The Baby Inside
I did get lots of support from lots of places -- this forum as well. I
started posting here about a year before I got pregnant, so knew lots of people here by the time we got the Nathan's diagnoses. I don't mind talking about it. The grief and pain are very dim by now, but it's something that is always there, and colors the way that I see everything. Someone posted something, in another ng I believe, about having their kid go off to first grade, and not wanting to give them a hug or kiss goodbye. The subject of the post was "Every mother's worst nightmare!" I just had to laugh, because it was by far, the farthest thing from every mother's worst nightmare that I can think of. In fact, knowing as many women dealing with primary infertility as I do, I can tell you that situation is every want-to-be-mother's dream. If that was in this ng, I hope I haven't offended anyone. It just struck me as a "funny" situation. I'm sure to them, it was a nightmare and a terrible thing -- to have their baby not want a kiss from mommy, but to me, having experienced what I can easily label every mother's worst nightmare, it just wasn't. Anyway, thanks for the cyberhugs and support. Even 6 years down the road, it's nice to feel that compassion from people. And yes, adoption is an amazing thing, and I count my blessings every day. I'm so incredibly lucky to have Taylor in my life. -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clark_guest, Password: Guest1 Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Handmade Baby Blankets -- www.geocities.com/digit_the_cat/Blankets.html |

Kat Mama to Maggie 11/03/01 and #2 EDD 02/01/04 Thanks. My first adoption experience has been wonderful.

Jamie,
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, it must have been horrible, I hope that your adopting experience will fill your heart btw, I looked at some of your photos, Taylor looks gorgeous!! Leanne EDD: April 23rd 2004 Sort of. We found out at our 18 week u/s that Nathan was developing with a giant omphalocele -- the majority of his internal organs were in a pouch outside his abdomen. We had an amnio to see if his chromosomes were normal, and went for a detailed echocardiogram, to see how his heart was doing. His heart wasn't as strong as they would have liked, but his chromosomes were normal. We continued with testing, u/s, and talking to various pediatric surgeons, and finally made the tough choice to end the pregnancy. The more we looked into his condition, the more small problems we found (fluid on the heart and lungs, twisted spine, etc), until it just became clear (for us) that he wouldn't likely survive to term. I went through labor and delivery a week or so later, at about 23w4d, and Nathan was born still. Since losing Nathan, I've had 5-6 chemical pregnancies, and 2 blighted ovums, plus a donor egg IVF (one of the blighted ovums) and a failed IVF. Apparently I've got an immunity issue that prevents me from staying pregnant. I'm sort of done with the whole ttc thing, and have moved on to adoption as the way to build my family. So unless I have an oops that goes well past the heartbeat phase, the chances of me having another magic belly moment are slim to none! Thanks for your compassion and asking about it. -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clark_guest, Password: Guest1 Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Handmade Baby Blankets -- www.geocities.com/digit_the_cat/Blankets.html |

It has, so far. If baby #2, and the adoption experience, is anything like
the first go round, I think my heart will explode. : ) -- Jamie & Taylor Earth Angel, 1/3/03 Check out Taylor Marlys -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clark_guest, Password: Guest1 Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password Handmade Baby Blankets -- www.geocities.com/digit_the_cat/Blankets.html "Leanne" wrote in message ...
