My profile

I'm 33 years old, and have been married to my dh for 6 years now. We've been trying to have children for about 3 years, and although I get pregnant quite quickly, the last 7 pregnancies ended in miscarriage between 6 & 8 weeks.

I was just about to give up on the possibility of having my dh's kids, when I found out I was pregnant again. I started spotting at 6 weeks (on the friday of a long weekend). I didn't bother calling the doc this time, because I had an appointment scheduled for the tuesday anyway, and knew what to expect. I waited it out, but the cramps didn't start (I have had a missed miscarriage before). When I went to the doc on the Tuesday, I had prepared myself for a D&C. What I hadn't prepared myself for was the dr seeing a heartbeat!

Mike & I both cried.

The wait between the 6 and 8 week scan felt like years! But that scan and the subsequent ones have all been beautiful! Heartbeat is strong, no abnormalities. Healthy perfect little boy!

I'm so excited to be having a child at last! The fear of loss seems to have melted away once I hit the 24 week mark (just sunday). Now that I know that the baby could survive if (God forbid) I gave birth now, I feel like I've done a good job of getting us here.

We've decorated the nursery, and bought some furniture to go. I've been so lucky with this pregnancy - no major suffering, barely any weight gain (I weigh the same at 24 weeks as I did when I fell pregnant (okay, I'm gloating)), and I'm in such a good place right now emotionally.

I'm also loving this website!! It's such a great tool, and so lovely to be able to see the pics!! :)

thank u janet! we were obviously hoping for a better outcome but after almost a year we kind of figured this is how it would end but we're so glad to have found her and start to piece together what happened. we're hoping to be able to have her service and funeral soon. i feel so bad for her grandchildren having to lose their grandmother in such a terrible way. hows josh doing? i hope u guys are great!

Ok ladies...Rylee is about 9 1/2 months old now...has 3 teeth...2 bottom middle and 1 top canine. She is getting VERY tired of her regular baby food! I gave her the gerber graduates fruit dices and she loves those. She can chew Puffs, yogurt melts, soft fruits. I need suggestions on food for her! She currently is eating stage 2 Earths best food. I tried stage 3 but shes really not even that into that! She loooves lasagna. I am just so scared of choking. What are you feeding your LOs now? I am going to get more of the fruit and veggie dices bc she did really well with those but she needs meals too. I am also going to try the Plum Organics food that was suggested by another mom on here so that i can give her a different flavor. So any suggestions...meals snacks anything would be appreciated. Thanks!
