Starting TWW. Anyone else?

He's doing great. Such a little fatty lol and he's rolling all over now. ??

Thanks!

How's the little man doing? I love all your Facebook pictures. What a cutie!!

I'm so sorry :( hopefully your cycle continues and you get another shot next month.

AF started today...at least it came I guess.

Woo! Fingers crossed!!

Alright! Officially in the TWW!

We are doing the baby dance every other day!!! ?

Sounds like perfect timing!! Amazing news! Prefect timing too! ;)

Well AF arrived last night!! If all goes well I will be ovulating while we are on vacation at the beach! ? maybe we will conceive a beach baby! ?

Aww. That's so wonderful, I know it's hard though!

He's doing great. Been real fussy lately because of teething though. I still get really emotional doing stuff with him knowing I should've already been through all this before. Whenever I tell him I love him I start crying a lot. :(

He's a blessing for sure though. ??

Hopefully you won't need clomid, but either way I'm praying for you. You don't deserve such a struggle. And you have certainly been blessed with Kimber and that brief encounter with the foster girl you took in. You deserve to be blessed even more. ?

Thank you!

Well no period came ?. I was very hopeful this month that I regulated my cycle. Oh well.

I think by our 7 wedding anniversary (June) I will go see my doctor and try to take clomid again...

Regardless I am blessed and the Lord is faithful! ?

How is our little man doing?!

I'm sorry, I know you were looking forward to it. :(

I'm glad too that you got to enjoy a precious child in your home for at last a little while.

I think we might be done with Foster Care. It just hasn't worked out ?. But we are really blessed that we had our little girl for as long as we did before she found a permanent home. ?

That's great! I need to start doing something I feel like a lazy blob lol

Yes, hopefully it kicks starts it again! Anything new on the foster care front? Or is it still at a stand still?

Well, my period is due in a little over a week. I've been working out a lot. Taking walks and hiking and such every day. Hopefully that might have kicked my body back into gear and my period shows up!

Oh that's wonderful news!! I'm so glad! He certainly had a scary start! But he's a trouper!!

Not much new here. ?

So update on his hearing:

He has mild to moderate hearing loss. He reacts good to high pitches, but not good to low pitches. And his nerve response is great. So the official diagnosis is that it's from the fluid buildup in his ears. He said once he gets tubes in his ears and they stay clear his hearing should be normal.

I'm glad your Easter went good. :)

We had a very small low key one this year. It was good though. :)

I'll be praying for his hearing!!!

Our easter was wonderful. We had a great day with my family!

How about yours?

I'm sorry :( I'm sure it's hard and I pray that it doesn't stay that way. ❤

We're doing good. His hearing test is on the 9th to see the extent of his hearing loss. So, nervous about that.

How was your Easter? Do anything fun?

What about you?! How's our little man doing?! ?

We have been doing well. Trying to get used to a life without kids ?. It's been hard, but good. Trying to find new dreams and new adventures!

I can understand that. I'm hoping you get your miracle soon. ❤

We aren't too sure about that. Right now we definitely don't think that's where God is leading us. But I don't know what the future holds...

Still praying for a miracle rainbow baby...

I'm sorry for your loss Amber

I'm so sorry for your loss as well! Praying you conceive quickly and are filled with peace!!

Doing alright here. Waiting to see if AF shows up next week. I had a good streak! I'm hoping it comes back.

We are feeling like we might not conceive again. ? It has been hard TTC for so long since Kimber died and continually failing.

We won't ever stop hoping for it. But we might be stopping actively trying to conceive ?

Read through the entire thread. I'm so sorry for your losses. My husband and I lost our first born Jackson Lee, 1/15/15 at 17 weeks. We're ttc again and are scared. Good luck to those of you still trying and congrats to those lucky enough to get their rainbows.

How are you ladies doing?

I'm sorry, that sucks. :(

I hope so too that it continues to regulate for you.

Thank you :) he's definitely a cutie

Going on 11 days late and bfn today. So definitely out of luck this month. Hopefully my period shows up on time in a few weeks and we can have a chance again.

Loving all your pics of baby Vincent. He's so handsome!!

Thank you Sugar Mamma. :)

My rainbow was born Jan 2015. We have a few ladies in the thread ttc theirs. Unfortunately we're all connected the same way and have been helping and supporting each other through our journeys.

It'll happen, the journey getting there is the hard part though. Don't give up faith ❤ keep us updated. :) Prayers for you.

I'm so sorry to hear that. That must be the hardest to go through, I know miscarriages are but a sleeping angel would kill me :( but i love your positive thoughts on this and your trying again. You give so much inspiration to us all. Sending lots if sticky baby dust for you hun!

Thanks Leah for the suggestion. A coworker suggested wine! She said it just takes the edge off, and then DH and I can just have fun. I am back and forth between "it'll happen when it happens" and "I want it to happen now!!" I think the less I focus on it, the easier it'll happen.

I'm so sorry Katharine :( I was so hopeful for you

5 days late and still BFN. ?

Guess I'm out for this month and my period streak is over. ?

You never know. Still praying for a positive for you! You could've ovulated or implante s a little later than you thought. Fx!

Well no AF yet, but still no BFP. Tomorrow is 14 DPO.

Most likely AF will show up a couple days late.

Oh well :-(

Fx for Sunday! :)

Leah Elizabeth Johnston

My profile pic is black and white of me holding Liliana in the hospital.

I'm so sorry for your loss Sarah. I'm praying that you get your bfp quickly!

Leah, I do have facebook! What's your last name so I can look you up?

We shall see in two days what is what!! Sunday is the day!

Congrats Mindy!!!

Thank you :)

Sadly Sarah it seems to happen quite often. It just isn't talked about much. :/

I'm so sorry for your losses. It'll get "better", it'll still be hard and you'll have some bad days, but they'll happen less often. I still have days where I just sit in my room alone and cry for my baby girl.

Ttc after a loss can be stressful and emotional. The time I got pregnant after losing my daughter it was the one month I actually allowed myself to have fun and enjoy myself. I absolutely believe that's what allowed me to get pregnant because the next day I felt implantation. Try to relax (easier said than done) and enjoy yourselves.

On fb there is a private group called S.O.B.B.S (Stories of Babies Born Still) it's full of women and the occasional man who have had a stillborn child/ren. It's been a safe place for many to share there stories, vent, and give support. They also have a sister group for ttc after having a stillborn baby.

Omg Mindy congratulations!!!

