Tell me about it Maz! I am already consoling myself that my DD might have a baby of her own in as little as 8 years if she follows in my footsteps. I am holding onto all the nicest baby clothes, cot, toys, shoes etc for that happy day. How bad is that!

In some ways my mind was made up for me when I was diagnosed with my Graves disease. if it wasn't for this wretched condition i would be really grieving... as it is with my fatigue etc at least has made me realise that I need to embrace the next phase of life. It's hard though... for all the reasons you stated.
