Tanya - good on your Mum and sis for doing your dishes. Though small, I am sure having one less thing to worry about was wonderful.
It sounds like you are in good spirits (well.. better spirits). Hugs for Alecia too... Esp. since she has seen and remembered you being pregnant and having Emily and Violet.... she'd have such an appreciation for the wonders of motherhood beyond other girls her age.
I hope the u/s reveals good things and you're able to jump back on to the TTC wagon ASAP.
