My name is not August. But when I was pregnant, my due date was August 9th, 2008. After my miscarriage, I started using the name August when signing up for new blogs or forums. For the longest time my grief was such a big part of me, and all I wanted to do was wallow in it while I figured myself out. After several months I found myself rather liking the name. So I've adopted it on the site, not because I want to wallow in my first and (hopefully) only loss, but because it is a large part of me. I changed after the miscarriage, and not precisely in a bad way.
My husband's name really is Marcus, and we have three cats and one ancient pet rat. We live in the city and would someday love to move out into a nice house in the country with lots of space for a dog and a real garden.
My one great passion is to become a mother.
