Most people would have fired their cervix by now. Not me.

Finally, this story has a happy ending. I have an incompetent cervix. First, you may wonder what asshole male doctor named this. I wonder too. An incompetent cervix won't support the weight of a baby. When I was 19 weeks pregnant with a perfect (according to the amnio) little girl my cervix opened up and she was born. She was just too little to survive. We were devastated. Learning that with my next pregnancy they can place a cerclage -- which basically sews your cervix shut -- we had hope. I got pregnant again, this time with twins. We never got to the cerclage as I miscarried at eight weeks. In August, 2005 I gave birth to a very healthy, beautiful baby boy. My pregnancy was without complications and the cerclage never had to do its job because my cervix behaved -- so well I had to be induced and ended up having a c-section. Fast forward a couple of years, I have an amazing son and tried for the better part of a year to get pregnant. Once we'd given up I got pregnant again -- this one ended in a miscarriage. "Not the best obstetrical track record" said my OB. No, indeed.

Sarah, thank you so much for your encouragement. It's so very appreciated and helps tremendously, it truly does.
As for Daniela's name, hee hee, that was my choice. He was all for Samantha (lovely in its own right, but too close to the top of the social security name 'popularity' lists for the past few years). Plus, I felt strongly that Daniela complimented Juliana as a name, just something about it (and Danielle is A's sister's middle name so we deviated slightly from it, while Marie is his other sister's middle name). Honoring the women in his life (Juliana's middle name is her Grandma's name) seems to be our MO when it comes to baby-naming.
