    This thread pops into my mind from time to time. Sorry about the latest news, S-squared. We're thinking of you and sending strength your way.

    I'm so sorry. My sister-in-law had two -- and now have two strapping boys. My mom had one in the mid-'70s. Prayers.

    So sorry to hear that Splinter. You are certainly not alone. My wife had two before we had our daughter. One of my best friends and his wife had two and then had twin girls. I’d bet 70 percent of our friends have had at least one. So many were able to comfort my wife with similar experiences.

    this is why I created this thread and why I told a bunch of random people on the internet. It’s reassuring to read your post and same with @MileHigh

    I’m more positive than my girlfriend. I keep telling her it will happen when the time is right. I’m a firm believer that these things happen for a reason.

    our 2021 motto will be “third time is a charm”

    I'm glad you are taking comfort in our outpouring here. Because I feel it's genuine.

    Kind of in the same vein, in the aftermath of the crash that took my sister's family. It was hard for me to accept everyone's compassion. Mostly because I didn't feel they could comprehend. How do they know how I (and my family) feel? And, it's easy in the moment to show that compassion, but out of that, I told people, "Yeah, but check in on us in six months. A year."

    But I'll go back into that thread now and again and it reassures me -- we've got a good community here. We really do genuinely care. And we're here for everyone.

    @Splendid Splinter , my Nos. 2 and 3 came after a series of miscarriages — 3 pregnancies, including one that was far enough along that we knew there were twins. It was a rough, rough ride. And when we were ready to give up — mentally prepared for our oldest to be an only child — the stars aligned. Be there for her, and take time to grieve and to breathe, and all the best to both of you for 2021.
