Hey Ladies this is my 1000th post is there a doorprize? Some confetti maybe???
*Pregnancy mentioned briefly*
I'm here, lurking mostly.
I've been speding a lot of time at the gym working out and trying to lose some weight (10 lbs. so far!!!) before officially TTC again. Once my Dr. is back from Maternity leave(grrrrr) I'll ask for a referral to a genetics counselor. Then we will reevaluate our risks and decide what we should do next.
Ok, that's what I'm telling everybody. The truth is, I have been working out (when I feel like it), I have lost ten pounds!!!!!and we are not using b/c. So, if I get pg before the genetics appt., then so be it. But, we are not officially trying right now.
Thanks for asking about me.
So how are you?

Hey Viv and all I try keeping an eye on things here but its been pretty crazy. Can you believe my dh got a job finally, he's going to be a banker! the irony of ME being married to a financial planner/banker...thats just too funny...i wonder if they have a 'spendaholics' support group for the relatives! ha ha ha!! Its been a wild year, you might remember just after i found out we were pregnant again with Logan he got laid off and i went on bedrest with the high risk stuff so its been a little financially tight, but oh well it was worth it. Logan is almost 6months old...its so hard to believe! He has actually developed the most beautiful blue eyes with long long lashes, i call them 'little girl eyes'. Our story is that Aimee and Dana picked them out for him... i cant believe i'm coming up to what would be the girls 2nd birthday...feb 8... i look at him and imagine what they would look like...every single day.
Gina i'm working on the weight too, you're doing great! I actually have to go back to work soon, my mat leave is up in May which seems so soon to me...i have to get back in shape cuz the bedrest has really done a number on me...my muscles are crap, and the pcos stuff is starting to take over again...i'm a little scary looking Anyway i'm glad things are going well for you Viv...little 'D' is coming along quite well and i'm so happy for you...you've been through alot. Everyone has...take care everyone and thanks for checking up on us Viv...are you on bedrest yet?

I am doing well. I am thinking about going on the South Beach Diet. I am reading the book and getting really motivated about it.
I met with the Gyne Oncologist last week and he is unsure about what to do with my remaining ovary. All the textbooks tell him to remove it...but he knows of my desire to try and get pregnant...so he's trying to be conservative about it and give me a little time.
But other than that, everything is going well. I am so excited for Meghan...Alex is sooo cute! just a miracle!
People tell me i have a mother hen type of quality...so now, I must focus my attention on your pregnancy!!! I am praying for "Little D" knowing that every day he stays in the oven, it is truly a gift!! Hope everything is going well....lay down and stay off your feet!! Drink lots of water!! NO SEX! LOL

I hate SC sometimes! I just had a really long post typed out, and it lost it. ARGH!
Gina, congrats on the 10 pounds AND the 1000th post! Way to go!
Kim, I can't believe Logan's so big now! And congrats on hubby's job!
Diana, South Beach is supposed to be really good - I do Sugar Busters, which is pretty similar. They both focus on healthy carbs (and dark chocolate is allowed in moderation). I don't want to be extra nosy, but are you guys planning on TTC soon?
Baby/Pregnancy mentioned:
We're doing great! 24 weeks today. Rivi was born at 24W6D, so once I get past that, I think I'll breathe a little easier. Dominici's a VERY good boy. He's head down, so he doesn't jump up and down on my cervix like his brother did (which would have driven me insane by now). He's much less active than his brother was, which is exactly what I needed this time around.
Oh Viv, don't worry about be nosey....I am an open book, especially to the women here!
Ali and I have decided to try again....14 months later. Before we weren't actively trying, but we didn't prevent. The unfortunate thing is that I cannot use any fertility medications like clomid to stimulate my ovary. The Docs fear that I may develop an aggressive form of ovarian cancer by using these meds given that I already have a history of a Low Malignant Potential (LMP) Tumor on the ovary that was removed in 2002.
But like most women here, the thought of being PG scares the begeezers out of me. So i will try to loose some weight and see what happens. It's in God's hands. If we don't get pregnant soon, we are really thinking about adoption. I love children, so I"ll take them anyway God choses to send them to me.

