Infant Loss Day

I just found out that today is Infant & Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day.  I guess it's one of those things you don't pay attention to until you've dealt with a loss yourself.  I considered sharing my story with facebook, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that.

I did end up telling my supervisor about the miscarriage and requested to work 32 hours per week.  I expected her to tell me she'd have to get back to me about it, but she ended up being very supportive and told me that I could start a reduced schedule in two weeks!  This has been one of the few blessings in a difficult couple of days.  

I also have my first counseling session tomorrow.  The fertility center offers counseling for free and it will be nice to talk to someone who specializes in infertility and pregnancy loss.  I just hope I don't cry too much, since I'll have to go back to work after the appointment.

A lot of people have asked me if there's anything they can do for me.  I'm really not sure yet what I need.  If I can think of anything, I will be sure to let you know.
