Name: Jes
Wedding Date: 4/2/2005
How long have you and S/O been together: 9.5 years
What brings you to this board (Late loss / m/c):
2 miscarriages in 2006 and 2007. So far, it's the only place I feel like I "fit." My losses were long ago, but unlike the TTC boardies, I no longer have the excitement of TTC. Getting pregnant for me has always resulted in disappointment. I've lurked and posted on the TTTC board but I don't really feel I belong there either.
Where are you in your TTCAL Journey:
Back to trying again. Finally settled and bought a home. We've only decided to go as far as 3 rounds of clomid. If we don't have our take home baby on the way by the time we're 30, we're going to start the adoption process.
Tell us something interesting:
I love to quilt! Take lessons on quilting and look at quilts... think about quilts... ok. You get it.

Yikes Teresa. I also work in Social Service and while I see a lot of pregnant women and newborns, all day every day has got to be rough.
I did see a little 14 day old boy today and I could barely look at him. He was so precious! Not very normal to ask your client if you can hold their baby though... (especially when I'm not feeling well).
You can! I machine quilt. I would love to have the patience to quilt by hand, but I need to see progress and get it done.
