Random Reminder

So, after Adelyn died we got all the typical formula coupons in the mail. I had signed up for them all so I could get as much free samples as possible. I planned on breastfeeding, but with Sierra I ran out of the bags I had frozen and could not keep up once I went back to work so I had to supplement. I also got e-mails from them and other places - "congratulations! your baby is here" or "your baby at 1 week." What was awful about the e-mails is I actually enjoyed getting the updates on Sierra every week/month - but this time I had to actually go in my account and "delete" Adelyn from my profile. Ouch. Otherwise, I would continue getting e-mails about what she should be doing each week. No thanks. I hadn't thought about all those e-mails and stuff in the mail.......until today. I thought I called and got off all the mailing lists and e-mail lists. This is what was in my inbox:

All I am thinking is that I am not missing anything - except Adelyn. Can I stock up on her please, Gap? Oh but wait, I do need pants that actually fit me......

This is THE WORST....It has been a year and a half for me and the lady at publix the other day ask me if I wanted to use my baby rewards card...I still get publix baby coupons in the mail because I signed up for that card when i was pregnant with Bethany. It is the reminder that she is not here...It really stinks! I am so sorry I know how bad that hurt!

I still get these and no matter how many times I unsubscribe from them, inevitably, something random pops up. I had one that requested an "unsubscribe reason." There wasn't an option in the drop-down menu so I had to select "Other" and write in, "my daughter died." It was a terrible day!

I got one today "congrats, your baby is 4 months old" sigh.

Dan was so kind to delete all of my accounts and go through my facebook before I came home from the hospital, but I still periodically get formula coupons int he mail which I pass on to friends. It does sting though.

I still get things like this too! How I wish there was a message sent out to make others aware of our loss...that way these things don't come in the mail or email. The fact is that there is no such thing...we have to make others aware every time it comes up. I'm sorry for the awful reminder.
