Hi Everyone. Last night was fun - met the hairdresser and got to say goodbye to her the first time I met her! And yes Jo, his maintenance really only extends to his hair which he keeps short but is particular about! It was lovely to catch up with a few other people and DH appreciated me coming along. Today is his actual birthday (even though he had his part some weeks ago) so I have been spoiling him today.

Simba - feel free to join us. I would appreciate you telling us your story. We found out at 20 week scan that our baby Nathaniel had passed at 15 weeks. Due to the amount of time that had passed, I had to have a D&C which was incredibly awful but also physically numbing. I came out feeling empty and of course was never able to hold my baby Nathaniel. We do have the DVD from the 12 week scan but I have still not been able to watch it yet. We had Nathaniel cremated and have his ashes in a memorial box with his other items. I am very protective of the memorial box and only our mothers have had the privilege of looking at it. I would allow my sisters as they understand but both live in other cities.

So that is my story. I am very sorry for your loss and hope you find comfort and support here. I can not even begin to express how much this site has helped me in my grieving.

TM, I hope you and your family are coping as best as you can?

Barbara, how is the renovations coming? Are you working on them again this weekend? Are you still in the 2WW? I have about 6 days until AF is due. I am certain that it is on its way and trying hard not to get down about it.
