...but such is life I guess. I really adore those people that did come and support us.
The month will end with trick or treat night on Thursday and hopefull another cake consult, and my Dad's Halloween Benefit Dance that I'm kind of excited about but dreading, all at the same time. I need to find me a costume, and PRONTO.
Last but Not least, there's been a lot of pregnancy announcements on a board I frequent as well as facebook and blogs recently. I'm so VERY happy for all of my friends, and wish them nothing but happy and healthy pregnancies, but it makes me sad sometimes too. I want a baby in THE WORST way. I am so terrified I won't be able to get pregnant again. I guess I'm just sad that I have to wait another 6 and a half months to really try again and really thats a LONG time.
I miss you my little Monkey. Please help your momma stay strong, while I wait for your big brother or sister <3