I'm pregnant :)

Wow, ladies, my husband and I lost our first born son at 37 weeks in November and also just started TTC. I had a miscarriage the previous January, (New Years eve/day, way to ring in 2014, and it ended on a pretty s****y note, too). I read some of the posts, but wanted to share my story, because I couldn't believe it had happened to so many others as well! The last two times I was pregnant, we got pregnant the first time we tried, so it was devastating when AF decided to pay me a visit yesterday. Now we are just wondering if it's best to abstain from trying until I ovulate or just start trying again as soon as AF leaves and just enjoy our sexy time... We've never had to "try" before, really and don't really know what's best! You'd think I had this figured out by now, being 34 and all!! Best of luck to you other mamas!

Do you have IG or FB Katharine? If so you can add me if you'd like. :)

Did you get af Mindy? Or a positive?

Ooo fx Katharine!! Hope that witch stays away!

AF due in 4 days!!

Post more pics soon!!! ?

Praying you get your BFP!!!

No I didn't

Did you happen to take zofran with him??

Fx!!

I'm doing good. Enjoying my baby while sleep deprived. Lol

Ad is due tomorrow, hoping she doesn't show ;) how are you??

Have fun tomorrow on your date out! :) Katharine

And nope, no sleep for me lol but for the best reason. Doing his pictures next weekend. I am crocheting him little outfits :D so excited.

Mindy how's it going? Any af yet? I hope not. Fingers crossed for you. Remember it only takes one time.

5 day's until af is supposed to show, really not feeling pregnant and I don't want to test as we missed a few day's in my fertile week :(

Not much, my hubby had to work. But he did give me flowers and a card and chocolate covered strawberries before he left! :-)

We are actually celebrating this coming Saturday because he is off. It should be fun!

What about you? Anything fun, like Sleeping?! Haha!

Thank you!

How was your vday? Do anything fun?

Thanks!!

Happy Valentines Day to you and your two men!! ?

I'm sorry :(

Waiting is the hardest. Praying for you ❤

It's not really our choice...we are just waiting and waiting, for lots of things.

Uhg, I hate the waiting!

Doing good, a bit sleep deprived lol

You two are almost on the same cycle. I've got my fingers crossed for both of you!

Is it that you're not wanting to foster right now or that they don't have anyone for you?

I'm in my tww again.

How are you guys doing?!

Heading into ovulation week here. We shall see.

Foster care seems to be at a stand-still. I think we might be finished with it, I'm not sure though.

Thank you :) they definitely share some traits. He looks a little more like me and Liliana looked a little more like my bf. ❤ Her stone should be done here soon, nervous to see it.

I'm sorry :( you don't deserve to have to go through all this waiting and trying constantly. I've been praying that you get your rainbow soon and I'll continue to do so. Hopefully your cycle continues to be regular.

How's it going on the foster care front? How are you doing otherwise?

He is so handsome Leah!! Cute chubby cheeks! He looks so much like his big sister! I'm so happy for you!

AF came yesterday....oh well.

I posted a picture if you wanted to see it. Just search under my posts.

Fingers crossed for you ladies! I'll be praying you get good baby news. ❤☝

I'm doing well! Just waiting a couple more days to see if I get a BFP or AF comes...we shall see

Thank you! She feels so much better, how are you doing??

I hope your daughter feels better Mindy!

I hope you get your BFP soon!

Oh, I just realized that you wrote! I missed it!

Everything sounds so wonderful!! Praise the Lord!

I'm so happy for you. I know it was a rough start but what a blessing!

AF is due in 5 days...we shall see!!

I had some stomach pains/cramping randomly last night...maybe it's wishful thinking but it could have been implantation. I've never gotten period cramps like that.

I'm so happy for you!!! Baby Vincent has the best parents!! (And best big sister!!)

I hope you guys are still doing well!!

So glad you made it home :) my period is due in a few day's, I'm sadly not looking forward to it but who is haha. I'm taking my 5 year old daughter to the doctor tomorrow, hoping we get some answers on why she keeps having this dry cough.

I'm so sorry I've taken forever to reply! He keeps me busy. Lol

We are home! Got home last night. He is doing great and is such a good baby! *knock on wood*

We have a few follow up appointments with some of the specialists in the next few months. I'll have to find a forum to post his picture for you to see. I'll let you know when I do. :)

How's it going with you?? Anything new?

That is great news!! I've been thinking about you constantly.

Oh my goodness Leah!!! Praise the Lord!!! I am so beyond happy to hear all this wonderful news!

I know it will be a hard journey but I know you're the best mommy for little Vincent! And you'll all fight together to keep him strong :-).

Sorry been such a long few days.

We ended up getting lucky and they had a private room open up when we got here so we've been sharing a room with him and have been able to feed and change him. We found a bottle he liked and he's been eating so much better. He had some jaundice as well but looks like it's gone down. We had a neonatal dr, geneticist, speech therapist and plastic surgeon all look over him. They are all very optomistic. The geneticist is running a few tests to be sure but said it may just be a cleft palate were dealing with and not a symptom of a bigger issue. And the surgeon said he wouldn't need surgery until about a year old so it won't effect his speech. Also since his breathing isn't effected and he's eating good. She said he may need tubes in his ears later on as he is more prone to ear infections. We're waiting on a few test results, but if everything goes good we will be going home tomorrow afternoon!!

How is baby Vincent doing? How are you?

I'm praying for you Leah!!! I know it must be so so hard to go through this!!

But Vincent is alive! And he is just having a little bit of a hard time getting going!! He will get the help that he needs and be wonderful!!!

God has a plan, and I know it's hard and scary, but they have really doable plans to fix the problems that little Vincent has!!!

Prayers, will you be able to go with him???

Pediatrician stopped by and he's sending the baby to the children's hospital a few hours away. He's not eating enough. He said he doesn't know how long it will be for, that they have a team who will look him over and see what and if anything needs to be done. He'll be going today. I can't stop crying. Why can't I just have a healthy baby. I'm so scared. Idk what to do.

I hope your cycle stays regular and you ovulate. Fingers crossed! Keep me updated.

