Something that really ticks me off.
I only have a few minutes to write but I feel that I have something that I must get off my chest. Today I went to get gas and while I was checking out, there was a girl in front of me who was atleast six to seven months pregnant. She was buying cigarrettes. Ooohh, can I tell you how mad i was? I had half a mind to say something to her. Doesn't she understand how painful it is to lose a child? My child was stillborn and i would sooner die than face that a second time. Smoking increases the risk of low infant birth rate and still birth. I feel smoking during preganacy is completely selfish. YOu are the only protector of your child when that baby is inside you. How can people be so self absorbed? I didn't even breathe second hand smoke when I was preganat and still Mia died. Why would you want to do something that would increase the odds of something horrible happening? Does anyone else feel this way?

Andy, I tried to post you comment but I accidentally hit reject instead of publish. I have not been able to get it back for some reason. I have to say that you are absolutely right. I don't Know that they were for her. I assumed. I shouldn't assume. It's just a tender subject and although i am not bitter or angry with God, It's always going to be something that hits a little close. Thanks for you insight.
it's called *grace* you might want to try it sometime.
anonymous, I don't claim to be perfect. We all have areas where we need to improve. I understand that I came across a bit harsh on that, but that is because of what's happened to me recently. If you are going to post in the future, please include your name.
The reason this person is anonymous is because they feel guilty either because they themselves somked while they were pregnant, or they drank... And it is obviouse to me that they didn't read earlier blogs, if they had they wouldn't have been so stupid. I can't imagine what you have been through, but I think that you are a very strong person to survive as well as you have, I myself am 5 months along, and I fear the worst everyday... I'm healthy, I eat organics, and I exersice regularly, but it is in god's hands to give and take life, no matter how hard we try to understand, we never will... Stay strong
