    Teagz -- I'm both sorry that AF arrived and encouraged that it arrived. I know you've been waiting for it and that it's one step on the road to getting back to normal, but I know it's a painful reminder as well. Our losses were similar in time in a lot of ways -- 17 weeks -- and I remember wanting that first AF to come, but then crashing emotionally when it did come, both because of the reminder that I was no longer pregnant and because we'd DTD once or twice and part of me hoped that I would just be pregnant again without having to have any AF in between. But 7 months later, here I am, rubbing a big healthy belly -- I hope that's you in 7 months, too.

    Theresa -- 7 days late! It's an understatement to say that that's a good sign. We're doing our BFP chants and dances for you.

    Diane -- Congratulations on your overwhelming flood of IVF info. You're one step closer. It's great that we have Sue and Beata here and that they can give you lots of info and advice.

    Paula -- of course you're puffing out; you're at least 2 weeks pregnant by my count! BTW, admissions tests for admission to what? I'm slow on the uptake sometimes. 'Cause I thought you were done with your exams, too!

    Lan -- Lovely that you could make some paintings for Hamish and use the canvases that you bought for him. Don't worry about missing BD on CD12... maybe you just jump DH twice on CD13 instead

    *hugs* to Sue and Helen and my other belly rubbers.

    It's a good day for me today -- I've been to the midwife for my week 29 checkup and big glucose test. She told me to bring a lemon so we could squeeze it into the sugar water, and it was super tasty! I don't know why everyone hates it so much! But I'm feeling like super woman again -- officially no preg diabetes, no protein in the urine, blood pressure is still below average, measurements a bit above average, heartbeat still steady at 145... again, think that 7 months ago I was convinced that I was broken and could never make a baby. Seems to me now that I'm making a really good one!
