Nicole - we used to get printed loo paper but i realised how much it was going my head in cycle after cycle, so now it's boring old white all the time! don't fret hun, you're not alone!

Possums - if your clinic aren't super stressed about your numbers, don't allow yourself to be stressed either. i know it's easier said than done, but the last thing you want to do is put yourself under further duress. if they think it's a problem, they'll get more testing done sooner rather than later

sorry about the relative lack of personals - am seriously contemplating sleep again! had a shocking sleep last night, and feeling decidedly seedy today from it! am also a little annoyed with my family being so damn judgemental about the choices DH and I are making. we've essentially been told it's a waste of time and money buying new furniture for our little Gremlin, and can't seem to understand why, after going through what we've been through, we want everything for our baby to be perfect! yes, it's going to cost a bit more, but WE are paying for it - WE have paid for everything so far in this journey, so why do they need to judge? it's not like we've asked anyone else to pay for anything! i don't want to have a room full of unmatched furniture! we've furnished our house the way we want it, why should the Gremlin's room be any different? Why, simply because it's not the eldest grandchild, should it be subjected to 9 year old second hand stuff that's been used for three other kids? i don't care if it's in "good condition - we want this to be perfect! i don't want a heap of toys that are kinda good, but been used as chew toys for at least three other kids! i'm happy for our bub to play with this stuff at their place, but i'm not filling my house with second hand stuff and not allowing our child to have anything new and special of it's own! am i being unreasonable?
