Thanks Tellytubby - I keep telling myself that this one is going to work. Everything is going to be fine. Hope you're finding painting cathartic.

Diamond Girl - I'm sorry for you loss. It's really difficult when you see someone who is at the stage you were supposed to be. I worked at a children's bookstore before DD, and after my first m/c, I went to work three days later. It was horrible. All these beautiful bellies seemed to come into the shop, one after the other. I hope things work out for your friendship
