January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

Hobbs, it seems you have no trouble getting pg still, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. And hey, maybe it's a sign that another boy is on the way with it taking some time!

thank you hobbermittens, i went in for my 20 week scan and heard its a girl so i left in tears. the next day my dr called and said my cervix looked short and to go back in another week for another scan. so at 21 weeks i went in dr called and said umm its still short and now its funneling at the end come in and let me check you. i was dialted to 2cm. which i blew off i was stuck at a 4th for a month with the last one. but he said he wanted to sew my cervix shut. so i was admitted and i had to wait a few more days or an o.r. the night before my surgery i was 22 weeks and went into labor. they think it could have been an infection in my amnionic fluid but they aren't for sure. she was born alive and still in her sac. her eyes were fused but she was kicking and trying to breath. 3 docs were there and said ,"shes not considered viable until 25 weeks." and they left so i held her for 2 hours and said good by. it was hard on the kids they came wanting to see their new baby and i didn't have one to show them. so when i did my mega boy sway for number 6 and got twin girls i wasn't too heartbroken. we lost one but dd number 6 is such a blessing. and i had no problems with her so fx i get the same good luck with this one.

Hey chickadees! Lots going on over here! 5 I am eagerly awaiting the results of the latest blood work; FX it is a sitch like Jen's DD ... c'mon sticky baby!!!!!!

Ah Lola, you've got the craps eh?!? I.love.typos. Seriously. Have any of you ever read the website that posts all the auto-corrects from iPhones? Some of the texts are pretty filthy (because of the autocorrect; the original intent of the sender is usually bland) but it cracks me up. Damn You Auto Correct! - Funny iPhone Fails and Autocorrect Horror Stories

Anyhow ... FX for all the BFP'ers in waiting. Hobber I get what you're saying re: the months spent TTC ... I was actually a little bummed when this pg was a OHW again since both of my girls were as well; I figured it was probably another girl just because of that. I would have had my hopes up for blue more if it had taken me a couple of months to get pg, oddly!

Girlmom it is so hard, the surprise vs. finding out decision! I reeeeally struggled with it this time. DH and I had agreed not to find out this time (he has always wanted a surprise and we found out with the 1st 2) but I couldn't wait, and went and had an us at 16 weeks that he still doesn't know about. If it had been a boy I could've kept the secret but since it is another girl, I got pretty depressed. So then DH thought we should find out (LOL, he didn't know I knew for sure) because if I was THAT upset about it MAYBE being a girl, then he'd rather know in advance. So we "found out" at the 20 week scan. Even though the GD has been tough I've been glad to know. But I think it's such a different experience for every woman that there's no right answer. FX you come to a peace with whichever route you go!

WOW- I can't believe the docs didn't even try to get her out of the sac and see if they could get her living. Did you ask them to? I'm sure she would have had a long and hard road in the NICU though. Well, I do believe that we go through certain things in life to teach us the diving art of letting go of our need and desire to control our own lives sometimes. My losses (although paling in comparison to yours) have erased my gender desire.

Begonia, I have the DYAC app on my iphone and I read it everyday. I love humor like that. I am an internet nerd. You would love this site, too: POPHANGOVER. That is my work relaxing website to be stupid for a few minutes and laugh when I get stressed.

[begonia]

OOOOOH! There's an app for that?!?! LOL. SO going to get it.

i was screaming at the top of my lungs for them to save her. i hated those doctors but now that time has gone by ( 2 years in april) i can honestly say that if she were going to die anyway and really i dont' know of any 22 weekers that made it but i could be wrong. if she were going to die im glad she didn't suffer anymore then she did. she was opening and closing her mouth trying her hardest to breath but i mean if they had taken her from me and jabbed needles into her veins and tubes down her throat and done god knows what to her while i cried and cried.... i mean im glad i got to hold her and be with her and i pray she knew peace and love during her 2 hours with me.