Baby Vincent was born 1-13-15! They induced because my blood pressure was going up and down. I was 37w2d. They didn't use any pitocin or cervidil(?). Since I was contracting on my own they just broke my water and let it progress natural. Once I hit around 6cm I dilated so quick. No epidural for me and boy did that hurt! Lol

He was 7lbs 0.4oz and was 19". Only 3oz more than Liliana and both the same length. All the Drs kept commenting on how big he was for 37 weeks. Lol

He has a few issues. He has a minor cleft palate which is not external, but it's in the roof of his mouth, it's a small hole. It affects his feeding. He has good suckling reflex, but he can't create a seal, because of the hole, to have a powerful enough suction. He has to use a special nipple and bottle. And he takes a LONG time to eat. He also has micrognathia. It means small jaw. It makes it so his tongue falls back easily. He has to lay at an incline or on his side. Pediatrician wants to keep him a bit to make sure his feeding and breathing aren't too affected. But said everything seems to be looking pretty good. He has so much hair! And is so lazy and just sleeps. Haha

How have you been doing?

Nothing new to report here. Hopefully I will be ovulating in about a week, but we shall see!

H

I totally understand! I ordered Kimber's stone and it came in a few months after his funeral. It was hard, but I love his stone so much! I'm glad that he has made a physical mark on the world!

Praying that it's just what you wanted! I'm sure it's beautiful!!

Today was an emotional day for me. I finally ordered Liliana's headstone. I'm actually a little excited to see it when it's done. I haven't been to her grave since the funeral, but I plan to go once the stone is placed. It's just too hard and emotional for me still, but I always feel so guilty for not going.

I'm so sorry :( I know how horrible it is to get your hopes up. I'm glad your cycle is regulating though, that's one thing on the plus side. I will continue praying and keeping my fingers crossed that you get a bfp soon. I know it's hard, but try to relax and have some "me" time. Or go out and have a few drinks to loosen up. I'm not a drinker at all, but the one month I let loose is when it happened this last time. I'm so sorry ((hugs)) ❤ ❤

AF showed up that night :-(. I know it's good that I've had 4 cycles in a row. I haven't have 4 in a row for 5 years, since we started TTC. It just hurts.

Thanks. Yeah, I was so sure that this was our month too :-(.

I started spotting today...so I think AF is coming.

I guess it's good that I've had it for 4 months in a row...oh well.

I'm so sorry Katharine :(

I was so positive this was your month. I still have hope that it's just too early.

BFNs are devastating to get. Prayers ❤

I really had a lot of hope that I was pregnant. The BFN just hurt so much :-(

Well I took a test this morning. It was a BFN. Pretty disappointed :-(. I know it could still be too early (3 days until my period is due), but I was really hoping for a New Years Eve surprise. :-(

Oh my gosh I'm so nervous and excited for you! Good luck! Keep my updated.

I'm testing tomorrow morning!!!

We want to tell everyone (my immediate family) on New Years Eve if we find out...I'm so nervous!

When do you test? I'm so anxious for you!

Last year's was worse for me. This year we didn't do much, not that I felt like doing much anyways. But it was as good as it could be.

How exciting! I'm really hoping this is your month. Would be such an awesome New Years gift! Prayers and baby dust your way! ☝?

It was good. The morning was hard for me :-(. But once I got going it was easier.

I hope yours was wonderful too!

We should find out within this next week I'm I'm pregnant!!

I feel so excited about it, I just want to be pregnant!

How's your Christmas going? I hope it was as wonderful as it could be. ???

Ahh!! How exciting! Fingers crossed big time for you! :D

EEEK!!! Ovulation test was positive today!!!

Aww. You should decorate and celebrate! You have a sweet little boy to celebrate!

Even when Christmas is hard we have to remember that the reason for celebrating of because of Jesus' birth! Because of his great gift!

But I understand your feelings. That was how I felt last year. I'm sure next year will be wonderful with your little boy!

We spend a lot of time with family at Christmas. I really love our families.

That's what I'm here for! :P

Fingers crossed this month is your month! Maybe Santa will bring you a bfp ;)

Not really. Just hanging home, being sad. :/ lol

Not decorating or anything this year. Hopefully next year when I have something (someone) to celebrate.

What about you? What are you up to?

Thanks for understanding!! And commiserating with me!

I should be ovulating any day now...just a waiting game. :-/

Any fun plans for Christmas?!

Well hopefully you don't have to wait too long for another Foster child. So exciting. :)

Two more months! But hopefully he comes around 38 weeks. I know I'll be super anxious if he goes passed that.

I totally get what you mean. I'm.sorry :( that must be so tough.

My sister was 6 months when I lost Liliana. I still cringe when anyone mentions them or someone else is pregnant. I then dread their gender reveals.

Don't feel bad or guilty for feeling the way you do. It's totally understandable and normal. I'm praying you get another miracle soon.

Well, on a side note my sister-in-law told me she was pregnant today.

I'm not exactly handling it well...I mean, I'm very excited about having another niece or nephew...but it feels extremely unfair that they got pregnant after only being married for 4 months. And they are living with my parents because they can't afford an apartment, or health insurance, or anything.

It feels very overwhelming and frustrating and it's made me feel really awful, and then I felt awful because I felt awful about it. :-(. Anyway...just keep us in your prayers :-(

Praying your still doing well!! So excited for your baby boy to join you!!

I started the clomid yesterday! Eek!! We shall see!

It is just totally random on when we might get another placement. It all depends of which foster parents are best suited for the children (location, space restrictions, family size). So we really never know.

Aww, I hope it's permanent especially for the holidays.

Is it just random when you'll get another Foster kid or did they give you a time frame? What a wonderful experience for you guys.

When are you starting the clomid?

Foster care has been a wonderful experience! Our foster daughter was placed in a (hopefully) more permanent home right before thanksgiving. Praying we get a more permanent placement soon :-)

Thank you essence :)

Baby is good and getting bigger everyday lol

31 weeks now! So close!

That sucks for your hubby but glad the rest was good :)

Mine was good. Just ate with the in laws and had a lazy day at home. :)

Yay Congrats! (So weird to congratulate on that lol)

I'll be having my fingers and toes crossed big time for you!! Keep me updated on how it goes!

Im praying for both you guys! This post is so helpful to me and shows that time can heal all wounds!

Hows the baby?

Hows the fostering?

Good news here, I got my period today! This is the third month in a row without using meds! I haven't had three periods in a row in years!!!

We are thinking of using Clomid this cycle...

I completely understand!! I'll pray you go into labor just a little early :-)

Our Thanksgiving was really nice! My hubby works Loss Prevention in retail so he had to be at work at 4pm. Uhh! But other than that it was wonderful!!

How was yours?

