I was just wondering about you ladies. I'm 9dpo and dh and I have been looking at houses and there's a lot of really stressful stuff going on in our lives, so honestly, I hope I'm not pregnant. This isn't how I want to find out - when I'm amped up and suffering from insomnia.

Fluff, sorry about the crud. Do you have an actual date you'll leave on your mission?

Baking, how are things? What about the rest of you ladies that occasionally pop in?

Thinking of you all often.

Hi Ladies, I am still lurking and thinking of you. Mo & Fluff, I am not a religious person but I do keep you both in my thoughts. I participate in a forum where we are all grouped by our due date month, about 12-15 babies have been born that have survived since 24ish weeks. One in particular, was only 10 days behind me and had her little girl at 23w6d. She keeps a public blog that makes me tear up some days at the sheer miracle that the little girl is still alive. stacymking.blogspot.com - if you want to see the pictures. A couple of ladies have lost babies since we passed 24 weeks, which is incredibly heartbreaking to hear for them. I can't even imagine going through all of this and then having a nearly full term baby that doesn't make it. I am 29.5 weeks now and feel baby girl moving a lot. I find it comforting most of the time so that I know she is still okay but I am starting to worry about preterm birth or complications. Everyone says that is a normal concern, but when you have had miscarriages, that sense of security has been ripped away. Of course at 3AM, the kicks are annoying as heck but I still cherish the very life I have inside of me.

I am rooting for both of you and wish nothing but baby dust for both of you. Only those of us that have TTC unsuccessfully for months or have had miscarriages understand the disappointment when AF arrives each month.

In the past I mentioned it, but I swear it made a difference for my energy levels and after doing it for 6-8 weeks, I had this successful pregnancy, but I started reading The Lean by Kathy Freston. I didn't follow the recommendations to a T, but a lot of the information is science and fact based about stuff we consume that can impact fertility and our overall health. It may have been coincidence, but I found myself more clear headed after just the first few habits plus with much more natural energy.

Wishing the best for you ladies!

Hi Girls!!! Most of you don't know me but my name is Lizzy and I am one of the orignal 5 :) I haven't written here in quite a while but come back and check on you often. All the new faces and stories are wonderful to see and I always keep you all in my prayers.

FLUFF...oh honey!!! I keep praying for you and just know that that things are going to work out. I just KNOW IT. I am excited to read about your mission and maybe it is just what you need :)

LILY...old friend your baby is BEAUTIFUL!!! I have been meaning to send you a message and I still will soon but I just wanted you to know that you have been in my thoughts and that your girl is just amazing!!! I love her name too!! :)

I am currently 34 weeks 2 days pregnant with a baby boy. THings are going fantastically and I am gearing up for the last few weeks. Lots of little aches and pains but all will be totally worth it. He moves around a lot and as a First Time Mom I never knew I could worry myself so much over anything!!! I just hope he is a healthy baby!! So far all is looking great!! :)

I will continue to think of you all and often. Congrats to those mama's who are expecting a LO soon and to the rest of you - keep on ladies - you never know when it is YOUR TIME.

Love to all!!! :)

MoVegas, I am sorry right now you have been stressed out and not sleeping well, I am sorry to hear that and I can understand how house hunting can be... but hopefully you will find a lovely house and life can become less stressful for you. Are you still going for accupuncture?

Sunny, I apperciate that you still think about me and keep me in your thoughts. I am glad to hear your still doing well and already at 29wks (wow) time is flying! I have a friend who has had 2 preterm babies one at 28wks and one at 25wks but both are very healthy boys. and I have a cousin who's baby was born at 25wks.. he is still currently in the hospital but is doing well.. should be coming home in time for Christmas.
I will check into that book.

Lizzy!!! Soo good to hear from you, I can't believe your little boy will be here soon! That is so exciting!!

I will be leaving Feb 15/16 and returning one week later. I have a blog that I need to start using more often and I will post about my trip there and that way you all can follow me and read about my trip. I will try to post a link in here later today.

Fluff, I definitely want to be able to follow your mission - I think it's a wonderful thing for you to be doing.

Sunny and Lizzie you guys are moving right along - it must be so wonderful and exciting! Congratulations on healthy pregnancies - I can't wait to hear about the outcomes - you'll have to post pictures of your beautiful babies for us.

I'm 13dpo. Negative test on Saturday. I'm not going to test again until day 15 or 16. We'll see I guess.

We're putting an offer in on a house today that will require a bit of remodeling - all my friends say the fastest way to get pregnant is to have other plans or be knee deep in a remodel. So I guess we'll see.

Thinking of you all!

MoVegas, I am so sorry AF had arrived...I know that is disappointing but atleast by now AF should be gone and your on your way to a new fresh start... so keep your head up...its going to happen for you one day.
