We never found out what happened to her. I've handled it pretty well until recently.... now Valentine's Day is coming up again and I've been a basket case.... wanting to celebrate our son's first valentine's day but not being able to bring myself to even think about celebrating on such a horrible day!

Re: Stillbirth/Late Loss/Infant Loss Check in
1. Please feel free to give a general update:
We are finally getting somewhere with the planning of the memorial service. They have agreed to bless Zoe's ashes and I am really happy about that. Hopefully it will be planned and we will have it within the next month. I am a little nervous about who to include because I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable.
2. PG Related QOTD: Have you determined when is the right time for you to TTC again?
Not really, I would love to have another baby and DH would too, but he is scared. I of course am too but am more willing to go ahead with it at this point than he is. We are supposed to wait at least 6 months and see what a fibroid is looking like before trying, that is in December.
3. Non PG Related QOTD: What is your least favorite house chore?(thanks vkbaby09)
Oh, there are so many! I don't like cleaning the tubs, that's probably the worst.
4. Any suggestions for either QOTD?1. Please feel free to give a general update: So far so good. We see a cardioligist again in 2 weeks because they did find a small leak in the baby's heart-but both the cardiologist and ob think it's minor. But I am still going to keep my fingers crossed. I don't feel like I am out of the woods yet.
2. PG Related QOTD: Have you determined when is the right time for you to TTC again? I knew I didn't want to wait very long, but I knew I didn't want to jump right into it. Though this baby wasn't exactly planned, I felt I was as emotionally ready as I was going to be. People told us to make sure we were emotionally ready. And I though we will never be completely ready-there will always be that fear of something going wrong and I will always miss my little boy, and by no means did I want to try to replace him with another baby. I just always wanted a large family, and I felt I was ready to give Jack a little brother or sister
3. Non PG Related QOTD: What is your least favorite house chore?(thanks vkbaby09) Hmm...doing the dishes.
4. Any suggestions for either QOTD? Nope
general update: made it through my due date day yesterday. it was sad but i'm glad it's over. i'm feeling much better lately physically at least.
2: i feel ready now to TTC but i know the docs think otherwise. i'll stop taking BC in sept. so we'll see what happens. Originally i wanted to wait till after the xmas holidays to try but i have a feeling it may happen sooner.
3. least favorite house chore: cleaning the kitty litter and doing the trash.
1. General Update: I am still having bad days and good days. Yesterday was a bad day - regis and kelly wasn't on because of the breaking news of the two ladies returning from N Korea, then I went to Patriots training camp which was a no pads practice so it wasn't fun to watch, then I went to a store and tried on pants that made me look like a whale.... I hope today is a better day.
2. We will TTC after I have 2 cycles. Right now I still haven't stopped bleeding from the delivery a month ago so who knows when AF will visit me.
3. I hate cleaning the kitchen, it is always a mess.
1. General Update: I have my follow-up saline u/s tomorrow to see if my uterus healed nicely from my septum resection back in June. If that is okay, then we will hopefully get the green light to TTC again after one more cycle. I'm really nervous that it's going to be bad news and I'll need another surgery.
2. We will TTC again as soon as possible, hopefully by September.
3. I hate trying to finagle the last few dishes into the dishwasher.
How do I get added to the list?
1. General update: I've been home sick the past two days so that sucks. Too much time to sit and think about Ella. Other than that, just waiting for AF to come back. Have an appointment with a perinatalogist next week.
2. I just realized this morning that I actually want to TTC again, which is huge. I wasn't sure I could even go there.
3. Without a doubt, laundry...with a 4 year old it is non stop!
1. Please feel free to give a general update:
Well I am pregnant again, and due April, 2010! After some scary spotting this week, we had an u/s yesterday and we could see the baby measuring right on time, and even the h/b! We are optimistic that this will be a healthy baby.
2. PG Related QOTD: Have you determined when is the right time for you to TTC again?
After both of our losses, we started TTC right away. It took 2 cycles to get pg both times (with the help of charting and CBEFM).
3. Non PG Related QOTD: What is your least favorite house chore?(thanks vkbaby09)
Cleaning the bathrooms.
1. Please feel free to give a general update:
I had my follow-up appt this week. It gave me more hope for feeling better because I can start doing more "normal" things again like working out, lifting more than 10 lbs (I got to hold my 2-yo nephew today for the first time in months!), having sex and working.
2. PG Related QOTD: Have you determined when is the right time for you to TTC again?
After the green light we got from the ob to start ttc again in Oct, I'm really excited (though we're going to double-check w/ the peri and see what his thoughts are on everything).
3. Non PG Related QOTD: What is your least favorite house chore?(thanks vkbaby09)
Cleaning the floors (but I really don't like doing any of it!).
