Thread: Hello

I doubt anyone remembers me, because I disappeared from the boards December 2008. ***loss mentioned*** I was expecting, but found out at a standard appointment at 13.5 weeks that my baby had stopped growing by 8.5 weeks (right around the time I fell down some stairs). I've thought about saying hi a few times, but didn't want to sound weird, if that makes sense. I wasn't around long enough to get to know anyone very well.

Right after all of that happened, my failing marriage took a nose-dive, and the last few years has been a wild roller coaster. Things have finally returned to somewhat of a sense of equilibrium, and I am 22 weeks pregnant with the boy I always wanted, and I have a husband that I don't have to question (he's also probably going to be adopting my 5 & 4 year old daughters soon too). I think of "what could have been" from time to time, and while my loss brought on the strangest mix of emotions, that was no circumstance to bring a new LO into... and whether or not I would have felt more obligated to stay in a neglectful and unfaithful marriage.

At any rate, I've read a few threads, seen a few pics, and it makes me happy to see such adorable little smiling faces. <3 Just thought I'd check in and say hi! ...and Erin (from this board) now shares the April 2012 board with me, which I think is neat.

Hi Amanda!!!! So happy to hear you are in a happy healthy relationship....bad relationships can be toxic and no place to raise kids. So excited to share April with you!

Hi Amanda!

I'm actually from the July 09 board, but wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss, but very happy you are in a better place now. It sound like your new DH is great and the little boy you wanted is soon to join your family!
