@PleaseSendPicklesNow We have been thinking of you and sending you lots of creepy Internet love. FWIW, I think you are incredibly brave and strong and I am overwhelmed by your selfless love for your baby boy.
And OF COURSE we want you to hang with us. I stayed active in D15 the entire time.
@PleaseSendPicklesNow you are always always welcome ! And you tell her! Your wisdom and insight is wonderful and you did a great job in that post. Mic drop that ish!
@PleaseSendPicklesNow Please feel welcome to bump around with us as long as you feel comfortable. The way I see it, you started this journey with all of us, so you will always be one of us (not meant to sound as creepy as it probably does). Love tit of support.
I am in tears reading your post. You made a decision that is right for your family and your baby. And it was a damn hard decision to make! I am in awe of your grace during this time. Welcome back to the crazy July board, I hope you can get some belly laughs out of this group and enjoy your pregnancy. This is an amazing time for your and your baby because you are so connected. I hope you can find some solice knowing that you are giving your son life right now and he is so grateful for everything you do for him. You are a strong woman and an amazing mom!! Hugs.
@pleasesendpicklesnow we are happy to have you hang with us! Your heart and grace are an inspiration. We have been thinking of you and are here for you every step of the way
@PleaseSendPicklesNow we have all been thinking of you and your son more than you will probably ever know! I admire your strength and everything your doing for your LO. You will ALWAYS have a place here with us
Glad to see you @pleasesendpicklesnow! I never responded to your initial post because I was away but I am so incredibly sorry your family has had to even make this decision. I think it's wonderful that you're taking the steps you need to reach the goals you've set for your family. You will be in my thoughts.
@PleaseSendPicklesNow Glad to see you back over here! I hope that you are able to accomplish all of the things you are hoping (both before and after delivery). Totally random, but my friends brother (and his wife) found out that their son would not live very long after birth. They were told it could be minutes/hours, but most likely wouldn't live past 24 hours. After he was born, the nurses placed a little "grieving leaf" on their hospital room door, so anyone going in would know that they were spending final moments and wouldn't be taking their son home. Well, apparently their son had other plans, as not only did he pass 24 hours, but after two more days in the hospital, they were discharged to all go home. He lived about a week before passing away in their home, but they were able to spend more time with him than they thought, and introduce him to all of their friends/family.
My fingers are crossed that your little boy is a fighter, and is able to go home to meet your dogs and spend a lot of time with you and your husband.
@PleaseSendPicklesNow welcome back as you can tell we missed you! I continue to be in awe of your attitude and bravery. You're amazing and I'm so glad you're a part of our board. ❤️
@PleaseSendPicklesNow you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Glad to see you back, you've definitely been missed! The amount of love you have for your son is incredible and inspiring.
You all are very nice and kind of making me cry. In a nice "I am pregnant and feeling ALL the feelings" way.
Not gonna lie, I love being called strong. I don't feel that way right now; usually I think of strength as a big, loud, roaring thing. But I suppose that quietly carrying on, despite terrible circumstances, can be strong too.

Thank you for helping me see that.