Hi there y'all ! Right now things are a little bit crazy, and I still have trouble getting through Fridays especially right around 4:30. (I lost my last little one on a Friday and found out at 4:30) I stare at the clock and pray the time goes quickly and that the next Friday will get easier.
Gina - I am so proud of you for losing that ten pounds, way to go! I really hope that all goes well when you get your appointment with the genetics counselor and that your decisions are made easily. Perhaps you and hubby's not officially trying will lead to a precious little one!
Kim - Congratulations on your hubby getting a job, and a GOOD one at that! I just can't believe that Logan is already almost six months old. What a special thing to be able to see your girls in him.
Diana - You definitely do have a "mother hen" quality and it's really a heartwarming and endearing trait! I'm praying that you and Ali are blessed with another little one and that the decisions regarding your ovary produce a favorable outcome. It really is a scary thing to think about being pregnant again, but I'm so glad that the two of you have decided to try again!
*current pregnancy mentioned*
I feel so guilty that I still grieve over my last loss when I should be happy that Bonnie is doing so well. I'm a little over 22 weeks and incredibly scared that something bad will happen that is sort of overrides the joy of being pregnant sometimes. On the upside, she is very healthy and moves around frequently!
It's so nice to see that you all are doing OK.
Diana, DH and I are talking about adoption also. It's not what I really want but, I believe I am destined to be a Mommy. I feel like pregnancy and childbirth is unfinished business for me. It's like there's something hanging over me that needs to be completed, KWIM? So, we will see what the new year has in store.
Here's some babydust just for you Diana********
(((((Viv))))) rub your tummy for me. Remember, I would be 25 weeks now. 'm so glad things are going so well for you and Smoochie. You will get through this wek just fine. We will all be here to cheer you right into week 25!

Thanks, Gina. The May thread just doesn't seem right without you. I'm praying that you have a successful, full-term pregnancy soon. BTW, I know two women IRL whose infertility problems totally disappeared once they started the adoption process - sometimes, I think it can kickstart things.
Diana, I know that however you end up with your babies, you're going to be an incredible Mom to them! I'm still hoping for a miracle pregnancy, though!
I WANT A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER WITH FRIES AND A DIET PEPSI from WENDYS!!!
Whew! i had to get that out of my system. The diet is going well. i lost 15 pounds in 5 days....mostly water. So from 320 down to 305. Yeah girls...that big! I am all belly....and dh calls me buttless! LOL I just wish I could move the fat from my belly and put it where my butt is! LOL I would give J-LO a run for her money...but not with the butt i have now! LOL
Okay ladies, I am off to be to dream of Suzy-Q's!!! ARGHHHHH

Diana i just want you to know that i've lost 4lbs in 3 weeks...so YOU GO GIRL!!!!
And as for adopting...i'm so glad...i know you want your biological baby and you've all been through so much...when i hold Logan i think of all the little ones out there in the world who dont have a loving mommy...you will be so happy you did that!!! Theres a child out there holding out their arms for you...keep us posted!!!
Angela i so relate to those conflicting feelings its incredibly hard to be happy and sad at the same time...i'm glad Bonnie is doing so well...
Viv...you better have your feet up and enjoying yourself!! or i'm gonna tie you up myself!!! I'm glad things are looking so good...keep taking care of that lil Dominici!!!! (sorry if i mispelled that )
As for me, i'm wishing i was pregnant again too. I was cleaning out my stuff, and its just all over for me...no more ttc-ing, nothing. I'm sad about the thought of never trying again, or having a baby girl...i cant believe where the past 6 months has gone...its been a rough couple years lemme tell ya! I sort of dont know what to do with myself...losing weight would be nice but my fatstores are emotionally attached to my butt and wont leave
oh well, off to get another glass of water...ugh...
hugs all
