Baby Boots is 10 months old, can you believe it? He is so close to walking. He can stand by himself when he forgets to hold on to something because he's playing with a toy with both hands but if he KNOWS he's not holding on he will sit down on his butt. So it's all in his head. He is amazing and is the center of my universe.
We are currently TTCing #2. Happy to be charting again and trying not to obsess over it as much as I used to!

@serenla My appointment went well! I switched to a new OB and I really like her. She tried to do a doppler check but no luck, so she brought me in for a quickie US and LO is still looking good, squirming around like crazy. She said for me to plan on coming in once a week until I feel like I don't need to anymore, which is amazing. I can't believe Nerdling is 5 months old already!!!
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:6-7
I'm also a dirty lurker. I miss so many of you and am so happy to see all the wonderful updates. Gives me hope for sure. I'm on CD 17 and hoping to O soon. I'm usually a late O-er so nothing new. FX this is the cycle for us!!
:-h Hello!!! FYI, I will totally be chart stalking you!
Thanks for all of the love ladies! I appreciate it and I hate that my post feels so negative in reading it back. I'm trying so hard to get out of this dark place and appreciate every wonderful moment I have with Griffin, but it's tough, I'm not going to lie. Things were getting so much better until we got his OA diagnosis and now I feel like I've been hit by a truck all over again. And the crying is just incessant. I feel like friends IRL just don't get the struggles. I think it's why I've taken such a back seat to posting and keeping up with everyone. I basically have fallen off the face of the earth, even with my family. I couldn't even post my birth story here and try not to talk too much about what's going on because most people just do not understand what it's like to be PAL or PPD.
And @jap618, we do need a New England GTG again soon! Look at all of the amazing babies that have come from our last GTG! Hanging out more often is bound to bring good things for all plus I need to love all up on baby jap! Let's get planning on something soon before winter is in full swing!

So good to see the familiar names here and see what everyone is up to :-) I am 23 weeks, twin girls, everything is so far, so good :-) finally started to feel regular moving- and as I read through all of your posts, one of the girls kept kicking my phone enough to bounce it! So now can feel movement from outside, wow :-)!
Stress about job stuff, and I am pretty homesick still after a whole year in my new locale.... but it's so good to catch a glimpse of familiar when I can get on here.
@KMW08 thank you for this!!! And @PinkCamino once a month seems like a great idea :-) Hugs and love to all!!!!
TTCALER here. I like to luck and check in on the graduates. I hope to join you someday. Currently dpo1 and trying to stay hopeful. Been super busy at work so at least I am distracted by TTC.
Hello! Current TTCALer here... I was lurking today as I'm 4 dpo and officially in my 1st TWW since our loss in August, and this board gives me hope . I haven't been there long but love checking here for updates on our recent graduates that I recognize as well as familiar SNs from A15. Thank you for posting this thread, it was just what I was looking for today!
PGAL: 29w2d. Ahhh so happy! My next apt is at the end of the month then my every 2w apt start. Failed first glucose test waiting on the results of the 3hr.
@porterlove525 My son also got a difficult diagnosis (autism). The months surrounding when we were initially told were the hardest I have ever had. It's tough to switch gears and get your head wrapped around this new normal. We have since done testing on him and are pretty sure his issues are chromosomal (tiny deletion). DH and I are planning to get tested to see if it was inhereted.. and I'm not going to lie...I'm nervous... but it's important to know for his sister and our siblings. Lately DS has been doing so many things I was told he'd never do. :P to those specialists. Kids truly are amazing and resilient
Hello! I disappeared last month because I was under the impression that I got my period last month. Even after getting extremely faint positive tests i did. (5 of them, including the week projection test) I was confused and assumed the positive tests was residual HCG from my miscarriage in May. But, I did a test yesterday. . and there is no doubt about it. A very dark positive test came back. it turned So quickly and So dark, I'm now wondering if I just bled last month but was actually pregnant. So I'm making a Dr's appointment ASAP and will update soon.
