Beaksie: First let me say

Second, I really think we must be living parallel lives (do you hear the Twilight Zone theme?). The same thing happened to me re: no bleeding for the longest
time during my last mc. I thought the bad stuff was behind me too - after all, I know someone else who had 2 mc but went on to have 2 healthy girls. I
thought that would be me (hoping it still will be! ). Sounds like you have 2 bros & 1 sis. Too weird. Tell me, are you also the oldest? Just curious how far this Twilight Zone thing goes! My mom told me this last time about how 3 of 4 pgs end up in mc. So I want to know, how is it that she has 4 kids out of 5 pgs and I have 1 out of 4? My sister had 1 mc and one of my SIL's had 1 mc but all the rest are mine. Each of my bros and sis have 2 kids plus mine so that's 7 kids and 5 mc's - 3 of which are mine. Now how fair is that? Not that I wish an mc on anyone - ever. I'd just like fewer for me too! So, on a purely selfish note, since we seem to be living parallel lives, you must now get yourself a sticky one so I can too! But seriously, best wishes for a BFP very soon! And btw, what a cutie you have!

LSB: I have often thought about just what you said about appreciating your little one so much more. I know most moms love their kids with all their hearts but I really feel like I have such a very, very special one. I have infinite patience with her (okay, so far - she hasn't hit the terrible 2s & 3s yet!). I never complaned while pg w her and I don't complain now about misbehaving or getting me up in the middle of the night on occasion. I just feel so lucky to have her, how could I? And, yes, my DH can really be a tool sometimes (you cracked me up with that!) - can't they all? But he's going to at least let me try and I really can't ask for more. I agree that sometimes you just have to kind of keep them in the dark
about the tracking. That's part of the reason I can't temp - but hopefully my little predictor kit and staying calm about all this will work anyway.

Annabelle: Welcome! I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you'll be moving to PAML before you know it! And you are right, the innocence is gone forever which is
very sad indeed. But littlescottishboy is right too - when you do eventually have one (and you will), you will appreciate him/her in a way that someone who has not been through this could.

to all!
