Hello Everyone, it's one of the "two mommies" here. I wanted to write a personal note the first thank everyone for their excellent suggestions about names. My partner and I loved reading everyone's feedback and tossing around new and wonderful ideas for what our baby might call us. Unfortunately, as Tertia mentioned, last week I had a miscarriage. It has been a horrible week, but it finally feels like there just might...might... be light at the end of the tunnel. We've been grieving the loss of "Rooty-George" (the nickname we had given to our baby - odd I know, but it has special meaning) and have recently signed up for a city program that plants trees for babies who died at any age as well as babies who were born alive. Hopefully next summer we'll have a special place to visit and remember Rooty-George. Thank you also for the lovely comments I have read in this comment section. It is so helpful to know there are others out there who understand this pain and/or who sympathize and send healting and hopeful energy. I think we're going to try again in a few months and we're hopeful that since I achieved a pregnancy so soon with my partners egg (on the first attempt versus 11 failed attempts with my own eggs) that we'll be blessed again. Hugs and to all of you out there in this caring and warm e-community.
Sending lots of love to both of you from me, and I am sure from all those who read this blog.

I am so sorry for your loss of Rooty-George. The tree planting program sounds like a beautiful way to remember him.

What an awesome way to remember R-G. Imagine how moving that will be to enjoy the shade of that tree in the not-so-distant future. What a gift.

You have a beautiful story. What an amazing thing it will be for you as a couple for you to carry a child conceived with your partner's eggs. I hope you have a great success in your next attempt.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss...my partner & I lost two babies at 5.5 and 11.5 weeks before I managed to carry our wonderful Annie to 41 weeks! We both love being moms & are so glad we persisted! Good luck & what a lovely way to remember your rooty-george!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I just had my 2nd m/c myself and it sucks. I wish you luck in your next cycle.
