Catherine######http://##Fri Jan 14 21:24:03 2005##Hi Jen
I am finally reading your preconception diary after all this time of "knowing" you and Brendan. Wow! What a journey and what a fantastic little boy you have as a result of it all.
Love from your Aussie buddy, Catherine
Monica##NyThyckness@Yahoo.com####http://##Thu Dec 30 22:32:59 2004##Hello,
My Name is Monica I live in Hampton,VA byway of Manhattan,NY. I went to your site because My Boyfriend and I have been talking about having a baby. We are both 25 years old. He already has a 7 year old son from a previous relationship. And he is determined that we are gonna have a little girl. I personal don't care what I get as long as it's alive and healthy. I'm a little nervous about the whole Pregnancy, Labor and Delivery issue. I want a baby but when I think about all that your body goes through and the Life and Death situation it puts you in I get a bit leary. I Love Babies and want to at least have two but I just need to stop being a wimp. The information you provided was helpful. Thank You for sharing such personal information with the World. Your son is handsome.
Carrie##cdsobo@wideopenwest.com####http://##Tue Nov 2 13:34:38 2004##Just wanted to write a note in the guestbook. Jen & Darrell are truly faithful & blessed people. Thank you both for sharing your emotional & courageous story. I pray that each of us have the faith & success of Darrell & Jen.
Carrie :)

Danielle##DanielleGrimes@hotmail.com####http://##Wed May 26 09:39:45 2004##Jen, I am pregnant with my first baby but can not stop crying after reading your TTC journal. I know that it was written over two years ago but you are such a genuine kind hearted person that I had to write and tell you how touched I am with your journal. You are extremely lucky to have such a kind and generous husband and a beautiful baby. Congratulations!! I hope my partner and I are as happy as you and Darryl. We are due in Sept 2004 and I just love the M&M theme.
JHunton##cjhunton98@sbcglobal.net##Where'd you go?##http://##Mon May 24 21:10:43 2004##Umm...Jen? Was the diary only 'til Bren's first birthday? I keep checking back, but nothing. Well, even if you are done sharing with us, he's a beautiful baby, and you and DH should be very proud. I've really enjoyed reading your updates. My DH, Cory, and I lost our unborn son 3 weeks ago at 11 weeks. We hope to start trying again in June or July. Send us STICKY, blue babydust!

When we found out that my husband has sertoli cell only syndrome we were devistated and thought we would never have children. Then I found your website and have had it on my favorites list for a year and a half!! I check it every 2 weeks or so! You are a angel and I am so happy that god has blessed your family with such a beautiful child. Thank you so much for putting your life on here to help others. You will never know what you have done for us. God bless you for giving us hope! (CMV is an STD)
Amanda##ajcard3352@yahoo.com##Such a beautiful, inspiring story##http://##Thu Jun 19 08:59:39 2003##Jen,
I just wanted to congratulate you (both of you, actually). See, I came upon your story by complete accident. I decided to read it to see what other women have gone through. When I got to the first line where you said you are in SA, I knew I had to read. My DH and I live in SA too! I felt like I was somehow more connected to you because I knew of all the places you were talking about. I'm so glad that you stuck it out. I know it must have been tough. We are on month #4 right now and you have given me so much inspiration. Just when I was thinking of throwing in the towel, I found your wonderful story. Congratulations again. If you get a chance, I would love to hear from you!
Congrats again and enjoy that little one before he grows too fast!
Amanda

Keli####Can't wait to see pics!##http://##Thu Mar 20 22:35:57 2003##Although you didn't go into natural labor, I hope the labor dust gave you good luck and everything works out well for the three of you. My twin sister had a c-section for her first baby, and the best advice that I could give is to take it easy! My sister tried to do too much and took a long time to heal. And the staples don't hurt coming out as much as you would think it does. The docs let her stay in the hospital an extra day because she was afraid to get them out. When the doc did it, my sis closed her eyes and asked if it was over and it had already long been done! Take it easy and good luck with your new baby boy! Can't wait to see pics of him in his new M&M bed room!

Jennifer Hunton##cjhunton98@msn.com####http://##Wed Mar 19 13:36:57 2003##You poor baby! I cannot believe that turkey is taking so long to get here! :) I guess good things really do come to those who wait! Oh, well. He'll definitely be worth it, and the first time you look at him, it won't matter anymore.
Keli##kelilburnett@yahoo.com##Where is this BABY??!!##http://##Tue Mar 18 21:48:43 2003##Jen, I am five (almost six) months along and reading your stories every day has really helped me to stay encouraged; although I am not in the same boat as you (got prego first try). I can't wait to read your next post. Hopefully you're not in too much discomfort being so far along. Sending labor dust your way *~*~*~*~*Labor*~*~*~*~*. Good luck!

Aimee and Jacob##aimeelfuller@hotmail.com##Hi Jen!!!!##http://##Mon Mar 10 16:10:29 2003##Jen,

What a special place you hold in my heart - ever since you sent me the STRENGTH to get through my surgery and Lupron treatment. I'm praying that every single day of your pregancy be a blessing to you and that you enjoy every second. Yay! I'm so proud of you and Darrel for seeing this through despite all the roadblocks. You two rock and you will make fantabulous parents! Love you!
cheryl##cherylaneely@aol.com##In the same boat##http://##Mon Jul 1 23:46:19 2002##Hi! First, I wish you the best of luck on your latest IUI!!! Secondly, I amd (almost) in the same boat. DH and I have to use DI. We were lucky, though, in that we knew about his problems early and found out early on about my blocked tube. Anyway, we're on our 7th month of trying (but have only had one chance to do IUI because all the other times, the egg was on the side that's blocked -- so that's frustrating!!)
I'm hoping that this month is the month!!! Baby dust to you, and if you ever feel like talking about it all, please e-mail me. (I'm using the same bank as you! And we did the photo match thing too.)

Jess Back##jback@wnj.com####http://##Thu Jun 6 10:35:15 2002##I enjoyed reading your diary. My dh was also azoospermic and we too went ahead with donor iui.

Your diary is great! I cannot wait until it becomes a PG diary (which I know it will)!! Best of luck with the RE in 15 days! I am rooting for you!! Hope all is well!!
KIM##kiki812@aol.com##ins update##http://##Sat Mar 23 12:49:48 2002##hey jen! that's great new about the insurance if you ask me. Remember my diagnosis of oligomennorhea? That was so my ins co would pay for my treatment. Your doc will surely help you out that way too. I do understand your sense of urgency though! Can you call your future RE and find out if Darrel needs to go ahead and get an appt with a urologist so you're not having to waste time later waiting for that appt? Anyway - glad to hear it was pretty good news. My insurance doesn't pay for anything. We're even having to go before a special panel to get them to pay for our Lupron injections at $500 per month. Have a great weekend!