Ahh happy late bday!! Wine tasting sounds yummy and fun! How was your Thanksgiving? :)

I love the snow, but hate the cold lol I was born in Washington State, but I do love my California weather way better. ;)

Feb 2nd :) I'm 31w1d tomorrow! :O Getting close. Kind of nervous. I hope he comes naturally around the time I was induced with Liliana (38 weeks). I'm not sure I could handle going passed that or heaven forbid, be overdue! Lol

Well my birthday was this past Sunday. It was a wonderful day. My hubby took me wine tasting! It was so much fun!

We finally got snow today! I was hoping for it on my birthday but I'll take 3 days later! I LOVE the snow!

How are you doing?! It's getting close! When's you're actual due date again?

Haha, yeah I'm in love with my apple products!

Hopefully lol

You didn't, but I'll check it out when I get on my ipad. :)

I have an android phone so I can't click the link. Boooo lol

Well that's good! It will probably also make labor easier too!

Nothing real new. Just getting along. :-)

Have a mentioned I'm a blogger?

Here is my blog if you're interested :-)

http://riches-torags.blogspot.com/?m=1

Yeah I've been just having to suck it up... literally lol since I've upped it I haven't been getting as many bh and his movements have slowed and got softer. I think because he isn't irritated by the contractions.

How's everything with you? Anything new?

Yeah, but at least it's an easy fix!! It's not so much fun, but it's better than a ton of meds :-)

Going good here too :)

I need to up my water intake by a lot because I keep.getting bracton hicks which makes baby show signs of irritation during my NSTs. :/ I hate drinking anything. Yuck lol

Everything is going well here!

How are things with you going?!

I'm really glad too that my dr is taking such care and precaution. It really helps with my anxiety. We haven't discussed the labor part, but I think she's just kind of seeing how it progresses. I want to go naturally, but if I get too stressed I'm sure she'll be more than willing to induce me. At this point I'm not even 100% sure of what I want to do.

That's so great that she's settling in good! I know how hard it can be, especially to be separated from your sibling while in a new place. I was in foster care when I was younger with my little brother and sister. I was in the awkward stage where I was either too old or too young and got moved around a lot. Eventually they placed me and my brother together. My sister was too little, but they let us see her on bdays and such. It's such a great thing you're doing. :) I hope they're able to find a home for all of them to be together.

Oh my gosh!! I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that! I'm sure it was really awful emotionally!

I'm so glad you and baby Vincent at healthy and safe!! It sounds like you have good doctors who are on the ball!!

Just wondering if they plan on inducing you? My doctors mentioned that since I had a stillbirth with my next pregnancy they would induce me.

Everything is going really well with our little girl! She is adjusting well and we love her already. She is missing her brothers, who are in another home (they couldn't find a home for all three of them :-( )

Her case worker is working hard on finding all three of them a home together.

I think so too. The counting down and just knowing it was coming up made it harder I think.

Not to mention that baby Vincent decided to be a typical little brother and get jealous of all the attention his sister was getting. He decided to get some of his own. I ended up at L&D for 8+ hours. I started getting contractions. They weren't painful, but I was getting a lot. They think either dehydration or stress is what brought them on. They gave me fluid through an IV and a shot to stop them. My fFN test to check for early labor came back negative and I wasn't dilating so they sent me home. I also got an ultrasound because Dr thought the fluid around baby was too high but thankfully ot came back okay. Wasn't a good day at all... :/

I start my 2x weekly NSTs on Monday and just started my 2 week Dr appts. Dr also mentioned getting a detailed ultrasound every month.

How's everything going with you? How'sthe little girl doing?

That's how I felt about Kimber's birthday too. I actually felt that the anticipation of it was worse than the actual day. As much as I cried and missed him, it was also healing to celebrate his life and remember him.

Thank you so much Katharine!

Thanks Julia!!!!!

I just read through this amazingly supportive thread. I hope that the fostering goes well. What a wonderful way to share your love. Take care both of you.

I know it's so unbelievably hard. :-(. I'm sorry you have to go through this, I'm sorry we both have to.

Liliana will be remembered always in your hearts!

Thinking of you today and especially tomorrow!! Praying for peace!

Oh that's awesome! Congratulations!! Even if she's just there temporarily I'm sure she's a blessing to have around. :) I'm so happy for you.

The nursery has been on a stand still lol but finally got some paint. Now to bribe my hubby and FIL to do it haha

Took my glucose test today, yuck! :(

I start my NSTs next week.

Today is the 1 yr anniversary of Liliana's passing. Her birthday is the 5th. ? today has been okay, a little emotional. I'm sure her bday will be a lot harder.

So everything went well and we were officially approved last week!

Two days later we got a call about emergency temporary care for a little four year old girl!!

It's been a crazy whirlwind week but she's been wonderful and we've been having a great time together.

It's just respite care, so she'll be placed elsewhere permanently sometime soon.

There have been a lot of challenges, but it's been great overall :-)

I hope you're still soon great!

How's the nursery coming along?

That sucks :/

Hopefully next year you get your vacation.

So the homestudy is today? Good luck, even though I know you guys will do great!

How'd the follow up appt go?

Baby is good :) I fell on my knees yesterday so my Dr had me do an 8 HOUR NST! Lol but baby was fine and plucked away the whole time.

I'm 25w5 days. I'll be 26w on Monday.

Haven't got our paint yet. I am going to paint it a light grey and we have these big shelves that are amazing. The decor is bright colorful things. Like different colored frames and baskets and such. Wish I could show you photos.

His temp nursery that is connected to my room, where he'll be staying for the beginning with his bassinet. In there the room is a light green and he has some Pooh Bear boxes to hold things.

We sent rescheduling because I was in such horrible pain that my husband had to use up all his vacation to take care of me :-(. Pretty disappointing!

We finished up our last class! And our home study is 3 days away.

My last follow-up Dr appt is on Wednesday. I'm ready to be done with doctors and hospitals!

How's everything going?! How's the nursery coming along? Do you have any sort of theme?

Exactly how many weeks are you now?

:-)

Yay for almost being finished! I bet you and your husband are excited! :)

That's great your healing goodness being in pain is no fun.

Are you going to reschedule your vacation since you didn't get to go?

Aww. Yay!! It's amazing just how much they grow in the next few months!!

I lit a candle as well! Thinking of all of us who lost our sweet ones :-(

Our home study was postponed due to a freak crazy rainstorm. We will have it next Friday. We are about to head to our last training class. (Yay!).

Still healing (slowly). Feeling pretty good most of the time. I get really tired so quickly and achy a lot. But I'm getting there!

Went to the specialist for my anatomy scan. Everything looks good! Baby is 1lb and 9oz

I'm so glad that you're healing good! Being in pain sucks!

