Intro (loss and children mentioned)

lifeisbetteronthered · February 2015

Hi,

I've been around the bump for years, but will be new to your board. I've lurked a bit and thinks it's a better fit for me then the TTC drama board again.

We aren't technically TTC #3 for another couple of months, but I'm resuming temping, etc in anticipation (I hope it's ok if I hang out now).

Hubby is 36, and I am soon to be as well. He is a wonderful SAHD and I'm a surgeon who works too many hours. We have 2 beautiful children. DD is 2yo and DS is 7mo. We had an early loss before becoming pregnant with our daughter.

I'd love to continue to lurk, and throw in my occasional 2 cents until we start TTC in ernest (5 month count down), but it you would rather I wait until then I respect that and will re-introduce at that time.

Welcome!! Please stay!! We may be old but we are not cranky.

I hope once you start your journey it is short and sweet.

Feel free to stick around! We aren't picky - at one point we even had a (gasp!) 34-year-old in here.

Welcome. This board is by far the best!!!! Please stick around now, no need to wait until you are actively ttc. We have several members who are benched. We offer support to all.

Just have to say wow to you being a surgeon. My brother and I were just talking about woman surgeons. He programs pace makers so he works with surgeons every day and has only met one woman so far. I found that amazing that there are so few (heart surgeons).

@sonpetitlapin - your comment about being old but not cranky cracked me up. I needed that today. Sometimes I do feel old AND cranky. But in all seriousness, welcome to the board @TomW&JennD. I promise not to be cranky with you!
