Hey guys,
Can you guess my name? Hah - Well, it's nice to see other guys on this forum. I haven't been really posting much until recently as my wife was the one who found this site and it seemed like it was "her" thing and I didn't want to butt my head in. However, I found out that the woman really appreciate it when us guys post as it gives them insight into how our brains work.
Of course, woman are constantly trying to figure us out, and since we gave up trying to figure them out a long time ago, it's pretty much a one-way street for them, so anything helps.
We just lost our fourth baby a week ago. The whole thing is chronicled in this thread if you wish to read more about us:

This forum has really helped our recovery. It is amazing the difference in dealing with our loss this time, versus the last three. Of course, it didn't help not knowing that she suffered from HG until this last one. It made all the difference in the world, knowing what we were dealing with and having options to handle the nausea and vomiting.
It didn't save the baby, nothing could have, but it has helped us as so many of our friends have helped us through this.
Brad, I am sorry to hear about your baby. I know exactly how you feel. When we lost our baby, I thought to myself, geeez, isn't it enough that we have to deal with the HG and now we have to deal with this on top of it?
I don't know what your beliefs are, but we believe that God wouldn't give us something more than He knows we can handle. We will keep you in our prayers. Be sure to keep us updated about the condition of your daughter and your wife.
It's nice meeting you Paul, Brad and bmc. I look forward to getting to know you guys and all of the other dads (or in my case survivors) that will come as well.
Your friend,
Bradley