I am doing alright! Not too much pain at all! Ibuprofen takes care of any soreness I have. Thank The Lord!

Finally on the road to being normal again :-)

That's amazing! A new adventure for you. So exciting :)

How are you healing up? Hope you're not in pain anymore.

Aww yay for decorating the nursery!!

We are having our final home study on Wednesday and then we just have to take our final training class (we missed it because I was in the ICU) and then we are licensed foster parents!!

However they tried placing children with us the day I was admitted to the hospital and obviously we couldn't do that. So really, we could get a placement at any time!

Which is crazy!!!

Oh my word! You sure have been through a lot lately. I hope you start feeling better and the pain goes away! And yay for the period, but sucky timing :P

I'm glad they caught that something was wrong before it got more serious. How's everything on the adoption front? Have they done the last interview yet?

Everything is going good here. :) I am way over stocked on baby clothes from nb-3mos. Lol

I hope to paint the nursery soon so I can decorate it. I'm excited about it since I didn't get the chance to do one last time.

Uhg, things actually got way worse for me :-(.

As you know I had my gallbladder removed 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately my pain progressed and got worse after the surgery and no pain meds could help. Last Thursday after seeing multiple Drs a CAT scan revealed fluid build up in my abdomen. I was sent immediately to the ER and they quickly discovered I was far sicker than anyone initially thought. I was in excruciating pain due to fluid build up and a gallstone lodged in my common duct. Procedures were done to remove the stone, repair the leak, and drain the fluid. They drained 9 liters of fluid from my abdomen. All the procedures went perfectly, but I was under resuscitated - meaning I didn't have enough fluid in my body to recover. I was intubated and kept sedated for almost 4 days while they rehydrated my body. On Monday the sedation was lifted enough that I woke up and took out my own tube (not recommended! But it got the job done :-)). Since Monday I have been progressing perfectly and am being discharged from the hospital today.

I am still in some pain due to being still for so long and normal post-op pain. But I am on the road to feeling better!!

Oh and the best part?! Totally got my period on Monday while in the ICU!! Haha. Suckiness!! But am so glad it's over!

How's everything with you?! How's baby Vincent? I think Rambo is a completely adorably cute and meaningful name! Go for it! :-)

Oh that's horrible! How are you feeling now? That really sucks about your vacation. Hopefully you can go on your vacation soon.

Tomorrow I call to see if my referral went through so I can see a specialist for my anatomy scan. Baby's name is Vincent after my bf. The middle name isn't official yet. We're kind of stuck on Rambo. Lol. Someone said something about this being my rainbow baby. Vincent asked what that meant so I told him. He then said the baby's middle name should be rainbow and I told him it was to girly. He then got quiet for a minute and said, "rainbow. Rambo.. oh, Rambo"! Haha

And yes he sure does kick up a storm! :P

Well, as excited as I was about vacation I was actually not able to go :-(.

I ended up having to have my gallbladder removed due to severe pain and gallstones. :-(. So my husband and I stayed home from the beach so I could recover from surgery. I've been in so much pain!

And since then I've developed some excruciating pain in my neck/shoulder because they either pulled my arm or positioned me badly during surgery. :-(. Even the big pain killers don't even take the edge off the pain.

It's been a very rough week. The only time is doesn't hurt is when I lay on my side. So I've been laying on my side for 5 straight days. :-(

Tomorrow I go see an ortho dr and get X-rays done. Praying that they'll find answers!!

The small silver lining is that thankfully I wasn't pregnant because that is really horrible for the baby and causes all sorts of complications.

How is everything going with you?!

Feeling the baby a lot? Officially decided on a name yet?

Any updates Katherine? How are you doing?

How was the vacation? Hope you had fun!

How exciting about the vacation! Relaxation will do you good :)

No real news here either. I've a Dr appt tomorrow and I'll find out when my anatomy schedule is going to be with the specialist.

How are you doing Mama? No new news to report here. Just a waiting game.

We'll be going on vacation next week to the beach! I'm excited about that!!

Oh such a hard day. Happy heavenly bday to sweet Kimber.

I completely understand.

Today is my sweet Kimber's birthday. It's such a hard day. We got a little Mickey and Pluto statue for his memorial garden. I miss him so much. :-(

We are going to the hospital to donate special outfits for babies like mine and yours.

Hopefully time works I. Both our hearts as we so miss our babies!

Thank you.

Oh Leah! I feel like I know exactly how you feel! I obviously haven't been there yet but I can completely understand. I think that's how I would feel!

I'm sorry that you have to feel everything so raw :-(

I know it will be wonderful and you will be able to bring your little boy home with you!!!

So I just did my gender ultrasound yesterday. It's a boy. Me and my bf "knew" but we were still hoping for another girl. We're kind of in shock still. It was a really emotional moment. I started crying and he really teared up too. We just kept thinking about when we went to find out the sex of Liliana.

I'm not unhappy but I'm not going to lie I am a bit disappointed. We've just been so ready to bring a girl home and knowing that we aren't going to again really hit me hard. I'm still happy for this baby of course, but it's hard. We kind of feel like what are we going to do with a boy. Will take some time for me to.adjust emotionally and mentally, but I'm still excited, hesitant, but excited at what's to come.

They haven't set it up yet. But I'll let you know! :-)

How awesome!! And of course it went great! Whens the next home study again?

We had our home study yesterday! Our case worker came with her regional director and they look over everything and said everything looked great. Just one more visit and will be be good to go!!!!!!

Thank you sweetpea :)

Katharine: oh bummer that sucks :/ hopefully it doesn't get pushed back again.

And thank you ;) it's nice to chat with someone who understands how we've been affected.

Uhg, our home study was cancelled. Our case worker was on call and she had something happen. Hopefully we will get to do it on Monday.

Thank you SweetPea

Yes, things are going pretty smoothly. I'll keep you updated :-). Thanks for keeping in touch!!

Omg, I'm so sorry to all of you that had stillborns, my heart goes out to you. Try to stay positive and prayers to you and your families.

That's great it went good! Haha I was thinking they'd ask questions like that too. How embarrasing if they do lol I'd feel like a teenager. :P

So only 1-2 left that's exciting!! I have no doubts that you'll pass. Seems to be moving along pretty steadily :)

A few times I have. Certain times I'll have a brief period where I feel baby a few times then other times there are days between when I feel it. :) I hope this next month flies by but I have a feeling it'll slow down because I am being impatient lol

Goodness gracious! Autocorrect made that last post a disaster! Sorry!

