As Loribeth said, you did a great job!<br /><br />I come from a different neighborhood than you (adoption) and you helped me understand yours better. Wishing you the best as you pursue Baby #2.<br /><br />And best wishes to your dad as well.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591916707052146795.post-27072191616090749462009-07-01T12:47:07.377-06:002009-07-01T12:47:07.377-06:00I am so glad that you joined along and I hope you&...I am so glad that you joined along and I hope you'll keep doing the book club.<br /><br />There was a whole chapter on secondary IF that was cut. It was probably 20 pages or so. I really wish it could have remained in (as is, the book was over 600 pages so a lot had to be trimmed).<br /><br />I actually think it's smart to skip reading them if you're not ready (and hopefully, you won't need them). It's always there to return to if you want to read it in the future, but why do something uncomfortable?Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591916707052146795.post-16824272198994830742009-06-29T23:31:18.140-06:002009-06-29T23:31:18.140-06:00I completely understand not wanting to get into ce...I completely understand not wanting to get into certain things "yet" (if ever). My thought was the same as Loribeth's -- that it will be a helpful resource if you ever do need to deal with any of those options to have this book, as well as the rest of the blogosphere.<br /><br />Good luck, and congrats on your first Book Brigade!Baby Smiling In Back Seathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483533946303787478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591916707052146795.post-66033201851273033402009-06-29T22:54:29.047-06:002009-06-29T22:54:29.047-06:00Reading this made me tear up for you; I hope your ...Reading this made me tear up for you; I hope your secondary infertility is resolved soon. It must be so difficult to deal with everyone who assumes that it can't be that hard for you because of your first pregnancy. I remember feeling that way when we started to adopt...that our casual acquantainces were thinking that we just hadn't tried hard enough, or hadn't relaxed enough, and they all though that we'd get pregnant while we were waiting to adopt. Joke's on them I suppose?<br /><br />I think that when we decide to adopt again it will be similar to secondary infertility for me and I think it will be hard to wait patiently again, knowing how wonderful it is to hold your new baby and all of the little magical moments of parenthood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591916707052146795.post-21676470848507197592009-06-29T15:41:07.648-06:002009-06-29T15:41:07.648-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964875388384777306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591916707052146795.post-29092262452080593442009-06-29T15:40:59.406-06:002009-06-29T15:40:59.406-06:00I totally agree with you that I loved Mel's st...I totally agree with you that I loved Mel's statement about those of us with secondary infertility knowing what we are missing. I think that is a big part of it... now it's just not a nebulous, unknown baby/parenthood situation I am craving, but another opportunity to experience again all of the amazing "firsts" and other aspects of parenthood that I known exist very specifically.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964875388384777306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591916707052146795.post-68136003358034545722009-06-29T14:14:14.684-06:002009-06-29T14:14:14.684-06:00My neighborhood was slightly different than yours....My neighborhood was slightly different than yours. I was in the "Secondary Infertility with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss" neighborhood.
