Thanks Luna

Ferrals, what a relief it went OK. I hope the cramping stops soon - glad you are resting up. The next three days are going to be hard but your girl needs you to be as calm and restful as you can so I hope you can get through it without too much strain and worry. Today's great result should help a bit. I hope that the time flies by and you get good news and can start celebrating properly for this little one after all the uncertainty of the past four months. Sending you lots of love and hugs xx and thanks I'm trying to stay positive about our frostie but there's a lot gong on for us at the moment and we might not be able to try again for six months.

I rang Barnardos this morning about fostering. We have to wait minimum 12 months from our last treatment before we can put in an expression of interests and from the way their info pack is worded, seems like they give preference to people who already have kids (makes sense I guess but tough to read) and also couples suffering from infertility don't seem like they are considered for younger children. I'm waiting to hear back from them for a bit more information but looks like it's going to be a few years down the track if anything happens at all. We'd happily take siblings so hope this helps our case a bit. We're used to waiting so what's one more year? At least I can go back to work and we can try pay off a bit more of the house. Had to laugh at their statement about 12 months getting us used to changes to our lifestyle - what lifestyle? Going to work then crashing on the couch by 9.30 every night? Oh yeah, that's right, people without children are meant to be up all night sipping chardonnay and going to functions in fancy clothes 'cause they don't have to spend their huge disposable incomes on children, isn't that right? I don't know where our lives took a wrong turn but we sure as hell missed that one!!
