Update from an Old Timer

Oh hai!
I came to stalk your babies (actually they are KIDS now, I can't really call them babies anymore) and I realized I haven't shared an update in a while.
I don't know if you remember me or not (@Cnana still has my badge which makes me smile every time I see it), I was due with my first in Oct 2012 and we lost him at 18 weeks for unknown reasons. His name is Harrison and some kind person (who's SN I wish I could remember) made us a really sweet badge that I still keep in my siggy. We have a memorial stone for him at the family cemetery, we went yesterday to put some new flowers down and introduce him to his new baby brother.
After the loss I had 2 surgeries for fibroids, then we ran through various fertility treatments (femara, IUI, etc.) then we went to IVF, had a reasonably good cycle but the first transfer ended in a c/p. We were on a break cycle prepping for a FET and BAM, natural BFP! And here he is, 4.5 months old. His name is Isaac Finley. He came a month early and was LBW due to pre-e, but you'd never know it now, he's almost 13 pounds and is meeting all the milestones for a term baby. He's happy as can be and he melts his mama's heart when he giggles. We are so blessed.
Just wanted to say I think about all of you sometimes and I remember all the support that you gave me when we lost Harrison and I appreciate it so much!
We will be starting work on #2 in a few months. Squeeeee! Wish me luck! I see some of you are already working on or have HAD subsequent babies which is fabulous!
