National Infant Loss Awareness Day October 15


Today is National infant loss awareness day, tonight we will light the sky with candles, join in and light a candle as soon as it gets dark tonight. Help us raise awareness and join our wave of light. Our angel babies and their families would appreciate it <3 
90,000 children die annually in the United States before their first birthday.
Nearly 2,500 babies are lost/year in the United States due to S.I.D.S.
SIDS is the leading cause of death among babies between 1 month and 1 year of age.
More than 2,000 babies died of SIDS in 2010, the last year for which such statistics are available.
Most SIDS deaths occur when babies are between 1 month and 4 months of age, and the majority (90%) of SIDS deaths occur before a baby reaches 6 months of age. However SIDS deaths can occur anytime during a baby's first year. 
SIDS is a sudden and silent medical disorder that can happen to an infant who seems healthy.
SIDS is sometimes called "crib death" or "cot death" because it is associated with the time frame when the baby is sleeping. Cribs themselves don't cause SIDS, but the baby's sleep environment can influence sleep-related causes of death.
Slightly more boys die of SIDS than do girls. 
In the past, the number of SIDS deaths seemed to increase during the colder months of the year. But today, the numbers are more evenly spread throughout the calendar year.
SIDS rates for the United States have dropped steadily since 1994 in all racial and ethnic groups. Thousands of infant lives have been saved, but some ethnic groups are still at higher risk for SIDS.
Nearly 30,000 babies a year are born stillborn. The number of stillbirths that occur worldwide jumps to more than 4.5 million/year.
More babies die as a result of stillbirth than all other causes of infant death combined.
Stillbirth occurs ten times more frequently than S.I.D.S.15-20% of all clinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage each year.
The average cost to bury a child is $10,000. Yet the average household income in the United States is just over $50,000/year.

°*”˜˜”*°•.?New Release?¸.•°*”˜˜”*°•.?#PrettyThings #PrettySeries By #DonnaAlam#OutNow #Giveaway
Title: Pretty ThingsSeries: The Pretty Series #3Author: Donna Alam

Genre: Erotic RomanceHosted By: Francessca’s Romance Reviews
Synopsis:
If a little trouble only makes for a good time, Kate and Kai should be having a blast . . .
Kate Saunders didn’t believe in happy endings, especially after finding her fiancé between another woman’s thighs. So when she met Kai, she was sure he’d be nothing more than a hot one night stand. Charismatic, dominant and dirty mouthed, Kai wasn’t supposed to be her Prince Charming. Maybe more her Mr Right Now. Against her better instincts, she’d fallen in love.
Kai makes a little wrong look a whole lot of right, but he’s learning that good looks, charm and a talented tongue don’t always get you what you want. Wealth, privilege and family are sometimes their own bonds. It’s not a forbidden love, but it’s a troubled one. One that might force Kai to reveal his not so pretty side . . . 
Join Kate and Kai in Australia as they embark on the final leg of their journey in the heart-pounding, seat squirming, and hilarious conclusion to the trilogy. Lies, secrets and shocking truths will be revealed as they discover the destination isn’t always the most important part of the journey. Sometimes the best bits are just where you get off.

Excerpt 
‘This pussy is mine,’ he growls above me. ‘And I’m going to eat it.’
My breath halts as he moves my underwear aside, his fingers dipping into my wetness and parting me. His mouth is like an arrow, and my centre its bullseye; one brush of his tongue against the swollen point of my clit and I’m ready to come undone, almost immediately.
Soft words blow over my heated centre as he whispers how good I look, splayed out, all twisted with need. How delicious I taste. How he can’t wait for me to come on his tongue.
Kai slides my legs wide as he lifts me to straddle him, my hand slipping between our bodies to direct my descent. His eyes close as my body accepts him, and as he fills me, my moan is long and soft, as though the presence of him inside has expelled all the air from my chest. Kai’s hands are against my hips and he’s completely still, his expression one of agony and ecstasy: a look that’s almost bittersweet.

What Others Are Saying
5 HOT StarsOoh la la! I have been dying to read this book and I was not disappointed. I was so excited to be sitting reading this book. This is book 3 in The Pretty Trilogy and a definite must read. ~ Goodreads Review
What I love about all three books is the way the author writes. You get the feel of the lifestyle and wealth, the exotic location(s) and the characters created. The Epilogue is perfect for Kai and Kate and I am hoping it is not the last we see of them as I am sure there is more to tell. ~ Goodreads Review
This is one thing I look for in a book. I want to be spellbound. I want to sink my teeth into the characters & take myself into their world. To feel this kind of emotion is phenomenal & not something I can feel with every book I read. The author did that with the 3 books in this trilogy. I look forward to future books by this author. ~ Goodreads Review

About The Author
Donna Alam writes about exotic locations and the men you aren't married to, but wish you were. Escapism reads with heart and humour and, of course, plenty of steam.
Hailing from the North of England, she's a nomad at heart moving houses and continents more times than she cares to recall. She once worked at a school like the one described in her Pretty Trilogy. Alas, there were no handsome male protagonists hanging around there.
Eclectic reader and part-time perv, she's a huge fan of smart men, as well as protagonists with a fair measure of inappropriateness.

I could tell you what I like, where I was born, and what my favorite things are.
But instead, I'll say I don't want to write like everyone else. I don't want to craft stories you've read a thousand times before. I want my novels to be a cinematic experience, blending themes, genres, and situations unlike any you've ever read.
I want to break the rules. I want you to break out in a cold sweat as you read my books out of fear, love, and excitement. I want my books to be an experience. When you finish, I want you to feel something. Good or bad.
If you do, then I'll have succeeded. If not, I'll keep trying.Website | Twitter | Facebook | Newsletter | Literary Addicts | Goodreads | Tsu-- Jen Rattie Promotional Book Tours Office Hours: Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm CST Summer Hours: Monday - Friday 11am - 5pm CST | e: jenr.pbt@gmail.com | w: http://www.promotionalbooktours.com Currently accepting PR clients. http://about.me/jrattie Always have your stuff when you need it with @Dropbox.
