It's my last day here, and I am remembering some of the fellow bumpies we had at the beginning that are no longer posting here. Roxyttandme, Easjer, TimsWifey, I know there are others. I just wanted to ask if we all could maybe take a moment to either pm them, or visit their blogs and leave a note of support. Easjer's blog in particular is really emotional, and it's hard to read without feeling some of her pain. As I read through these blogs and posts, I often hear the fact that they feel like people are forgetting about them or just expect them to move on. Maybe we can make that feeling a little less.
I know many of you still write and talk with them. I'm not trying to be Sally-DoGooder or anything like that, I just know that often their old posts are quickly passed up on and with new people in and out every day it's hard to remember where someone went. And maybe just knowing that we still think of them and read what they are going through might help a little. We are so blessed to have healthy babies and pregnancies, and sometimes when I have heartburn, nausea and feel like crap, I forget that there are women who would give anything to have that back.
Roxy still posts here, and Easjer's blog is www.thecottonsocks.blogspot.com
If you know of others, consider posting their blogs if they are public or let us know their bump names to pm them a note.

Oops, sorry about the link. I forgot it's on blogspot. Thanks for posting the right one.
Wow... I am not sure what to say... I am overwhelmed that you would post something so thoughtful and kind. Thank you.
This has been the toughest of times for dh and I. It seems like every day something else happens to break our hearts. Last weekend, we picked up dd at the mortuary, on Monday- OB read us the autopsy report, today- I met with a client who asked me if I delivered a healthy baby... There hasn't been a day that dh and I haven't held each other in tears since we had the make the gut wrenching choice to say goodbye.
The support from this sight has been amazing. I can honestly say, that I don't think my healing process would have started yet- if it weren't for the support of the women on this sight. My hat is off to you all.
Thank you is not a big enough word.

If interested... I finally wrote a brief (at least to me) blog about our experience.... It felt good to put some it to paper / computer.
