Belle - you poor love. It is horrible when people ask and you have to tell them. I was asked by a very lovely woman at work after I went back after *maternity leave* (the first few weeks too) about the baby and had to tell her (in the middle of a resuscitation) that we had a stillbirth. Poor darling gave me a big hug but she felt so awful. She had been away at another faciility when it all went down. As for my boobs - my goodness I hope they don't get bigger!!! They didn't get that much bigger last time (except when the milk came in) but they are rather large (to say the least) already!!!

Belle - hugs for you too. I also come from a small town and when Caitlyn was born Mum put an announcement of her birth (and death) in the local paper. It made the telling everyone easier on them and on me when I came home next. Plus the paper gets sent to ex locals far and wide so it was an easy way to distribute the information.

Lisa - woo hoo!!!! Bring on the O!! Keep that husband working. There is some other literature that says every day is fine if your (his) sperm count is normal but every 2nd day will also ensure there are *supplies* waiting for the eggie when it pops on out to say hello!!

Me - had a blood test today to make sure I am ovulating and that my progesterone levels are ok. I hate blood tests but the blood collector is a funny girl. Because she knows I am a nurse she gets all stressed so it makes me relax knowing she is more nervous that I am and I have to calm and reassure her

to all you other lovelies!!
