    Now, where was I? Interrupted by work, once again!

    Paula, you made me laugh out loud at the thought of you ballooning into a big black woman doing the "girlfriend" thing. So, was the holiday just what you needed? Did you get to soak up sunshine and relax?

    Wooh Jo, I'm excited that you may TTC in Dec - with Paula and I

    I booked in for "pre-conception counselling" with a Dr recommended by another forum member who saw him after her son was stillborn. The earliest appt I could get is 7 Nov so I definitely will have to wait till Dec. Sometimes I feel particularly hopeful and want to TTC right away but not a clever idea while selling/moving house !

    So Katie, have you got the pregnancy waddle? Hee! Why bother tidying up the unit when you know that when you bring bub home you'll probably be throwing things around anyway

    Lan - great to hear that you are seeing a dr and having pre-conception counselling. That is what my ob calls it as well, and I think it took close to 3 months to see him as well. He ran all sorts of extra blood tests on me. As it turns out I was already pregnant so my next appointment with him ended up coinciding with being 7 weeks preg. That first appointment gave me a sense of hope and I felt that I was doing something positive and it really seemed to help with my grief. I hope you like the dr and find him to be competent and compassionate (a really wonderful mix).

    And yes I am getting a bit of a pregnancy waddle. I must look very attractive! I will let you all in on a secret (because I know you all do or will do this) - I still check the toilet paper everytime! I don't know if it is now just a habit or if it is still a paranoia thing.

    Jo - I will call my obs office today to find out the rest of the tests I had done. You know we will all be right here to hold your hand if and when you decide to TTC again.

    Cindee - I know you probably said already but what are the assignments for? Your ticker is moving forward very nicely!

    Sue - I also asked about cramps and had to admit that it was probably severe gas! The things we find ourselves talking about. I hope you are feeling well.

    Tildy - congrats on 12 weeks! Is your scan this week?

    Rozzie - congrats also on 12 weeks. When is your scan? How are feeling - I am sure you had a relaxing weekend after your week back at work and all 'those' questions.