Well our home study went really well. Our case worker is really nice. It wasn't as personal as I thought it might be so hat was good. Haha. I kept thinking she was going to ask us about our axe life or something!!

Our next home study is scheduled for this coming Saturday. She said she'll have a lot more questions for us then. And hopefully that might be the last one! But it's not unlikely we will have one more.

Our last training class is Sept 27 so after that we should be certified and ready to go!!!

It's so exciting! 16 weeks! Have you felt the baby move yet? I remember with Kimber I didn't feel him move until 19 weeks!

Oh boo :( I'm so sorry

How'd the interview go? I'd be so nervous, I hate "official" people asking personal questions. Yikes lol I hope it went really well! How many more interview things after this one again?

We're doing great thanks! :)

I find out gender hopefully in like 4 weeks. I'm 16 weeks now. I haven't gained any weight at all yet. Last time I gained a lot lol

Well intuition was wrong and I'm not pregnant. Oh well!

But our second home study is scheduled for Saturday morning. This is the one where they aka us super personal questions the whole time (or at least that's what I'm told haha).

How are you and baby doing?!?!

Hopefully your intuition is right and third times the charm! Fx!

If it doesn't work are you going to do the next step?

How exciting!!! :D

So sometime by the end of the year hopefully? How long has the process been for you? I heard it is kind of a long one. Glad you're almost done!

Aww. I really like those names!! How exciting!!!

Uhg, yes just one more week! Last night I had this overwhelming feeling that I was pregnant. It kind of freaked me out a little. I've only ever had that feeling once before and I really played into it and let myself really hope and I for my period that same night (early!). So I guess I think it's unlikely I'm pregnant. Although I guess there is always a chance.

I've taken Clomid twice before and it hasn't worked. They say if you've taken it 3 times then they recommend doing IUI or IVF.

So I guess we shall see.

Our home study went pretty well! They came and looked at our house and asked a bunch of questions.

We will have 3 more studies to do in our home and once we complete our training classes and our backgrounds come back we will be certified and could receive a child any day!! Sept 27 is our last class. So we are good to go after that!

One week left! Fingers crossed x

How nerve wrecking! Is this like a one time thing? (hopefully it works this first time :P).

That's exciting? Have you had the home study yet??

Is it just like an interview type thing?

I'm doing great thank you! I have the same symptoms as last time, but just a bit more intense. Especially my meat aversion. Lol

I have a feeling baby is a boy but I'm kinda hoping for another girl. We have everything ready girl. We have to start from scratch if baby is a boy ha

And as for names, for a girl I was thinking Emily. And for a boy I was thinking Vincent after daddy. :)

I'm doing alright! Took the Clomid and will hopefully be ovulating and day now! We will see how it does in about 2 weeks.

I'm super emotional though. If that's a sign of ovulation than it's definitely happening haha.

We are moving forward with the adoption process, we have our home study on Monday (only 1 week!!)

How are you guys? How are you feeling? Any names picked out?

How'd your clomid go Katharine?? How are you doing?

I'm doing great thank you! :) some tiredness, nausea and an aversion to cooked meat lol

Dr said once I hit about 27 weeks I will be doing NSTs every third day. So about twice a week.

That's great af came, but sucky it was making up for all the missed ones. How exciting that you're going to start ttc again soon! I'll be crossing my fingers and toes for you :)

10 weeks now huh?! How are you doing?

I finally took provera to induce a period and AF came with a vengeance! Extremely heavy! Can't wait to be finished and start the clomid (Friday I start Clomid!)

Thank you!

Can't wait for your turn!

Aww. That's so wonderful!!! So happy for you!

That sucks it still hasn't came on it's own. I hope that works for you! I'll be praying for you guys

Things have been pretty much the same lately. Waiting on my period to show up (it's been 2 months).

Starting in July we are going to take provera (to induce a period) and Clomid (to induce ovulation) and then we will see where we're at.

How are you doing?! How the little sticky bean?!

How have you been Katharine??

Thank you PPmom! :)

Congrats! H&h 9 months!

Thank you x)

I hope it rubs off onto you!

I'm so happy for you Leah!!! That's such wonderful news!!

Congratulations!!

Keep me updated!!

I got my bfp! And definitely stronger than last time :) calling Dr tomorrow. I don't drink but this month I let loose one night and I think that might've helped because the next day I felt strong implantation pain. :)

Good luck! Keep me updated! That just might do the trick :) like when people, who just get off BC, conceive fairly quick. I hope your body regulates it soon! Prayers

How did it go? Did AF show?

Currently going on second month with no AF (sucky sucky). We took a break from medications this month and are hoping to start fresh in July (praying that my cycle regulates on it's own!)

Af is due today. Hoping it stays away.

Thank you

Thank you! Praying for you guys as well!

Thank you I hope so too :)

Oh yes that's right. I'm sorry :( I don't know why the most worthy tend to have the hardest time :( I'm really praying that you get your angel baby soon.

Yes, I'll probably try that later too. Definitely need some bravery first.

Praying you got that egg!!!!

Ehg, I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) so I have cysts on my ovaries that mess with my hormones all the time :-(

It took over two years to conceive my son, but only one round of clomid. I was pretty hopeful when we started the clomid again, but round 3 and nothing :-(. Who knows...

That really sucks :(

Do you know why it's being so irregular?

No luck here either. I just started my tww for this month so hopefully I got a sticky one this time.

I didn't watch it. I want to, but I've been really emotional lately and just the preview had me a mess. I am planning to stream it later on when I'm feeling brave.

Well we aren't pregnant :-(. And my period is still not coming. So sucky :-/.

What about you? Any luck?

I didn't catch the premier of it! We actually don't have cable :-/. How was it? Really hard?

Hey Katharine. How are you doing? Any luck last cycle?

Did you happen to catch the premier of Return to Zero?

I understand about the niece and nephew thing too. It's hard being around them, but at the same time a little healing.

Yes even though are family and friends try to understand our grief they never will, God forbid.

Thank you Katharine! Happy Mother's Day to you too!!

I dont get the tww can spmeone please explain this?

Happy Mother's Day sweet friend...I'm so sorry we have to experience this awful pain...praying for us both today.

I know. It's completely unfair.

I'm so glad I can talk to you too!! No one in my family had ever had to deal with this (they haven't even struggled to get pregnant). So it's so impossible to explain it to them. I know they miss Kimber too and are very sad he's gone. And they try to be supportive.

But it's hard to feel so alone on our grief.

