I am going to try my darndest to do a thorough personals here - I do think of you all...
angelbabies - bday buddy honey - hope ur having great hols and well-deserved time-out. Thanks for ur post to Canary, I'm sure it did her the world of good as well as the rest of us. You made me cry of course when u talked of ur angels - thankyou again for ur sharing of urself in the special way u do.
katie - hope all goes well with the catch-up with ur friends this weekend. Be strong hun cos u have a new life to focus on - which doesn't mean taking anything away from what u had with Nathaniel. Didn't angelbabies have the right words for you too - she's a good egg (so to speak). Let us know how u go with ur friends.
seenabeena - haven't heard from u in a while - hope ur well. Sorry that u have that reminder all the time with ur sil. I had that reminder with someone who was 2 weeks ahead of me. It's hard to be happy for someone else completely when u have sadness inside. Take care hun.
tina - I know how you feel about being in the mood. I would say that since my 2nd m/c in June last year I have put a TREMENDOUS pressure on myself to BD almost robotically with only the focus of making a baby in mind - esp as I did not want a big gap between #1 and #2. Can I just say - not healthy. Without going into too much detail, it takes all the naturalness out of DTD and just made it really hard for me to reach great heights (hope u know what I mean just don't want to use the word here ). And I know how hard it is when u calculate that "yep, gonna have a baby by certain date for various reasons" - puts way too much pressure on u, sweety. I know this is not what u want to hear - cos I didn't want to either but before now I wasn't ready to here it. Now, I have finally given in and I am just leaving things happen as they will. I am going to have a huge gap between kids (let's say, much greater than I had wanted) but I can't make it happen if it's just not going to on a given cycle. Have faith sweety that it WILL happen for u. But, unlike a lot of things that can be planned and organised, this aint one of them. Be kind to urself hun - if u don't feel like BDing just go with that. Hugs hun - I feel for u.
jodsan - how r u sweet? Sailing nicely thru ur 2W - hope so!! They sound like good symptoms!!! Enjoy the weekend - as short as it is for u with DH at work...
berecca - how r u going? hoping things have well and truly settled for u and that u r still feeling more and more pg - how lovely!!
Canary - hey there!! sounds like ur on ur way in ur 2ww with plenty of activities on the cards as well as a lovely couple of days away right now - good on u, hun!! I think I might take the approach next cycle (when I can start BDing again) that I'm not allowed to TTC til the following cycle so that I can relax while BDing as well as gear myself up for AF. Sort of a "oooh! I'm so naughty BDing when I'm not supposed to be" approach. That's what I say now but I'll prob go for something different when the time comes - go as the mood strikes. Take care!!
pash - welcome!! heehee about mile high club. I told tina that I did it on the beach during o-time - there wasn't any privacy at the beach house I was sharing with mum, dad & rest of family Hope u have a great trip downunder and manage to DTD along the way. Thanks for ur post re DS - he is still quite crook so we just have to wait it out. Funny thing is that he was crook last year at Easter too - could be change of weather where we are. Take care and GL, hun!
tempus - sorry I hadn't posted to wish u well while o-ing and bd-ing but hope ur ok during this 2WW and that u have a well-deserved rest after all ur bd-ing!! I hope u manage to keep busy over the next 2 weeks with loads of distractions - try anyway !!
mollycat - GL - let us know how u went with gyno!!!! Keep strong hun!
Starrysky - hope ur well - give ur belly a rub for me!!!
Beaksie - congrats on ur pg - well done!!!
natty - hey and happy easter to u too!! Hope all is well with u....
smilanatu - hey sweet, thanks for stopping by, let us know how ur getting on when u have the chance!!
AJC - sorry about AF, sweet, but GL with clomid for this cycle. Onwards to positivity right? My sentiments exactly being surrounded by newborns - some of that lovely dust has got to stick good for you!! You know I bought a low GI book a little while back with all good intentions and I still haven't read it. Thanks for the reminder!! Someone I know was about to start IVF after being on a low GI diet for a while but didn't have to cos she found out she didn't have to at the last minute cos she was already pg. Wow - pretty inspiring!
Magda - great to hear from you - how u doin, hun? I hope all is going well
Fiona - hey there - interesting about GI diet - I've been inspired by u and AJC to get my book out on the subject. I know u said time is not on ur side but I know people who know a heap of other people who have had children in their mid-forties. I hope u don't let it get u down - u r at least making proactive choices like diet and that's so positive. - GL and keep strong!!!
betty - my dear - to say I have everything crossed for u is a total understatement - 9 days to go!!! got so much positivity going across those waters to you - I hope the wind helps them along.
danielsgirl - hey - great to hear bleeding has FINALLY stopped!!! When do u expect to get some idea of when ur green light is to TTC? Mine is April 15 - 24 sleeps to go (sigh!). Here's praying for both of us!!!
mmteacher - honey I'm so so sorry to hear of ur loss - to u at this hard time. Where do u just put that hope and love that u were feeling for ur wee one? Very very hard.Welcome anyway and wishing u all the best for a short stay here. Take care.
Mel A - I went thru very similar experiences as u described. Yes, The Notebook is a goody to get any unspent tears out of ur system. Hope ur well hun.

Me - nothing new just waiting for April 15. I think I have or am about to o which is good to know cos I haven't charted a proper full cycle yet but not that I can do anything right now anyway.

everyone!!!!
