Intro
Hey– this is a little scary for me but I have been a lurker for several months and finally took the plunge. I want to start off by saying that you are a group of ladies that is SO incredibly strong and beautiful throughout everything that has been going on in your lives and I really respect that. You have been inspirations to me and I have learned so much in such a short amount of time, you have no idea, so thank you all for that!!
A little about me – I am a southern girl at heart, lived in Alabama my whole life. I’m 24, DH is 26. We have 2 puppies that make me laugh. I am not sure about my place on this board as we have not started TTC, but I do have something that has been on my heart to share with you all. As I know many of you have had losses, my mother lost a baby in between me and my younger sister. Kali was born with a cystic hygroma at 32 weeks and she lived a little over an hour. I never got to see or hold her. My mom is very spiritual and has always been a rock through all she has been through in her life – a divorce when I was 2, the loss of Kali, and losing both her parents in one year. She has a blog page about infant loss in honor of Kali (she would have turned 20 last Wednesday). The page is http://www.lisanotes.com/infant-loss/. I asked her permission if I could post the page to this board and she thought it was a great idea. (Warning: there are a few embarrassing pics of me as a child – ha.)
If even one of you finds even ANY amount of comfort through her words than it will make all of this worth it for me. ♥
With all of that being said…I know I am not the one that has experienced a loss but I really felt like I should make this post. Like I said we probably won’t be TTC for another year or so, but if yall would have me I will stick around.

Thank you all so much for the welcome!! I'm truly excited to be here. Such a great support here while thinking about TTC but knowing it will not be for a long time...as well as doing all the lessons and quizzes on FF! Just trying to soak everything in and read baby health books and stuff until it's time. Have tried to just block it all out of my mind but that did not work of course-LOL.