My sister had her 3rd baby right before Kimber was born. It was really hard for me. But I found that in the moment it was easier to be there for her and take care of her and help with the baby and her other kids. I love my nieces and nephew so so much. It was easier than if it were someone else. And sometimes you can go home and cry...but it gets a little easier each time.

I'm glad to have someone to talk to that truly understands how I feel. It's nice to be able to feel the way I do and not feel like I have to explain it 20 different ways and them still not understand. 6 months to the day of her actual passing away I had my hubby's friend ask me where the baby was. He's an older man and apparently he "forgot" that she died. I hadn't seen him since I was pregnant.

My sister I'd due any day now with her 3rd baby and in not sure how I am going to feel. I'm happy for her, but it also hurts. She's one her 3rd and I don't even have one baby to take home. She's been really understandable and tries not to "rub it in my face". But once he's here I can't ignore his existence anymore. I don't know how to be there for her and keep it together...

Why do we have to go through this? It's not fair.. :'(

Oh I know. :-( sometimes it feels like they have gone back to normal and we haven't and they expect us to be "normal" again too. Like being hurt with other babies and pregnant women. They don't think that it hurts us so much. But it does. Every woman with a child is just a reminder about what we dreamed about that for 9 months and what was ripped from us :-(

Somedays it just feels so lonely to be so confused and so hopeless about TTC.

Thanks :) I hope you get yours too! That must make ot so much harder to have a wonky cycle :( tww is hard enough without not knowing when af is supposed to show.

Yes I have been bitter a lot. Bf doesn't really understand. He actually told me that he doesn't like how I changed and the attitude I get. (I only get attitude whenever they mention someone who they just found out is pregnant or is in labor). I don't get why they think I want to hear it. They've noticed a correlation but instead of telling me stuff like that they tell me I shouldn't act like that towards that type of news. I used to be the first to greet and kid or baby but they forget about that and make me out to be a Scrooge towards kids. :(

Can you believe we're almost to a year since they passed. :( it still seems like it just happened. I got discouraged with trying after my chemical. I'm not so discouraged anymore as I'm just not all gung-ho this time. Hopefully me relaxing about it will help.

I am dreading mothers day. I know my bf wont say anything even though I still hope he will. He's not the type that really think of the little details like that that would make me happy. I hate all these holidays and birthdays that should've been celebrated with a new baby.

Well I hope you get your BFP this month! I know it's hard not to get discouraged.

The 4th marked 8 months for us since Kimber passed away. I hate time :-/

I too have been having a lot of interactions with ladies and their babies. It's always a struggle to keep myself together. Forcing away the bitterness of "my baby should be here" :-(.

My hubby doesn't seem too discouraged, I think I'm the one who feels like giving up. CD 36 for me. No AF and bfn today. I just wish I could be regular and not have to wait to try and figure out if AF just isn't coming or if I could possibly be pregnant. With Kimber I got a BFP on cd 27, the day before AF was due. I ovulated a week later than normal so that should have been yesterday.

I'm also dreading Mother's Day....how crappy to have to deal with those holidays as well as all the other anniversaries that break our hearts. :-(

Thank you mum2twinangels.

Hey Katharine! I'm doing "ok". Liliana's 6 month angelversary was May 5th, was also bf's bday so it was a little emotional.

I've been crocheting away and have gotten people wanting to buy things, so that's been keeping me busy. Af is over and am on CD 10. Still trying. I noticed since my chemical in March that hubby has been getting a little discouraged. :/

I had someone come over today with their 2 month old baby girl. I was on the verge of tears and cried a little when she left. But it wasn't as hard as in the beginning. I've noticed I'm slowly coming to terms. I'm not sure how I feel about that though.

How are you doing? Where are you at with the whole ttc? How's your husband doing?

Hello I am so sorry for the loss of your precious baby, what a beautiful name. I had stillbirth twins 2011 and I still dread and hate hearing pregnancy announcements/birth announcements :(

I was lucky and conceived after 3 months of waiting and had a precious baby boy.

I hope you get your take home baby soon, it is definitely something no parent should have to go through.

I wish you loads of luck x x x

How are you doing Leah?

Oh :-( I'm sorry. But at least you know for sure and it's a fresh start this month!

I know it's really sucky though, really really sucky. :-(

Well af started 4 days early :/

Thank you teitei. I wish you luck as well. Congratulations

I haven't attended one either and wont for a long time. My hubby always wants to go and I can tell he gets disappointed when I don't want to. He doesn't seem effected like me either. He loves seeing everyone's babies while I avoid them. It'd sad. I use to be the first to greet any kid or baby.

Like you said, it's hard seeing everyone enjoy what we can't. I hate delivery announcements now because I never got to do the whole mass text/Facebook status saying I'm in labor and then following it up with a pic of my baby. Whenever my bf tries to being up someone we knows announcement or pics my face just completely falls. I torture myself about it seeing them and then I have him coming home telling me. He thinks that I'm so indifferent and don't care, but he doesn't know I look at those people's announcements and pics and cry to myself.

I too feel like it's going to be awhile to get pregnant this time. I already feel out this month and I almost don't even care anymore... :/

Dear Leah was thinking about you today. Im so sorry you havent gotten your bfp yet but i hope and pray it will be soon. I will keep you in my prayers. As for me we got a positive this month 5w2d. I am so very scared this time around. It is overwhelming. I pray this time will be it for us. Sending loads of babydust your way. Thinking of you.

I completely understand! Last year I knew a handful of women who were pregnant with me. Since I lost Kimber I have found out that over 20 women I know are pregnant. :-/ it's just so harsh on my heart. To have to continually see other people getting everything I've ever wanted.

I still haven't brought myself to attend a baby shower yet...

Every time someone new announces they're pregnant I get that same anxious feeling and racing heart. :-(

My hubby is doing well. He doesn't seem to have the same problems with pregnant women as I do. I know it's a lot different for him.

Unfortunately I feel like we won't get pregnant and I'm just waiting for my period to start :-(. I hate TTC

How are you coping? Hows your hubby?

We're doing okay. I still have my bad moments. They tend to happen longer and more frequent around this time of month and are the worse when I get to her month anniversaries.

Anytime someone mention ls their baby I get little anxiety attacks where my heart starts racing so I just walk away from them.

It never fails to receive an invitation to a baby shower every month. Just got another one. Before and during pregnancy I hardly ever got one. I think the last one was like 3 yrs ago. Then a week exactly after my baby's burial I got my first one. I have gotten 7 now. You'd think they'd be more understanding. Every time I get one I start getting anxiety again and I obsess over any new invite or delivery/pregnancy announcements. It's just not fair :(

For reals!!!

