Hello Sweet Friends,
Some of you may not know me that well, but I have been on this site for a year now. During that time I have forged friendships with some beautiful women and today I was looking back on things and wanted to pass along "success". Yes, I said success!
As I was thinking of all the ladies I have met here, many have gone on to hold babies in their arms, others are now holding growing babies in their tummies and one very special friend is awaiting a miracle baby through adoption :)
These ladies Welcomed Babies:
Evelyn
Sabrina
Katie
Bethany
Eva
Cobie
These ladies are growing babies in their tummies:
Shandrea
Ladybug
Lee
Melissa
Kelly
Malika (Papillon)
Wanda
This lady is expecting her miracle through adoption (and I can't wait, as I'm so happy for her)
Deni
I suppose what I am trying to say is this, the list of those who've lost and gone on to know success is growing and that makes me SO happy :) I look to this list for HOPE and it fills my heart, as I know I WILL be a mother...one way or another and that is all that matters to me.
Much love and if I missed anyone please add your name to this post of success stories. For those of you waiting, like me, I offer love and prayers, as I know this road gets long and tiring. Just continue to lean on HOPE and rely on FAITH and anything is possible.
xoxo
Andrea

Your courage, grace, warmth, and vulnerability makes you stand out as a woman, a wife and a future mom to lucky child (children). I guess nothing worthwhile comes easy to some of us. It a journey that has lead us through this medium to vent, to share and to bond.
Thank you for your kindness again and again. I cannot think of a better candidate as a 'mom' to be in near future than you Andrea.
There is a reason why so many of us share good wishes towards you, your name again and again pop into us all touched by your grace.
I am certain that you will hold your baby in future. Live, breathing, crying and laughing in all...
Thank you.

Lee and Wanda,
I'm in tears, as you are both so sweet and your words mean so much to me. My motto is "Do Unto Others", which was passed along to me by a very dear friend who I met right here. He name is Ladybug and she walked with me along a very treacherous road, as did Deni, Shandrea, Angie H., Bethany, Malika, Lily, Evelyn, Cobie and Katie (and countless others). These ladies were my rock then and now. All I can do is return the favor and pray that I can lend comfort just as was leant to me.
Be Well Dear Friends,
xoxo
Andrea

Andrea,
Is Ladybug who I think it is, and What is her baby status? The two of you were so kind to me when I came here.

Jenn,
Yes, Ladybug is who you think she is ;) Her baby status is great! She is 34 weeks and doing well, despite some Braxton Hicks contractions that don't seem to want to let up...and she is having difficulty with back pain, but is ever so grateful to have a growing little girl :) I'll keep you posted.
I do hope that you are well and thank you again for all the kind words, which mean so much :)
Sweetest Katie,
All I can say is Awww! Can I just say Ditto :) You mean all the same things to me. You lifted me on many days when I was low and have never failed to encourage me along and shower me with love and prayer. I have a special place for you in my heart :) Although I wish I never had suffered loss, I have been blessed through pain in so many ways. And, for that I am grateful.
Much love to you too sweet friend. I pray for you and your family always. Kiss little Hayden for me!
xoxo

You are already a mother, and a wonderful one at that! You will soon learn of an earthly angel on the way, and I can't wait to hear that news! I know it's going to happen for you soon.
It's women like you who make me want to become a surrogate mom.
If you are on Facebook, I would be honored to add you as a friend.
Much love,
Bethany

Andrea you are a wonderful person and during my difficult time you gave me so much support as did lady bug and I am so happy to hear she is having a little girl she must be over the moon. See miracles do happen and it will happen for you. I think about you a lot and pray that you will have your little one very soon.
I don't visit here much anymore as I find it difficult knowing I will never have another baby.
It is wonderful to read about all the babies been born and the pregnancies of the girls who were on this site when I first came here for support over a year ago.
Take care sweet friend.
xxxx

Andrea - You are such a kind, thoughtful, positive person. We are all so fortunate to have such a wonderful person like you to lean on. You deserve so much happiness, and I know it will find you.
Shandrea - I'm so happy to hear that you are pregnant! You and I both were expecting little ones in April, but your precious one arrived too early. My heart still aches for your lost angel. Love and hugs to you and your sweet baby on the way.
I haven't been on here much at all, but I think of you all very often. I still pray that everyone's dreams come true.

Andrea, what a sweet and such a selfless post...you are such a wonderful person and it shows in everything you do! I am still so honored to be your toe twin, you will never rid of me!!! hehe :) Love you!
Jenn - thanks so much for asking about me and figuring out who I am (wink wink)!! Wish I could be the real me on here but its not possible. We are doing good and hanging onto hope that all will be well. I have a cerclage removal scheduled for the 16th so we shall see if the ol' cervix would have held without it. ANyhow, I think of you and all of the other ladies on here often and wish you all the best...hugs and love! L xxx
Katie - I miss you - I sent you an email but I am sure you are super busy....hugs Hayden for me! love to you xxx
Love to you all xxx

Oh Girls, my precious friends who never fail to rally around me and lift me up :) Honestly, I am at a loss for words....
Thank you for believing in me, having FAITH in my journey, loving me and for "walking with me". I owe much gratitude to each and every kind soul who makes this road so much smoother. I've often wondered "why" this happened to me, but through this storm I realize this...I HAVE BEEN BLESSED through grief.
Much Love to all of you who are carrying miracles and may God keep you safe.
To those like me, who are awaiting our miracles, may we stand strong together and forge on in persuit of our fairytale.
And, for one very dear friend whose heart is hurting very badly at this moment...I send love and continued prayers to you my kindred spirit. We started this process together and we will finish it together. I promise ;)
xoxo

Sweetest Wanda,
Thank you so much for the sweet words, as it is through so many women, like you, that I find the will to keep going. This road is not easy, but we trudge on in search of the one thing to complete our lives.
I appreciate the prayers and will openly accept them any time :)
Please let me know how you are doing. I pray for you as well and pray that god holds you and your growing baby close.
Much Love
andrea

Katie,
Thank you for the hugs! I feel them :) And they could not have come on a better day. Today, Friday, I start my first round of Clomid followed by an ovidrel injection and then back to back IUI's. I'm nervous, cautiously optimistic and just plain overwhelmed. So, say a little prayer for me :)
Hope that you are doing well. I'm doing okay, just staying busy and trying not to focus on what I can not change, but just rock along with what life hands me from day to day...realizing my blessings and being thankful for the abundance. And, trying to strengthen my walk with God :)
Have a great weekend and sending you many HUGS in return.
xoxo

Lily,
So happy to know that you are also taking Clomid :) Today was the last dose for me and so far the side effects have been mild, only a dull headache the first day I took it.
Yes, I feel as if I am in good hands and like my RE. Hopefully, I will trigger some time next week with the ovidrel and then we shall see how things go from here. I'm cautious to not get excited, although it does feel good to have a plan and be fortunate enough to have options. I continue to TRY and realize my blessings, but I will admit its very hard. Just this week my brother announced that he and my SIL are expecting baby #2. The news hit me hard, as I was reminded once again of how long this road can be. BUT, I forge on, Keep the FAITH and BELIEVE :)
Keep me posted on you! Sending you loads of baby dust and many hugs.
ps how is your business? any more possible buyers?
