About Me
I was a social worker working with emotionally disturbed kids until my son was born in 2004. Now I write part time for a local newspaper. I had 5 miscarriages (including one molar pregnancy and one still birth), but was blessed with a baby girl on October 2! My living children are 11, 8, 5 and a newborn.

Thanks hon! I will definitely update later. We are heading home from the hospital today. Hope baby Megan is well!
Celebration
After all that you have been through, you deserve all the happiness with Megan. I am so excited for you. I know that, like the rest of us, you will treasure each moment of her life. Even the dirty dipers and the fussy nights. So happy for you!!
Thanks
Yes we have a lawyer and a barrister, they are certain the best route is to voluntarily place her into foster care in oder to keep our parental rights rather than contest a care order and llose them. She will go to a foster family whilst they asses family members, i can cope if shes with family, she will be so scared and i wont be there, shes with us until thueday next week and then she will be gone, 2 hours of contact 5 days a week isnt parenthood, im staying strong, i wouldnt hurt her, i love her, you were with me on the miscarraige and pregnancy after loss and fertility board , i know your a thousand miles away in another country and only a name on a screen but i treasure your support and hope you have faith in my parenting and know i owuldnt hurt my little one. thank you.
Hug
Hi again, thanks for the hug! I am not even sure how this one will turn out. I am hopping for a vbac, but who knows....I am so glad toknow that Megan has helped heal your pain! That is kind of what I am hoping with this pregnancy, I guess. Go thru it again, but this way, the right way...I hope that that will bring me some closure too, and healing. I am so glad things turned out just great for you this time around!

We started trying for another baby at the end of 2006. Since then I have had 3 miscarriages (one in Feb 2007 at 9 weeks, one January 2008 at 16 weeks) and one in August 2008 at 18 1/2 weeks. I also had 2 early miscarriages (at 6 and 7 weeks) between my 7 and 10 year old. I just found out I am pregnant again (due on October 12) and am really hoping and praying this is the one that sticks.
