My mom got in LATE last night. She missed her original flight (long story). Tyler is happily playing with her now, and in a little while we'll be leaving to head south to visit my grandparents for the day.
Warning, triggers (may be sensitive material): Anyway, one year ago today I got a positive pregnancy test. I was elated, absolutely elated, as I had been charting and all that jazz for almost a year in an attempt to get pregnant (of course we weren't "trying" for a full year because you'd need your partner to be in the same country for that to happen....but that's a whole different vent). So, anyway, on January 19th I woke up to a dream that I was pregnant, and against my better judgement, I took a test. Positive! Well, the pregnancy had problems almost from the beginning, which I tried to overlook and be optimistic, but 1 month and 1 day later I got the news that there was no longer a heartbeat (I had seen his/her little heart beating just 6 days before that). So, at 9w1d I learned I miscarried. Anyway, I'll spare you the brutal details because I'd prefer to not focus on that, but almost a full month later I had to go in for a D&C. Here I am, one year later, still trying. I had hoped not to reach this milestone. I was devastated on September 24th, my due date, but I honestly didn't think I'd ever get to the one year anniversary of my positive test. So, in a nutshell, I think this is a big contributor to my "funk" I described a few days ago. Just wanted to get that off my chest. Hopefully I haven't upset anyone.

I hope you're feeling better real soon!
I understand how you feel, wanting a baby and having it not happen quickly. I'm sure that babysitting your neighbor's liitle one only makes the longing more intense. I truly believe that the smell of a baby triggers some sort of hormonal thing in a woman.
I hope things work out for you sonner rather than later.
I'm so sorry Heather. Hugs to you!!
It took me a lot longer to have Joshua than I expected. I got pregnant with Shawn within two months of trying but Joshua was a different story. Of course everyone in the playgroup was getting pregnant at the time so I was definitely feeling a little anxious. Especially after I heard Wendy was pregnant (she said she had a difficult time getting pregnant with Tyler). Thank goodness I was already pregnant when I heard Andrea was pregnant (she had a difficult time also) LOL. Anyway, hang in there. I'm very sorry you have to go through this.
Hopefully great big beautiful +++++++++++++++ signs will be coming your way soon! Hugs!
