Well no new phone as yet - did you know it is really hard to buy a phone outright these days? I know, neither did I! You can get them on a plan or on pre-paid, but I already have a plan that doesnt end until November so cant do that. Anyway, I have found most of the phones to be really expensive so I am going to think carefully about which one I want before I buy cause it is too much money to just make a spur of the moment decision (although I have pretty much made up my mind).

Lynn - Its a hard one about the dress, but Bailey is pretty much spot on. If it will make you feel good wear it but you think it will bring back sad memories or feelings then maybe dont. I do agree with Spring though, if you decide to wear it go and treat yourself to a new accessory to go with it. Besides the fact it is always nice to have something new, it might make it feel a little different to wear. Maybe try it on and see how it makes you feel?

Bailey - You are right it isnt fair and definitely not the way any of us imagined it, but I am glad he is coming home cause I do feel like his place is with us. I havent been to eager to get him home until we actually went there a couple of weeks ago, but you know once you make that decision you want it to be now.

Spring - I havent done a HPT and I so wish you could be right, but unfortunately the couple of days bleeding I did have was extremely heavy with lots of clots - actually probably heavier than usual - so there is no way I could be pregnant

Deb - I can imagine how frantic your household would be on your own. As beautiful as children are, they can be hard work - all well worthwhile but nonetheless it makes for a busy life.
