Parenting after a Loss
November 2011 Mommas!
Ok, I've wanted this for a while now, so I'm just gonna take the initiative and start one! This will be the first. I don't think I will do one every week, but maybe every other (likely on Saturday as I will be starting back to work in a few weeks and will have a more predictable weekend schedule). So...here we go!
How is everyone and their LO?
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born?
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM?
Other random thoughts?
What do you T&P for?

Re: November 2011 Mommas!
How is everyone and their LO? We're doing great! Henry was 12lbs 9oz on Friday (was 3.5lbs at birth and 4lbs 14oz when he came home) and is breastfeeding exclusively, so I kinda feel like super mom!
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born? 11/22/11, 9/10/11
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM? I started back last week- it's part time. I do 3-4 6hr shifts per week and DH is home. He is out on paternity for 4 months starting next week. I can't wait for more time at home with both of us!!
Other random thoughts? I'm feeling so blessed right now and holding Henry extra close. I wish he would sleep a little more, but in the end as long as he's here he can wake me up every 1-2 hours as much as he wants!
What do you T&P for? I'm praying for Amye. I'm also praying that I don't let my anxiety about her loss keep me from enjoying the moment (that was also my new year's resolution!).
BFP#2 3/16/11, beta 138; 4/12 Baby/HB DS born 9/10/11 at 29w4d due to partial abruption and PTL
BFP#3 8/19/13 Another boy! 17P, modified bedrest and Nifedipine helped us have a termie! DS2 born 4/19/14 at 38w5d.
Doing pretty well, first few weeks were a breeze but my fuss master kicked in after that and we have been dealin with possible MSPI issues and are seeing a GI specialist tomorrow. I am loving being a mom and still can't believe everyday that he is here
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born? Cole was due 11/17 and was born 11/13 after a very long labor and very short pushing
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM? I go back to work on Valentines day...can't believe it will be here soon. I do love my job though so that will help the transition
Other random thoughts? I am just overwhelmed with sadness today over Amyes loss, I know she had such a hard journey and life just doesn't make sense. I cling tight to Cole today and feel guilty for every second of frustration I have had. I wish there were ways to turn back time
What do you T&P for? For Ayme and her family
ITS A BOY!!!! Born 11/13/11 BFP #4: 10/29/12 edd 7/11/12
Great idea!
I wasn't so great at keeping up with the pregnancy updates, but maybe I will be better with these. lol
How is everyone and their LO?
We are great, other than fighting a nasty round of thrush. E slept "through the night" (1:00 am-6:45 am) for the first time last night!
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born?
E's EDD was 11/19/11. She arrived on 11/15/11.
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM?
I go back to work Feb. 7th. DH and I REALLY want me to be able to SAH, but we can't afford it at the moment due to him still being in school. We are hoping to get our finances in order enough before summer for me to be able to SAH then!
Other random thoughts?
The last few days have been kind of sad for me. I've had two friends miscarry, and of course the news of Amye's tragedy last night. It makes me so so thankful for every moment I get to spend with my sweet little girl.
What do you T&P for?
We need T&P that we both can finally kick this thrush/yeast infection, because my doctor won't treat me again without running a bunch of tests. I also feel horrible for E that she is in discomfort.
I know that is petty though compared to what others (especially Amye) are going through. I'm definitely sending her lots and lots of T&Ps.
BFP 5/9/10. U/S - no heartbeat 6/2/10 (7 weeks). Induced miscarriage 6/7/10.
Chemical pregnancies 12/2/10, 1/3/11, and 2/7/11.

How is everyone and their LO? LO is good. Taylor is finally getting over her cold. We have been having some feeding issues and I think she may have reflux so we have a pedi appointment in a couple weeks.
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born? EDD was 11/13. Induction was started a week later on 11/20 and DD was born 11/21.
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM? For now I am a SAHM. We aren't sure if I am going to go back to work yet but even if I do it wont be for awhile because I'd have to find a new job because I got fired while pregnant.
Other random thoughts?
What do you T&P for? Definitely for Amye and her family. I didn't know her but her story is heartbreaking.
Also for myself, that I can get treated for PPD asap but everytime I call I get told I have to talk to someone and they have to talk to someone else and they will call me back later that day and then they don't call so I call back the next day and same thing.
Great to hear from everyone!
How is everyone and their LO? Nadia and I are doing well! We have her next apt on Thursday. I am so curious to see how much she weighs now. We haven't been since 2 weeks old.
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born? LO was due on 11/19 and I was induced on 11/18.
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM? I go back to work on 2/11. I was part time to start with so I will be going back to the same schedule. Truth be told, I would love to be a SAHM some times, but I know that working will be good for me.
Other random thoughts? ILs are going to come visit for the first time some time this week....not realy sure how I feel about it. Hopefully there will be no issues.
What do you T&P for? Definitely praying regularly for Amye (Sp?). I cannot even imagine (nor do I want to) how heart broken she and her family must be.
Dx: MFI- 3% morph
IUIs: Gonal-F + Ovidrel + b2b IUI= BFNs
IVF with ICSI= BFP! EDD 11/25/11
3/18- Beta #1 452! 3/20- Beta #2 1,026!! 3/27- First u/s- TWINS!
Our twin boys arrived at 36w5d due to IUGR and a growth discordance
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
How is everyone and their LO?
Quinn and I are doing pretty well. She is finally able to get a bit of expressed breastmilk down with a bottle- it's been quite a fight. She's gaining weight like crazy and is such a happy girl these days.
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born?
Her due date was 11/9 and she was born 11/5 after a horrible induction.
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM?
I am back to work. I took about 8 weeks off and was supposed to be easing back into my job but they are basically throwing me back in full time. I'm frustrated but thankful that I like what I do. DH is a SAHD and he takes really good care of her so it helps.
Other random thoughts?What do you T&P for?
All of my T&P are with Amye and her family right now. I can't even comprehend what she is going through. I'm definitely holding DD tight tonight and trying to cherish every second.
How is everyone and their LO? DS and I are doing well. He has his two month appointment on Friday and I am dreading the shots.
What was LO's EDD? When were they ACTUALLY born? Due date was 11/15/11 and he arrived 11/13/11.
Are you back at work or when will you go back? Or are you choosing to now be a SAHM? I am back at work as of last week, and Alex comes with me. It has been an adjustment working with him there but I am so happy to have him there. My mom and MIL are going to start alternting some days with him, startring today actually.
Other random thoughts? Time is really going by fast, I cannot believe I have a two month old!
What do you T&P for? Most definitely thinking of Amye and her family, so awful and unfair for her.
