Chiming in kinda late here…

Just wanted to tell you that I have zero advice to offer in the area of getting prego…but I can say this: my life hasn’t turned out the way I expected or planned. I think we all make plans, whether intentional or unintentional. We want to be married by X age, want to have kids by X age, want to have a successful career by X age…it sounds so cliche, but I think now that I have JUST recently been able to let go of my plans, not only am I the HAPPIEST I have been in my life, but I truly have faith that God knows my life plan….not me. (He has a man out there for me…hopefully over 6’0″ tall!)

I HATE saying it, but do hang in there and know that one day when you have Moosh’s little baby brother or sister in your arms, you will know why you weren’t “supposed” to have a Mini-Moosh right now.

Indy misses you!

HP Magic Giveaway entry :

I live in a community where the kids are living freely, simply and without a care in the world. It seems we are far from the outside world for I think that the state of the art technology they know is a colored tv. Its a tragedy that after graduating from grade school, most kids stop from attending secondary school and work to earn money. I wish I could make a difference in their lives. With this Xmas season I think in my own way, I can make a difference for them , a change for a brighter future. I would love to donate most of those HP pc to the grade school in our community, by doing this I believe, a tomorrow full of promise are waiting for them. I may not be the only person that could touch their life, but HP and likewise this blog administrator. I guess, if given the chance, this may be the best thing I have ever done to people who I personally don’t know yet I want to be a part of…

I came across your blog on Stumble and have spent all morning reading. I also have a 4 year old daughter who is in love with pink, sparkles and anything remotely dress-up like, and I could have written this post. I just went through my second miscarriage (to go along with 2 chemical pregnancies) since last Thanksgiving, and I keep going back and forth between being angry and being thankful. Angry about the baby that isn't here, and about the fact that my little one still isn't a big sister, and thankful because I know we aren't the wealthiest people in the world and I puked for 7 months straight with my first. It sucks, and it hurts and I'm so sorry. But I wanted you to know there's someone else out there that knows and understands. I'll just keep praying that it happens for both of us soon.

I totally feel for you. My daughter-in-law had a serious uterin infection after her first baby (delivered by C-section). Since then she has been able to conceive but not carry to term. After 15 years and over 20 losses, they have quit trying. The most hurtful thing is when total strangers ask them why they only have one child -- and assume it is out of selfishness. My youngest daughter has had numerous miscarriages due to polycystic ovarion disorder. We too are LDS, and it is so hard when everyone else is having babies and she only has losses. Good luck and God bless. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Connies last blog post..HP is giving away computers

I totally hear that you're going through. After suffering with sickness through my first pregnancy, I swore I'd never do it again. When I changed my mind, I felt like I would NEVER get pregnant. Now that I finally did, I've got hyperemesis gravidarum and there are days I wish that I never got pregnant. It's an emotional roller coaster and one that's not fun to ride. It's scary and I'm totally sending you positive thoughts. Now that I'm reading over that, it sounds bad, like I'm telling you to NOT get pregnant. I just want you to know that I felt the same emotional turmoil you are going through. Megs last blog post..In the Words of Donkey, “PICK ME! PICK ME!”

Casey - just discovered your site and this post. I would like to add another HUGE thank you to your long list. My husband and I have been struggling with infertility for the past three years (with one ectopic pregnancy that landed me on the operating table one sunny afternoon last January). Blogging about it has been very therapeutic for me – but reading your post was like getting a much needed hug. I’m sending you positive thoughts and internet hugs.

Oh sweetie, I want to reach in and give you a hug! My husband and I wanted to have a bunch of children too, and after our first two girls, we had so many miscarriages (10). It is so devastating to not be able to bring a wanted baby into this world, when you have so much love to give.
Heavenly Father knows that you are a loving mother, and he knows of your desires. Be patient. Center yourself. If it is to be, then it will be. Love that sweetie you have. I missed those little years with my baby girls, because I was so concerned with trying to have more babies, and I wish I could go back and have those days to play in the park, jump in the leaves- be a kid right along side my daughters. They grow so fast and now my two girls are teenagers, and now they want to jump in the leaves with their friends- not mom.
Don’t be discouraged. Keep your faith. I know how hard it is to see all these other ladies with their sweet little bundles. I realize now why Heavenly Father blessed me with the two I have, because my first daughter has been diagnosed with Aspergers, and it has been a very difficult road for her. We found out about 6 months after my last miscarriage. I think Heavenly Father knew MY limits. I am not saying this is your case, but maybe he wants you to share more time with your other child and husband first. Love the experience, have peace. You are a Queen. You will have many children if not in this life, in the life to come. May blessings be poured out upon you and your sweet family.

I have no answers. Only deep affection. I send that and great hopefulness that the wonderful mother you already are will get the chance to bless another child with that gift of mothering. MommyTimes last blog post..Photo Wednesday: New Pajamas Edition

After three years of trying to get Princess and another 3 years of trying to make her a big sister I know exactly what you are talking about. It is amazing what relatives and strangers will ask you regarding family size and fertility. Many people should count their lucky stars that I am such a pacifist. And now that I'm 6 weeks pregnant? There is this part of me that refuses to believe, to enjoy being pregnant and dream about holding my baby in my arms because something could happen. Every day I fervently pray that the little parasite stays alive and my body continues to provide a loving hospitable environment. Good luck!

My hubby (SciFi Dad) sent me here, specifically to this post. I wanted to tell you that you will succeed when you least expect it. People can be rude and insensitive about this topic, that is for sure. Try not to feel the pressure. It WILL happen! I'm thinking of you!!! After over a year and a half of trying for our second, it finally happen-a day that I was beginning to think would never come! Multi-Tasking Mommys last blog post..Yesterday...
