bridget,
i don't have the words to tell you how much your story touched my heart. i looked at little william's website and my goodness, he was so beautiful! i am so very sorry for your loss.

OMG Bridget! I just read about little William too and I am sitting at work, crying. What a beautiful sweet looking little boy. I am just speechless. I just hope you never ever have to go through any more bad with this TTC stuff. You have suffered so much.

Thank you so much Amy. It was something I never thought I'd ever experience. That is something you think happens to other people, not yourself. It will always be a very sad part of me. He was a wonderful baby for all that he endured. Now you see why I am so anxious to get this next period. I can't stand the thought of having to wait one more minute to start trying again. Having another baby will be the closest thing I can do to trying to "fix" myself...and my poor DH too. Very sad for a dad to lose his first born son. Indescribable. Thank you for visiting his site! I appreciate that.

Bridget I can't believe what you've been through. After reading William's story and seeing that you've sufferred two more losses since then, I'm in awe at your strength. It's people like you that keep the rest of us moving forward. Welcome to the group and stay as long as you'd like. We'll all be cheering for you!

[babydecker]

Thank you so much Jen. Very sweet of you to take the time to visit William's page. He really was a sweet little guy. When planning a family, you never imagine that it could all be so hard. All the years we were trying not to get pregnant!! Never knowing how difficult it could be.

[babydecker]

Thanks Ronni. We'll be cheering for each other!

bridget, i want to reach out and give you the biggest hug. you deserve to get your bfp very soon and have a very healthy, smooth pregnancy and baby. i will be keeping you in my prayers. i absolutely cannot imagine the roller coaster of emotions that you and your husband experienced in such a short time. your words to william touched my heart so much and reminded me that every healthy child is an absolute miracle. i am so glad that you joined us, and i hope that we can offer you a shoulder (or 15) to lean on. we here have all experienced a loss of one kind or another. now we are all in different stages in our battle to have a family, but one thing never changes...there is always support and encouragement here. please stay with us!

[babydecker]

I definitely plan on staying. It is good to find other people who, like you said, have gone through loss of one kind or another because they are the only people who truly get it. A week after my D&C, my younger sister announced she was pregnant. I am happy for her because things seem to be going so well but at the same time she can't understand what I'm going through because this is her first and she and her DH weren't really even trying. I have to admit, it will be hard to watch her belly grow, knowing that we have struggled. That is how I stumbled across this site. I was looking for a support group when I felt like I didn't know where else to turn. Thanks again.

[ara79]

you can stay as long as you want! but i gotta warn you, we are a kooky, open and sometimes freaky group! (especially jen!)

Bridget- Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry for your losses. You are a mighty strong woman to have endured all of that pain.
I hope you find peace here. Welome aboard.

Amy- You are going to be Gummy Mom. Your little gummy bear is adorable!
It's so great to see them move.

Martie- I am sorry about your glucose tolerance test.
I have mine April 23rd. I hope that the nutritionist can give you some helpful tips and this can all be cured by diet. It will be tough but hamg in there. You have done great so far and you are almost there! We are here for you!

Well someone put a basketball in my belly last night. I am not sure what happened but when I woke up this morning my face had blown up and my belly popped. I am having a hard time walking already. SOmeone at the dog park made fun of me and said I was walking like a duck!

I will post a pic later.

I went shopping with mom today and we bought 15 outfits for the baby! And only a few of them were pink! I am so sick of pink already!
Mom is a little upset b/c she loves pink.
Rachael- I read that whole thread and decided to keep my big mouth shut. I can be a little harsh sometimes and I had a thing or two to say!
Becoming a new mom, or even a newly pregnant women is a huge adjustment and although it's something we have been dying for some days it still stinks! There are ups and downs to everything in life. Feel free to vent whenever!

[jencat215]

Hey, why is it always pick on Jen???

Susan I can't wait to see the basketball!!!

[sunny72]

Bridget, welcome!! I'm so glad you found us. Your baby William was just precious. Thank you for sharing his story.
Things do get a little nutty on this thread, but it keeps our minds off other things.

Amy, what precious u/s pictures. What an amazing day you had.

Martie, sorry about the glucose test. Hopefully some dietiary changes will do the trick.

[ara79]

awww, jen! you know we love you!

[ara79]
