Intro (Losses mentioned)

[flyliceandcoffee]

Hi there!

I'm guessing that since this is a Sept/Oct board, there aren't a whole lot of people active yet, but I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself!

We found out last night that we're (hopefully) expecting our third baby. I am a working mom of 2 kiddos, a 4.5 year old (May 13) and a just over 2 year old (Nov 15, but born in Oct). I try to be fairly active with my other two BMBs and I hope to stay and be active here as well.

It came at somewhat of a surprise as we weren't really trying given that we had a MC at 8w in early Nov. I know people say you're more fertile right after, but wow.

We're still very very anxious and nervous because even though we now have 2 wonderful children, the road hasn't been easy. Including the last one, we've had 2 MCs and a CP so our batting average isn't so great. I hope this kiddo decides to stick around!

Looking forward to hopefully getting to know all who join

Welcome!!! We are (slowly) growing! So happy to see you here and I am so sorry for your losses. I know we aren’t supposed to wish away time, but if the first trimester could move a little faster... I certainly wouldn’t hate it!

Looking forward to getting to know you! Do you have an estimated due date?

I'm not entirely sure yet what the doc will set it at, but I think it'll be somewhere around Sept 10-12th... My cycle was a little off since it was the first full one post mc so I know I must've ovulated later than usual but it might've started a lil earlier than I would think as well due to some heavy spotting the days before. All that to say I can wager a guess but they might end up changing it!

So sad that all the intros so far have included losses, but glad that you are here. Welcome!

hahaha it's fly lice and coffee...and story time!

back on TB, and maybe TCF, I can't remember exactly when I changed it, my old sn was crazycoffeegirl. There was some drama on the May13 board at that time which made a lot of people question their privacy shall we say so we almost all either deleted our accounts and/or changed our sn. When I was thinking through what name I wanted, I was having a very hilarious conversation with some mom friends of mine where the conversation went something like "things our ancestors would have told us about how we're raising our kids" or something to that nature. I'm Asian so the joke from me was that my ancestors would have said something like a bunch of gibberish which I then translated to mean something along the lines of "kid eats fly lice (fried rice), I give her fly lice!" My friends suggested I incorporate that into my sn so that's how i ended up with flyliceandcoffee hahahaha.
