This Is Who We Are

September of last year, on the BabyCenter forums, a thread was started looking for cycle buddies to share the TTC (trying to conceive) journey with. Day 1 was September 25, and before long there were several ladies on the thread whose cycles had all begun on or around 9/25. We talked about the gooey details of TTC...the frustrations, the joys, the moments where we just wanted to give up. We also talked about other things -- really, everything. We became friends.

We got a few BFP's (BIG FAT POSITIVES - positive pregnancy test results) that cycle, but several of us found ourselves starting over. Our cycles weren't all the same; we were worried about losing track of each other. We decided to make a private group and we called it Nine Twenty Five, in honor of our original cycle buddy thread.

Today there are 19 members of our little family. 19 sisters from all walks of life, all tied together by that one chance post on a message board. Some of us have given up, or put on hold, the TTC mission. Others are still hard at work, praying each month that this will be it. We have had 21 total BFPs in the 925 family. 5 are cuddling at home with their blessings. 8 are expecting a squishy bundle of love in the coming months. 7 have given an angel to God and are looking for a rainbow. One of those was the twin to a baby girl born healthy. Our most recent loss, baby Baron, was a stunning blow - he was full-term, everything seemed fine, and then...nothing. He was born sleeping July 18, 2012, and we feel like a bunch of surrogate mommies mourning the loss of our own child.

This blog is for Baron, and for the other angels in the 925 sky, to be cherished and celebrated and never EVER forgotten.

Feel free to read the posts here, and if you have your own story to add, feel free to comment. We're all friends here, and many of us know too well the pain of miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss.

Welcome to Baron's Wings.
