Hi.
I'm Rebecca. Some of you may remember me. I came here a little over two years ago, when my son was stillborn. Things were bad, he was really sick. There was a lot of concern that it was genetic. Oh, also, I'm infertile. Lots of other obstacles. So things were not looking good. I got a lot of support here (Celena, I'm looking at you). But 7 months after Ethan was born, I got pregnant again. It was a very rough pregnancy topped by a 2 week NICU stay, but my son Grant made it. A friend of mine just had a loss, and we were talking about TTCAL, and it made me think of you lovely ladies. So I thought I'd drop by here with a video of Grant. For those of you who are feeling up to watching up, I thought it might lend you some support. Because if I can beat the odds and have a kid, well I think pretty much everyone can.

I can't watch the video right now, but only because DH is watching TV and he'd fuss at me playing sound right now to compete with The Shield. I'm so happy you have two beautiful little boys to love and grow with
