Hi all - I am back to the Dory most of you recognise - thanks for the words of advice.... and support. Just needed to sort through some things apparently. Glad the weepiness and glumness has gone... that was hard lonely work, getting through that.

Ferrals - I misread your post about the sample and went back and re read it. Oh babe, it is just terrible... I think you're doing the right thing... things are looking so good now for bubs and so different from Abbi's pregnancy.. I know you feel it in your ones that this pregnancy is different, and so it is. You can do it. Also glad to see you got your mojo bak with the "leaky box" comment and poor Ionas breakkie ended up where it shouldn't.

Kit - your brain is also preoccupied with directing very important resources to Tiger... so it's understandable that other things might slip. It is hard to adjust to a change in your identity. I sure have been through that with giving up work at 7 weeks and basically being house/bed bound. Thank God for BB. You are still a valuable and worthwhile person and you are doing something that is so very special right now - growing Tiger. And as someone said to me, when most people take mat leave, they have this identity crisis, you're just going through it a bit earlier. Sorry your friends have withdrawn, but babe, it's not about you, it's about them and what they can and can't cope with. Maybe they'll come around and maybe they won't, but it is absolutely nothing you've done. Still, makes it hard on you huh?

It's been really good to catch up with everyone. Sorry for no more persies. I am still feeling a bit drained, but I am def on the up again.. and looking forward to a weekend with DH, and if it's not raining we might even go for a little walk in the park, so very cool. Just wanted to let you know I am getting m mojo back.

Belly rubs.
