I have frequented " The Nest" message boards for years now, prior to pregnancy and Noah, and before then I was addicted to "The Knot" when I was engaged and planning my wedding. All throughout my pregnancy I would post almost daily but after my birth experience and my depression, It sort of fizzled out for me. Lately I have been checking the message boards again and by pure chance I read someone's bio which described a story extremely similar to Noah's with the outcome being a healthy, happy, developmentally "normal" 2 1/2 year old.
It may not seem like a big deal to outsiders, and since my own child is healthy and happy and developmentally "normal" I know others may question why this matters to me at this point but the answer is simple: It just does.
For the first time I got to connect with another mom who knows pretty much exactly how I felt, plus she is about a year 1/2 ahead of me in her parenthood journey, and has had a second child. I have asked a lot of questions about labor number 2 and all the feelings and planning involved.
Sooo...if that mom happens to read this, thanks for responding to me, I am SO glad we could connect!!!

That is great. It is nice to know you have someone to talk with that actually understands what you are feeling and have and are going thru. I know it has helped me out lots myself.
Hi Pia! I swear I left you a comment about your photos you had taken of Noah but now I don't see it? I hate my BlackBerry!
Anyway, he looks suddenly all grown up to me! So incredibly handsome!
I'm so glad you found someone with a similar story (and a really happy outcome too!). That's awesome! Gives me hope that maybe there's another "Maddy" out there??!!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such nice comments. I really appreciate them and I wish I had a laptop to blogsurf with instead of my BlackBerry which is a piece of crap trying to type with!
I remember first posting about Cash and how quickly you responded. I am the same way...searching for answers as to why. I feel that I would too would question why even more if my situation were as yours.
Keep searching, there is another one searching for you! Noah is adorable and it is a blessing he is doing so well...keep up the great work.
Man I love thenest..er thebump.
