Lovely to see you too!! xo :slight_smile:

I havenā€™t seen @Prairiekeeper since the switchover. I hope they are doing alright.

Thank you for thinking of me <3
I lurk occasionally but never post right now. Still just hanging out over here with my empty uterus. I donā€™t have too much to say in TTC groups as we are not actively trying (and after 5 pregnancies/losses I have very little patience for a lot of the behaviour in TTC groups unfortunatelyā€¦and the last time I posted some awful woman tried to tell me my specialist was wrong and that I should be worried etc, like, no thanks. Worried enough already.) and we have our names picked out, ([name_m]Ramsay[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m] or [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]) if we should get a baby of our own, so I donā€™t post about names either. We do plan to start trying again next year as my clock is ticking, Iā€™m hoping for better luck. It means a lot that you wondered about me!!

It has certainly been a while since I have logged on! This new format is throwing me for a loop and keeping up with the littles is no easy feat!

Life updatesā€¦

The last time I posted here, I was pregnant with sweet twins. They are with [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] now as I lost the pregnancy a few weeks after posting. I know my sweet babies are waiting for me in heaven! :angel: :angel:

Eva is now 6. She is in first grade this year and we are blessed to be in an area in which schools are still open - so she is loving being back with her friends (and I am loving not having to field online learning)! I am absolutely amazed at how my once micropreemie is now passing each developmental milestone with flying colorsā€¦and then some! You Berries have seen me through her TTC phase, pregnancy, and infanthood so it is a joy to share how far she has come with the community that supported us through some of our toughest times.
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] is 2 and she certainly has taught this mama a lot about patienceā€¦LOL! [name_m]Just[/name_m] a few days ago she got into my makeup and decided to paint a mural on our walls that I have still been unable to completely scrub off. It is hilarious how two sisters can have such differing tempranents!

As for DH and I, there isnā€™t much to report. : ) The four of us are flying out tomorrow for a much-needed Thanksgiving vacation with friends and family. I hope each of you have a beautiful holiday. I hope to be more active on here with the coming months. : )

Love,
[name_f]Carla[/name_f], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] : )

I was just thinking about @lemon today. She was the name aficionado when I first joined this website and Iā€™ve always wondered whatā€™s happened to her

When I joined, the berry that I remember the most was @elderberry, I havenā€™t seen them around lately though.

@elderberry still holds the record for the most posts (by far!) It would be lovely to hear from them :slight_smile:

Hello again! Thank you so much for mentioning me. I remember meeting you! :slight_smile: The reason for my absence mainly has to do with me being rather busy until now, but also because I feel like Iā€™m not creative enough to contribute anything of worth to naming conversations. I donā€™t want to be here only for my own gain, but to help others with their naming quandaries as well. But this post has reminded me of what a wonderful community Nameberry is, so I might return after all. :slight_smile:
