Deb I am sorry honey, I must have been posting at the same time. I wish my words of comfort could be as soothing as your words of comfort are for me.
The only thin I guess I could say is that I don't think I have *met* a more inspirational woman and a woman who is the epitome of what a mother should be. I feel I have learnt so much from you. Not just the medical stuff, but how to cope with this journey. So if I can do anything to support you like you support each one of us, then I will.
Sending you a big brave today and hoping that your migraine eases and your heart mends.
Nat - I am so so sorry that you have to deal with people's insensitive comments. It is really hard when it comes from your own flesh and blood (trust me, I know!!!). What she needs to understand is that yes you choose to fall pg all those times, but you didn't choose to lose them. She should be supporting you through this especially at this time, not saying nasty, horrible things to you. I have been thinking about you and your angel all week especially Wednesday, as you know. You are such a strong, wonderful person and you will have another baby in your arms very very soon. Sending you the biggest
Deb - I am sorry that you aren't feeling very strong at the moment. I guess we will all have these times and we just need to support each other through the down times. I think like you, I believe that *Hope* is coming home and I try to remain positive. Think about one week at a time and when you get through a week, celebrate it. Celebrate your time with *Col* and the concentrate on your next week with *Col*. Deb he/she is doing so beautifully and I know that he/she will be coming home with you.
Bailey - It sounds as though you have been hit pretty hard with the m/s. I hope it eases up on you soon. Will you be ok to come to the S&K meeting on Wednesday?
Tommysmum - Sounds like a big job but worth it in the end. It will be wonderful to have a new house and a new baby by Christmas.
Spring - enjoy your BBQ. I hope your body is recovering well after the needles! I won't laugh, I promise! Rug up and keep warm, it is freezing out there!
Mel - a kitten sounds wonderful for you. Just don't squash it with all the cuddles you give it. I swear my dogs get angry at me from all the cuddles I give them. They are probably saying, you are so embarrassing mum!
Hi to everyone else, hope you are enjoying your weekends.
Deb - I am sorry you are having such a rough time, after everything you have been through I think you would be abnormal if you were feeling "at ease" iykwim. I so wish I could say something to help but I cant All I can say is that I have a great feeling about Col and I am sure you will be bringing him home to meet his sisters and brother I have worked out that my lap will be on CD5 of next cycle assuming AF arrives on the right day. And re that kitty I have already given DH the heads up that he will be doing the litter and cleaning up after it if I was pg, even when I was pg with Nicholas he cleaned the birds cages and changed their food and water. Also I have bird allergies so he still does it (yep, call me allergy-girl ). What about the raw meat though? I havent heard that before. Do you mean like if I was cooking with raw meat it could be a risk?
Nat - Your sister should be ashamed of herself! How could anyone be so cold? You have not "chosen" for this to happen to you, all you have done is show courage to keep going after being knocked down so many times. Well when September comes around and you try (and succeed) for that much wanted bubba you give her a big "I TOLD YOU SO!".
Bailey - How you feeling today mate? Ya poor bugger, although maybe Faith is just putting the boots in trying to tell you she is there?
Spring - I bet you are enjoying DH being home, BBQ sounds great although hell yeah to rugging up... I dont think my feet have been warm for what feels like months now (although they are a good torture method for DH in bed LOL). Can your landlord just tell you they want you to move? Dont you have a lease or anything? Although as Nat said to me a while ago, new house - new baby
Lynn - LOL @ you embarrassing your dogs... just like my mum did to me when I was in high school, she would make us give her a kiss goodbye and we would be like "oh mum how embarrassing!".
Tommysmum - I can definitely live with 9 months, but its unlikely at this point considering we didnt really try this month. Although bub will be born a little earlier than usual so if IVF worked next month you could be right with the 9 LOL - DH agrees with about the whole putting out more thing, he keeps saying that I should be giving us the optimum chance of getting pregnant by doing it every day of the month... 10 points for effort!
Well I am doing surprisingly ok, and I have been off my anti-depressants for a week and 3 days now so surely that is a good sign? Until I worked out my cycle days to answer Deb I didnt even really have a clue what CD I am now. To be honest I think I have broken my addiction to HPT and OPKs too LOL - I didnt use OPKs this month, just couldnt be bothered really. And I havent even had the inclination to do a HPT :O And to be honest dont think I will, I am not stressed by TTC at all this month and I keep wondering if it is because we have a plan. I have also gotten my head around the IVF thing in the last couple of days, instead of seeing it as a negative thing because it doesnt make sense and shouldnt be necessary I am now thinking well if that is what it takes, we will do and we will get through and if we come out the other side smiling and with the result we want who cares how it happened? I am starting to see it as a positive thing and that maybe I will get that BFP one day soon
Anyway, enough crapping on from me... enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Love Mel

Hey Mel: I am glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better and you never know, taking the stress out of TTC might be just what you need. As you said, if it turns out that IVF is what you need to bring a baby home, then that is what you will do. About our house, our lease is up in September and the owners have been honest the whole way along that they wanted to move back in. They have agreed to let us out of the lease as of late July early August so that way we can settle in a new place before bub arrives. The could have made us pay up to Sept but thankfully they were reasonable.
Deb: Thinking of you today, I hope you are having a better day.
Well the BBQ yesterday was really nice. There was the sweetest little 6 month old there and surprisingly I felt really at ease with him. I think it was because his mother (who I only met yesterday) had heard about Harry and was very kind to me, asked me about him and didn't try to push her baby on me. She seemed to deal really well with the situation and it wasn't until later in the night that I realised that she is a Paliative Care Doctor so she deals with death all the time. I actually ended up having a really nice night and the bub was just so adorable.
Today is chores day around here. DH is very organised and wants to have 5 days of suits and shirts combos ready for the week. He is currently doing his ironing and then we are going to make sure everything is organised for his first day of his new job. I tell you what, if he has learnt anything from the army, it is organisation. Oh and his ironing puts mine to shame.
today and hoping that your migraine eases and your heart mends.
All I can say is that I have a great feeling about Col and I am sure you will be bringing him home to meet his sisters and brother
