So my mind has been running non-stop lately, to the point I couldn't sleep last night or even relax today during acupuncture. I've been a little bothered the last few days because I have been having a tough time with the loss of our baby, the molar issue, and just everything. It pains me that miscarriage is such a taboo topic and nobody wants to talk about it. Sure it isn't rainbows and unicorns but is life ever? It hurts when people think that you should just get over it and that it is silly to grieve for such a short life. My baby, Lael Grace may have only survived for 8 weeks and 1 day but that doesn't change the love that I had for her (gut instinct, if not, in heaven my son might be really confused with me) and it doesn't change the fact that it was a life that was lost. So I have decided to write a WOD (workout of the day) for October 15 in support of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. This WOD is for all babies gone too soon. I also decided to write one for our Lael Grace that I will do on May 12, which is the day we found out that we lost her.

Angel Baby WOD
Power Cleans & Burpee Ladder
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
So you do 10 power cleans and 10 burpees, then 9, 8, 7 etc, and then all the way down to 1.

Lael Grace Remembrance WOD
57 Power Snatches for time
Baby Lael lived for about 8 weeks and 1 day so I just figured about 57 days, so 57 reps.
