Forum: Parenting after a Loss - Infant/Child

I know I've been non-existant here for a long time, but I don't know where else to post. I friend at work lost one of her twins today. She's known since about 10-11 weeks that one of her twin sons (from IVF) was MUCH smaller than the other, but both were growing and had strong heartbeats. The docs...

Happy birthday!!! :bday4::bday4: I hope you have a great day!

Please come out wherever you are!

I have this over whelming feeling.... I just came over me while I was chatting with a friend on FB. This fear... of losing my kids. I swear... being a loss mommy is cruel. Just because I lost the twins and have 3 living children, I fear it happening again. This fear of someone taking them, or...

Yesterday morning I was on my computer and I looked at my blog post from the night before. I featured my son that day sleeping, and him sleeping the day he was born in a warming bed in the NICU. He was more or less looking the same. My son looked at the photo of him on the warming bed and said...

We don't celebrate but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy hearing about any plans. :)

I hope you have a happy anniversary! Hope you do something fun and have a nice meal! :)

DH has a job interview coming up soon that is for a position back in Boston. If he gets this position I want to move back to the same area that we were living in when we got married (North Cambridge). Well we started TTC right when we got married. I was on the cycle that many of us were on,...

So sorry I forgot about this till now. :blush: Did she have a happy birthday on Saturday? Happy birthday!

I was going through my triplet blog the other day and I realized I forgot what my children were like in the ultrasounds. I wish I could bottle up my memories so I wouldn't have to worry about loosing the memories I have of all of my children. :cry:

I just got back from a monthly potluck that a group that I belong to does. There is a mom there that had a baby back in May and she knows I am counting down the days till I can try to get pregnant again. So she always gives me my "baby fix" when I see her. Well as she was getting her other...

Big hugs!!! :hug: :grouphug: Hope all is well with everyone!

That there are so many people that are not feeling like they need this board anymore. If you are new, welcome! I am sorry that you find yourself here. It certainly is a bittersweet place to be. :hug: Please post any dates you feel comfortable with posting in our thread...

Please share anything you are thankful for this Sunday. I will go first: I am thankful that the hurricane wasn't worse for us then it was. I am thankful that my minor accident that I was in on Friday was minor. I am thankful that today it a beautiful day. I am thankful that my son continues...

I am so sorry you have cancer. I don't know why it is EVERYWHERE right now but it better stop! Seriously I didn't know anyone with it since my grandfather died of it in 2008 and now I have had it, my uncle had it, my step father has it still (very slow growing, odds are he will die of natural...

However I was just checking that everyone is okay. :hug: Drop a line when you have a chance. :) As for me, it looks like we will find out where we are going by the end of next week. Not ideal for me but neither is any of this. I would really like to know where we are going by the end of this...

This has been coming for awhile now but it's time that I let all of my fellow fters know. I am stepping down as Co-BC of this board. At one time this place was my life line, my only support and my passion. It still is in many, many ways. However, in recent months I haven't been able to give it my...

Please list something that makes you smile...

at least till I develop that last roll of film that I have. Today I went through the box that we had thrown stuff into that was from before I went into the hospital with the triplets and after Emily died. I went through it today and I must say, it wasn't any easier 5 years out. :yuck: However it is...

Yesterday, I was cleaning out part of the basement and I ran into a box that had some papers in it. I noticed that many of them were old insurance papers. So I was checking for our name or anything on them then tossing them. In there I saw a large envelope and didn't recognize where it was from....

I just can't do this anymore. I have been trying to keep the strong the face up and be a good BC here, but I've been doing less and less and less. And the guilt gets more and more and more. I'm stepping down, effective immediately. I still love you all so much and I will still be by. But I...

I obviously have no plans right now. I have to wait for my DH to get a job then I can really start making plans but with him not having a job I am planning for everything. :laugh: The only things I know for sure are: 1) July 31 will be my 5 year anniversary of giving birth to my trio. Also the...

Today I took DS with me to get my port flushed. He knows what the port is (at least that blood comes out of it and it needs to be "flushed"). Well the triage nurse ordered labs that I didn't need so I has to wait for them to get that figured out. We were in a chemo room for the port flush and DS...
