Crystal, I think that would be a great idea. Don't worry about people getting offended. they could just stop reading. Jsut don't forget to post the warning signs during pregnancy. Good luck!

Maybe you could have few different things. I hand out a lot of book marks because I figure people may not throw them away and if they are really interesed they will come to this web page looking for more info.
I copied them on bright neon orange card stock...They looked really good.

But not everybody has a computer or access to the internet. So, I would suggest something brief but yet informative with the web address (good idea) just in case.

I did something like this a couple of years ago. I was having a garage sale and my daughter was in the SOL splint. I knew that just about every person shopping would be asking what happened to her. So I set out a stack of Brochures and business cards. I found I did as much discussing as I did selling, but felt good that I had reached a lot of people. Also since I listed in the add baby clothes, furniture and toys, I had a large showing of pregnant women. I say go for it and posting a sign about helping to pay for medical expenses is great. I am having another garage sale next month and Emily is now in another strange splint, so I will probably take the same approach.
