Firstly hello to anyone who remembers me and three cheers for anyone who still wants to be a friend after my long board absence. I needed a break, from a lot of stuff here (not this board or IFV or PAIF but BMB), sadnesses, my own difficult IF history. I needed to finally get to go be a mom and just be that. I bet some of you understand.
I was checking in to hookin' myself back into the bump boards but it looks like I picked a choice time to try and do that. Would anyone be willing to bring me up to speed in like a sentence or two?
----- My update: We just so adore being parents to our little bug. She'll be 1(!) in a couple weeks and she's our dearest sunshine. I don't know exactly how to express how much I love being a mother/her mother. We're planning to head back to C.CR.M again this summer for an FET with another one of our CCS tested embryos. I was hoping to hop back on to offer support, reconnect, and get some encouragement for our next try as well as connect with old bumpies. ---- Are people sticking around or jumping ship?
Thanks and hello again - I'm happy to hear any updates or whatever from people.

"I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it."
I totally understand and I have decided 2015 will be the year of recapturing joy.
I can't believe your LO will be one soon!
I am hanging around the bump (mostly to be a resource for ladies in TPR, so few outlets for good info), but have also joined the other boards. I will PM.
Good to "see" you again!

A bunch of us are still sticking around here. A few years back a lot of people jumped ship to Facebook and other places and SAIF continued to function. We are very resilient.
Hola! Welcome back to you! Of course I remember you! I missed your sessy Halloween costume run downs this year. Congrats on making it to 1!
Many of us are floating between here and the other place.
I'm lurking over there, but doing my posting over here. I believe if it wasn't for PAIF and SAIF I would have felt to alone and disconnected as I'm not really "IF out" IRL. I really believe that an open board is essential to a supportive IF community. While the other board isn't "closed" there isn't the same funnel of new people since the bump/knot/nest are a very visible community. I feel very strongly about staying over here to be a resource for other gals in our situation, stumbling into the board looking for help and support.
It would be awesome to have you stick around!

Thanks for the welcome! I'll probably do both. I know that I longed for resources and women or stories of those who'd been through what I had. I want to be sure that I can continue to give that back.

Hi! I had just been wondering how parenthood had been treating you? Did you see that snarling fox had just posted a reintroduce a few posts down from you? I am thrilled you posted. Halloween wasn't the same on the boards without you.
@kaf7 - Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't seen that post. I'll be happy to reconnect with her!
How are you? How's motherhood and IVF#3 proceeding?
I'm so happy that there are still familiar faces here. Thanks for saying hello!

@bzeetyd motherhood is wonderful most of the time. I'd say my biggest struggle is balancing work and home. Usually DH is the one to suffer I think. I have mixed feelings about TTC again. At the moment I am content with one LO so I have some fears of disrupting that just by moving forward. But I start more meds on Friday so I guess I wil have to get over that soon. This board has gotten significantly quieter even in the last week but there are lots of others on the other board and a dedicated few sticking it out over here for ongoing support for each other and any newcomers. You are such a meaningful part of my TTC journey and I am glad to know you are around and happy with your LO. GL back at CCRM.
