Ticker warning

Anyone participating this year? I loved this even last year and I'm looking forward to this year! Any bump friends I should be looking for each day?

***SIGGY***

Been on the fence about it, but I think I'm going to do this again, too. I quit halfway through last year because it was overwhelming emotionally, but I did like it.

I did a little googling...but I'd like to know more about this...

It's from CarlyMarie, a loss mom in Australia who started this last year [I think last year was the first year]. It's a 31-day photo challenge during the month of October, which is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Last year, those who participated used social media [blog, Facebook event, Instagram etc.] to post a picture based on a prompt. We posted pictures on everything from our favorite memorial spot to pictures of our angels to our last picture before the loss/first picture after. There was a prompt for every day of October.

It was an emotional event for me last year because I was only six weeks removed from losing Devon, so I didn't finish the entire thing...it was really neat to connect with other loss parents and share Devon with the world, though. It helped me open up about his loss and not feel alone anymore, since so many others [from this board and other places] were participating.

I am definitely interested in participating, but not sure if it will be too emotional. I will probably start and see how I do with it.

I didn't do it last year but would kind of like to this year. Even though my loss is it seems so much harder this year for me since I am no longer pregnant and worrying about losing my rainbow. I think i want to do it. I just need ti figure out how I will find out which pictures to take and when.

I am still debating whether I will do this.

Here is the link to it if anyone is interested in learning more:

I think I'll do this, but probably not every day. I haven't blogged in a while because my mind is just all over the place but this helps focus my thoughts.

I went onto the website to see what it was about. I've mentioned to my DH about doing it. But mainly just a us thing. I've never posting anything about my pregnancy on FB and I dont think I would be ready to be that open at this moment.

I'd like to participate. How can I get involved?

Totally want to try it out... I was doing a September photo challenge when I lost my Domenik... I look back and reminisce, but it makes me cry. But I think this will help in some way.
