I met my wonderful husband in 2003 when a mutual friend set us up on a blind date. We were married in 2007 and I feel very lucky to be spending my life with him.

I joined this site in April 2009 when I was 8 weeks pregnant with our first child. I was so excited to have found a place to share a very exciting but scary journey with others who were going through the same thing. Unfortunately we lost that baby at 11 weeks through a missed miscarriage and we were devastated.

At that time I joined the Trying to Conceive After Loss forum. I was so lucky to have found that page! I got more love and support there than I ever could have asked for and thank goodness because TTC was much harder than I expected. I charted and used OPKs and we did everything right but it still wasn't happening. By December we had decided to see a fertility specialist to figure out why we were not able to get pregnant again. Our appointment was scheduled for the end of January 2010 but we never needed to go. We got our BFP on January 2, 2010.

Our gorgeous baby Maggie was born in September and life with her has been happier than I ever could have imagined. She is the most amazing child. She brightens every single day! I believe in breastfeeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering (as much as possible) and sharing sleep. These things have worked for us and I feel so blessed and happy to embrace the attachment parenting philosophy as spoken about by Dr. Sears and others.

We started TTC again about 6 months ago. Because I am still nursing Maggie my cycles have been pretty wacky. On November 30 I got a BFP!! I was thrilled and nervous and so thankful for the opportunity to give Maggie a sibling. At our first ultrasound the baby measured a few days smaller than we thought it would be but there was a baby and a heartbeat, so we were thrilled. We went back a week later and there had been 6 days growth and there was still a heartbeat but it was very slow at 76. We were told there was a 60% chance of survival. We went back a week later and the baby had passed away shortly after the previous ultrasound. We are almost 9 weeks and the pregnancy is over, another missed miscarriage. I am devastated. I hope so much that we will be given another chance very soon. I want so much to grow this family and give Maggie a brother or sister to love and cherish. TTC last time after the miscarriage took a very long time and I am scared that this will happen again. I hope that I feel better and more optimistic soon.
