Hello, Ladies!
Wow, things have changed! New format, new faces. A couple I remember from my last stint on this board.
I'm Daniele, I live in Maine but am originally from CT. I was on this board for 15 months while TTC my dd who is now 10 months old. I had one loss in the process, but am hopeful that this next attempt will be easier and won't include a loss or require any visits to the RE (both times I had appointments, I got a BFP that morning). I *just* got Aunt Flo a couple weeks ago finally, so we're trying for number 2 while we know my uterus and ovaries may still be working.
Nobody understands the crazy that goes hand-in-hand with TTC > 35 like other women in the same boat, so of course I'm back.

I too would LOVE to know how to delete the stupid ticker. I cannot figure it out and I feel like I've tried everything. Baby is NOT the size of a jackfruit. She is the size of a 19-month old. A big 19-month-old at that. Of course, I come on here so rarely now that even if there is an answer to this, I might miss it. :-(
::waves at Becky:: -- very excited for your upcoming transfer! DE remains the best choice I/we ever made. DD is very, very much mine....and we are so deeply bonded. I saw your post about fears/age earlier tonight, and want to say that DH and I share them; I'm 42 now, so you have a few extra years on me, but the fear is the same. Plus I hurt my back during a post-pregnancy Jillian Michaels workout and have now suffered from chronic hip/glute pain for a year; it's sort of become manageable thanks to PT but honestly, sometimes it *is* hard to deal with diaper-changing/kneeling/sitting on the floor/etc. And twisting to use the car seat is hellish. So, yeah, there's all that. But it is all worth it. Fingers crossed for you!
