Lan -- sounds like you're the opposite of how I was with TTC. I was pretty depressed for the first 2 weeks of my cycle, rather a wreck after AF came, and then sloped upward and upward in the last two weeks, probably because of the "I'm definitely not pregnant now" vs. "I might be pregnant now!" difference. We'll try to help you make both sides positive.

Laney -- thanks for the help about the albums! I have nothing to post there yet, but soon I might be done with our nursery and want to share it with you guys. I understand that there is no point at which you will be able to relax. Even I feel that way. But you're doing so wonderfully so far, and about to pass by one of your "bad" anniversaries...

Teagz -- usch, sorry your body isn't treating you nicely! But good on you for keeping up the TTC despite that. Silly that your friend called you a hypochondriac. It doesn't even fit. :P I blogged about how pretentiously naggy people are about carefulness during pregnancy (The Pessimist's Cookbook: Logical Fallacy) so I won't rant more here. Even though they say implantation bleeding is rare, I also had it, both with Beiron and now with Kebab. I had a small but distinct bleed something like 3 or 4 days before I expected AF, and then it stopped. There's no reason you can't be pregnant on your first cycle of trying! Since it's a digital process (each month you're either pregnant or you're not, and then you start over!) you're just as likely to get pregnant this cycle as any other. Remember that!

Diana -- does this mean that your IVF cycle starts now? What is it that you're sniffing, btw?

Beata -- well, I'm not quite down to 6 weeks left just yet. There's a little more than 8 weeks left until my due date, and so it might be as much as 10 and a half weeks until I meet bubs! Wah! On the upside I had another good weekend as far as pain and such goes. I shopped, cleaned, painted furniture in the nursery. It's work that my body is allergic to! So I'm counting down the 5 weeks until maternity leave and hoping life will be "breezy" after that, haha.

Helen -- glad to hear of the good scan and the good cervix! If your OB says you don't need another scan, you can always say "But can I have one anyway?" The worst he can do is say no. I was so happy to have the extra scan at 30 weeks even though I knew they thought everything was fine. Those little peeks inside keep us sane.

And Jo as well -- what great cervixes (cervii? cervices?) we have going on in here. It's great that you get that result even after being a bit more active.

Rozzie -- cloth nappies, eh? I've been pondering it. Don't know if I have the strength, though, hah. With some things I've decided that we'll start with this baby first and then get creative and modern etc. with the next... Can we see pics of your nursery when it's done? I'm working little by little on ours, but after I'm done painting this one last piece of furniture all the big bits will be in place.

I have the midwife after lunch today, but that's just all routine stuff now. Although this time she has to weigh me, and I'm not looking forward to that!
