~*~ Toddler Check-in ~*~

So, it's ten minutes before midnight which still totally counts as me posting this when I said I would! We had a mama and dad from our child birthing class over with their little gal, and it was awesome. Baby friends bathing together before bedtime is the cutest thing ever, just sayin'.
Since this is the "first" check-in, how about everyone introduce themselves and their littles? Your history, if you like, where you are in your family planning, some fun stuff about you that doesn't have to be baby related! Looking forward to getting to know some of you better and get reconnected with those of you I've lost touch with

Re: ~*~ Toddler Check-in ~*~
I am Junebug (JB). DS is 26 months.
My DH and I have been married for 4.5 years. He is Navy and is deployed. We seem to alternate m/c with viable pregnancies. First loss was Nov '10(c/p). DS conceived a few months later, delivered Sept '11. Second loss was a mmc, Nov '12. I currently am about 20w with pg #4, due in early May. And no, I am not sure if DH will be home in time.
DS is a sweet kid and he brightens my day...but he has been diagnosed with some speech and developmental delays. An autism dx is a possibility, too...and we may be facing that as soon as next month.

I'm Jessica. I used to be fairly active, but I recently took a new position and didn't have too much time leftover to bump.
My daughter is Lilliana and she will be 20 months on January 9th. My husband is a Marine and we live on the East Coast. Lilliana is amazing, wild, loving, independent, just awesome. We are currently struggling with some sleep regression so that is fun, but other than that we have been very lucky to have such a happy and healthy child.
We were going to stop preventing after the new year, but then we forgot to use a condom this month (right around O of course... and yes I did feel like an irresponsible teenager) so I guess we will see what happens.
by the way.. if anyone wants to let me know where the spell check is on this new formating I would be forever greatful.
Hello ladies! I'm not super active on here, but I do check in when I can. I am mostly on PGAL or the May 2014 board these days. I was pretty active on PAL a couple years ago when DS was born but it tapered off.
Anyway, I've been married for a little over 6 years, and I've had 3 losses. One missed miscarriage before DS, then DS - Noah, was born on Valentine's Day in 2011, and then a missed miscarriage and a chemical pregnancy this year, before now being pregnant with my hopeful baby #2 who is due May 2014. All of this history is in my siggy pretty much.
I work full time as an accountant, I just graduated with my master's back in September and I'm one exam away from having my CPA license (taking last exam in Feb). DS is in daycare full time except for holidays and summer b/c DH is a teacher.
DS just went through potty training back in August if anyone is seeking any advice or commiseration
Oh, and supposedly this baby is a BOY - my doctor made a guess at just over 15 weeks so I am going to get re-confirmed hopefully at my anatomy scan just to make sure. If it is a boy, we're naming him Lucas. I have to go bi-weekly for cervix checks since I am at risk for shortening/funneling.
I can't think of anything else to add

Thank you.
There just arent words for how this experience has felt. Ultimately, autism or not, we are praying for him to stay as happy and healthy as he is now. He has made some huge gains in the past few months. Very proud of him!

DH & I have been married for 5 1/2 years and we started to TTC in January 2010 but didn't get a BFP until October 2010 and that ended up being ectopic and a lot of headache and heartache. I didn't receive the best medical care, got no follow up visits other than a post-op appointment the day after I went home, and was told I could TTC after 2 weeks even though they gave me the shot. See siggy for the rest (shortened version) of the story. I ended up switching providers and hospitals(even though that hospital was where 1 of my brothers was born, plus all of my cousins and their kids).
My ODS is the love of my life. He is such a happy smiley little guy, who loves to kiss and hug on everyone (including our dogs). He likes trucks and playing with his basketball set. My big worry for him is he has been diagnosed with a mild speech delay and he isn't always able to let me know what he needs, which in turn turns into a tantrum. He is getting better at telling me items of things he wants, but he isn't Mr Conversation. I do have a lot of guilt about his speech issues because I've read that that is common in boys who's mothers were treated with methotrexate in the year before conception. He was also born with a birth defect that I found to be related to the methotrexate exposure as well. There are things about him and YDS that just seem so different developmentally and it breaks my heart.

I have not been very active on this board but was on Pgal.... It has been a busy first year+!
DS is 19 months, running around and gibber jabbering like crazy. He was born at 29 weeks...2 lb 14 oz . We spent 56 days in the nicu..and it has been amazing to watch him grow from such a little tiny peanut to a solid 22 lbs today
I had a chemical pregnancy and then a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks due to Turner's Syndrome before getting pregnant with DH. I had pregnant on the first try each time...it's the staying pregnant that I am not so great at
I am 99.9% sure we are one and done... Between age ( I am 37, DH is 40), and a traumatic birth/ long NICU stay i can't imagine going through it all again. Plus, we are feeling pretty complete with our little family. It's been a long road and I think it is time to just be content
We were blessed with Raelee in July 2013 and Kellen is a great big sister. We will wait until she is closer to 2yrs old before we try for our hopeful last baby

This time I'm not leaving without you.
I haven't been on as much as I used to be but lurk as much as I can and post when possible. I'm Amanda and I have been married for over 3 yrs. We started TTC in July 2010, had a mmc in august 2011, and had DD in august 2012. She is almost 16 months and so full of energy! She has a strong personality and loves people! She seems to be a lot like my mom since DH and I are both shy and quiet
We are currently TTC #2 since August. I feel ready most days and really want DD to have a sibling close in age since I'm an only child and DH and his brother are 4 yrs apart and not too close.
It's so nice to 'see' you ladies!
Hope everyone has a great holiday!