How are you guys doing? I know it's so hard after losing a baby.

Woo! Fx that it's your month! Tww suck though haha

Oh well there is still hope!!

I'm on CD 22 and just got a positive ovulation test! Thank goodness!! EWCM is right on track so I am hopeful that I did actually ovulate!

Just a waiting game now!

I'm doing okay. Thanks for checking in. :)

I'm on cd25/33 and approx 7dpo. I'm not even sure if I ovulated. I didn't feel it as usual. But I haven't been paying attention like usual and haven't tried to bd as much so I'm probably out this much. :/

What about you? How are things going with you?

How are things going Leah?!

Exciting!! Got my fingers crossed for you!

Yes my hubby sure doesn't mind ttc either ;) lol

Cycle day 11! Taking opks and BDing every other say per Dr's orders!

Pretty much the same here. Definitely have my bad days, but over-all I am doing well. We'll start TTC on CD 10 as per specialist's orders and then BD every other day :-). My hubby certainly loves TTC!

I'm on CD 11 out if 34.

Started ttc on CD 8. I've been feeling twinges in my hips still.

Emotionally I'm ok. I have my bad days still, just.gotta keep moving forward.

How about you? How are you doing?

How are you doing Leah?

Cycle day 8 for me. I'll start opks on CD 10.

How are you feeling?

I'm so sorry leahbeth fingers crossed for next month.

Same here! AF ended today and I start clomid tonight!

We seriously need a good month!!

Af is away now so I'm ready to start again. Praying April is the month for us both

I'm so sorry Leah! My heart breaks for us both. What an awful start to April! But praying we do get true BFPs that stick and stay!!!

Well it's official...

Back to square one of ttc. What a perfect day to find out on. It's been 5 months today since Liliana has passed away. I feel so heartbroken. Hope you ladies are having better luck.

I'm sorry Katharine :( maybe this month will be better to us. Please keep checking in. I feel like our journeys have been similar and we can understand what each other is going through. Fx for April.

I'm so sorry Leah :-(.

AF showed up last night so I'm back to square one too :-(

I'm hoping for a miracle Katharine, but tbh I think in back at square one. Going to test either tomorrow or the next day.

I'm so sorry Leah!! It could still just be random bleeding! Some women get it and the baby is fine!

Praying for you!!

My spotting turned into a full blown af. I think I had a chemical pregnancy. :'( waiting a few days to test again.

Thank you Mamabear :)

Yay! In so excited for you Leah. H&H9!

Thank you Katharine

Yay! Congratulations Leah! I know you will be able to bring your sweet baby home!!!

Haha mama bear! Get to bd! ;)

Fx!!

Took another test. A pink dye on 1 hr urine. I'm 11dpo and af is due on the 31st. According to lmp I'm 4w4d.

I'm just getting to my fertile week. So I'm on the three week wait :) but hubby made it back home!

Yikes tww sucks lol good luck! Fx for you. I hope I see all you ladies with bfps too!

I think it was IB because it has stopped now and never got worse. I am 11dpo today. And on CD 32 of 34. I'll update later today or tomorrow. :)

Also, you were probably having implantation bleeding!!

That's so amazing!!!!! Yay!!!!

Let me know what the follow-up test is!!!

Currently I'm 6 DPO and just waiting for waiting until I can test. Feeling a couple symptoms I think...but they're so minor they could just be normal things that I wouldn't notice but since I'm looking for symptoms I find them :-/

(How many DPO are you Leah?)

I just took a test and got a very faint bfp! It's blue dye though so I'm going to store later.

What's everyone's ttc updates?

I've been spotting for a few days. Tmi Only when I wipe and it'd be brown tinged and not that much. I've had some very mild cramping with it. So the spotting I've been having increased a bit last night after bd and tmi it was tinged a pink red this time and not brown like it had been but this morning its back to brown. I have 4 days until af due. I don't usually spot so maybe my body is just easing in to af this month? I also read somewhere that spotting like this can happen when the body fails to ovulate and trigger af? Ugh so annoying. I hate being confused. Lol

Just got to have faith. :)

I know I'll be scared, but when the time comes I'm going to make sure to try and stay calm and just enjoy the new life that I will have created.

Me three!

We are definitely ready to be parents to a baby we are able to bring home with us.

Sometimes I worry about being scared throughout my next pregnancy, but I know that God has everything in His hands and that no matter what happens it's in His plan.

Me too :)

I'm so heartbroken for everything that I'm missing out on with my daughter, but I'm ready to have baby #2. I'm excited at the possibilities of another baby and decorating a nursery and everything I didn't get to do with my baby.

Yes. Every baby should be celebrated! I know it will take a while for me to not worry, but I know that I will be excited. It will be exciting setting everything up again.

I'm ready to start making plans for my new little baby :) I can't wait for all of us to start celebrating our little rainbows.

(now if that DH would just get done with his business trips!)

That's not weird at all! Every baby deserves to be excited about. I think its very sweet of you guys.

Every one of us have been strong mothers to go through what we have. I hope we all get blessed with healthy rainbows soon.

I was pro-natural and really still am. We will try to do things as naturally as possible. I survived the induction with no epi so we will try that again. My doctors are so open to help me have the birth I want.

We didn't take down our crib. I did pack all the toys and baby accessories away just because we need the space. We want a baby as soon as possible so we didn't take too much stuff down.

I did have time I couldn't go in the nursery that also doubles as our office with out getting sad. Now I'm hopeful when I go in there.

It doesn't sound weird at all!!

My husband and I did the same thing!

The nursery is all packed up now :-( but it will make it more exciting when we set everything up for our second child.

Thank you leahbeth your a strong mumma you little girl would be proud I'm sure.

I'm in Australia so I don't know how different it is but my dr told me they would induce me from 36 weeks and I would be high risk also despite having a healthy textbook pregnancy.

We have our nursery all set up and had absolutely everything so we have decided to put most things away and unpack them again so we have something to be excited for sort of thing I joe that doesn't sound weird.

I too was told I'd be considered high risk even though I had a completely healthy and textbook pregnancy with no complications. Delivery was quick and uncomplicated as well once I started pushing. I can't remember if my Dr said anything about being induced again. I was so pro going into labor naturally I had to be induced with my daughter. I think I'd opt to be induced again because I'd be too worried about waiting and something happening again.
