Calm Amongst the Chaos

I found out I was pregnant December 2001 and shortly after those two lines were pink I found myself all over the internet. I didn’t know the first thing about why my boobs hurt, why I was crying at a drop of a hat and the next minute attempting a drop kick to Andrew and I found an August 2002 expecting club on Ivillage and joined there I got my questions answers and sometimes just an offer for a virtual frypan to hit Andrew with if needed. Cut to 9 years later, I still go on that board daily (we’ve moved our meeting place, but you get my point). Yes people will say I don’t really “know” these people, but I beg to differ. I’ve shared with these ladies more sometimes than I am willing to share out loud. We have seen so much together and the fact that so many of us are still coming to that board daily for 9 years says something. I’ve met a few lovely ladies in the real world and love being a part of this group. And right now we have a tragedy going on and I am asking for prayers for a very special little guy named Collin. He has an awful disease called NMO that he has been bravely fighting for years now and right now he is very sick. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/collinsquest
