Wanting Our girl

Our journey to a DD, after a tubal reversal and SIDS

My journey to add to our family has only just begun.... My baby girl passed away five years ago this past January 3rd. This April I will be having my tubes reversed so that we can try to have another DD. I have started taking the basic supplements and have begun exercizing and have lost ten pounds.. so far.. 

I wouldnt say that im obese, but I am over weight, I am 166 pouds and about 5' 7" .. So I could stand to lose some weight..

 I am ready to have another baby! Sure, I will have moments of panic.. but this is why I did wait 5 years after Autums death.. So that I could be sure that I could do it again, without "freaking out"..

 I am going to be taking some steps to "hopefully" provide the best environment as our new baby will grow in me.. (that is if the reversal is successful)

I thank all the women on this site that have already given me so much hope, and so many prayers.. I feel the encouragement through each post. Encouragement and empowerment.. that I CAN do this!

I will be swaying for another DD. I have three beautiful boys in my home, who also want a little sister...

Thank you for coming along on this journey with me.. i look forward to all of your tips and advice in TTC a DD..

I will be praying for you and I hope your dream comes true. I just found out I am pregnant, I also want a girl. If it worked for me I will let you know all the things I did to sway. Good luck with your surgery.

About Wanting Our girl

I am the mother of four beautiful children. I am on this site hoping to find support.. I have quite the story. My name is Janelle and I am a military wife. My husband and I have three boys 10, 8 &7, and one daughter. This is my story:

In March 2003 my DH deloyed with the 101st Abn div and was fighting in the first waves of the attack on Iraq. I had three boys and was only 2 months pregnant when he left. It was the toughest year of my life. He was gone, he was in a WAR ZONE, I had to move my three babies, all under the age of three to our first new home. PREGNANT! On September 20,2003 I gave birth to our first girl, and sent the Red Cross Message to my husband. She was beautiful , HEALTHY..... My hubby was fortunately able to come home and see her when she was just one week old. He spent 14 whole days out of the year with us. On January 3rd, 2004 Autum was just 3 months and 14 days old, and died in my arms as she slept that morning. SIDS......

 

Heres the kicker... the day after she was born I had my tubes tied... We were definately done. We had three wonderful boys and finally ...a girl... that makes 6..We're done!! Now just a little past 5 years later, here I am with an Appt. in April to get a tubal reversal.... I'm so nervous.. Its been so long, sure we were fertile! We had babies just about once a year... Now its been over 5 years.. I'm NERVOUS! We are "swaying for a girl", but really wouldnt care either way... We dont want to replace our Angel... We just want to love another baby some day... [pray]
