We had our IUI yesterday in our 2nd cycle since our loss in June.  Hoping the next 2 weeks goes by fast!!

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? 

I have an appointment with a MFM on 1/2 to see if/when we do get pg, if we should add lovenox to our mix.  I also will be finding out about the same time if this IUI cycle worked or not.

QOTW: What where you doing last year at this time? 

Working & getting ready to go to NC to see my family for the holidays!  Also was waiting to start our next cycle, which resulted in our pregnancy with our angel.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Ethan has been on my mind a lot!  He would have been about 6 weeks old now. We have two ornaments on our tree for him now - one given to us by a wonderful friend & another I made at the support group this past Tuesday. I miss him very much!  

I am hoping & praying that we will be pregnant with our rainbow baby very soon. He/she would in no way, shape or form replace Ethan but I just want to add to our family so much!   We probably only have one more year of being able to TTC with our ages so I am hoping & praying!!

I also am sorry that I do not post/comment very much.  I do read/lurk alot and wanted to say thank you for providing this space to read, lurk, post etc.

Looking forward to telling the extended family I was pregnant. We announced during Christmas eve dinner. I thought I would be bringing a baby to Christmas eve this year. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Missing Julian more than ever, feeling disappointed that I didn't get pregnant this cycle, feeling relieved that I have a week off of work starting on Monday. I'm ready for a break.

No.

QOTW: What where you doing last year at this time?

Crying and eating. We went to my sister's and my bil's family were there too and it was so hard hold in my sadness and tears. It was too soon for me to be around others at a holiday but my sister wants what she wants.

How much I hate my body. How much I miss Bri...

I am thinking of all you ladies and will be praying that we all survive the next few days and that they go by fast. This sure is a tough time of year..

 

My son would have been 6 weeks old tomorrow

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? 

I just got the green light from my doctor to try again. She told me that whenever I am pregnant again she will "celebrate" with me. Now I am just waiting for AF to return but for now we are just having fun without charting.  

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? 

  

Nothing coming up, I had my 6 week pp check up this week and that went great. 

QOTW: What where you doing last year at this time? 

 I was loving life last year at this time, loving being married and excited to start TTC with my DH.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

I am just feeling so sad this week, I cannot stop thinking about how we are not going to be having "baby's first Christmas" next week and how bad I wish he was here. I am usually so excited for joyful about Chistmas and this year I am dreading it.

CD1 of my second cycle TTC.  I'll be honest, last cycle it was hard to get in the mood, so we didn't BD enough to call it a cycle that we were TTC I think...

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? 

Nope.

QOTW: What where you doing last year at this time? 

TTC!  Ha!  It was our 5th cycle trying, and this time last year is when we conceived Bradley.  We were also reorganizing the basement...

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Other than Bradley?  What my life will be like once I am finally blessed with a living child.
