    Hey all,

    Mel - Vanilla Ice, stop making me feel my age! LOL!

    Deb - Great to hear 'Col' is going so well! Even waving to his mummy!

    Bailey - all those movies, sounds like the way to spend the day, even with Vanilla Ice (sorry Vanilla Ice just makes me laugh)

    Klee - Glad to hear the trip is going well!

    AuntieM - What a cruel thing to do, not telling you about your friend being pregnant, I think that would upset me more than her being pregnant! IYKWIM?

    Lynn - Hello, how are you feeling?

    Well DH went to the doctor today, which was a waste of time IMO, when he told the dr about the problems he was having the dr said it "MIGHT" be retrograde ejeculation (where the semen goes backwards instead of coming out of the penis! TMI, sorry)
    or it "MIGHT" be no problem at all that was it, there was no offer of further testing to see how bad the problem may have become, if there is a problem at all.
    It is possible that it could be "RE" because DH is a diabetic and the condition is caused by nerve damage......(which is irreversible ) so we still don't know what we are dealing with.

    Sorry for the rant, I'm just frustrated!

    Jo - how frustrating! Can you go elsewhere and get another opinion? I hope it isn't anything too bad.

    Auntie M - I'm sorry that your friend didn't tell you about her pg. Like you said, perhaps she was trying to protect you. I know what you mean about losing friends. I feel like some of my friends have put me in the too hard basket. Some of them are close friends that I thought would stick by me through thick and thin but I guess something like this shows you who your real friends are. Happy 3rd month Birthday to Yeti. I know how hard these dates are and my thoughts are with you and your DH. And remember, don't ever apologise for venting, that is what we are here for

    Mel - we can always rely on you to make us smile Vanilla Ice - too funny! I know all the words to his song too - how sad! I got a S&K box too. I bought the car magnet but DH won't let me put it on there (ruins the car or something ) so it is on the fridge!

    Bailey - I can understand your fear of the doppler. I am scared of u/s. Perhaps instead of having a doppler reading ask for an u/s this way you will be able to see the heartbeat. I don't know if they can pick up a heartbeat on a doppler this early anyway. I could be wrong, Deb would know When I had my scan (dildo cam!) on Tuesday I wouldn't look at the screen. My FS eventually said it is ok, everything is ok. So I looked and saw my cute little blob with a hearbeat. I burst into tears immediately because I remember seeing Cooper on the screen and it just brought back so many memories. Sounds like your m/s is easing. Mine is just starting. Last night was terrible! But good!!

    Klee - great to hear from you. Not long now and you will be home. How did you go last Sunday with Phoebe's 5 month birthday. I was thinking of you and little Phoebe

    Nat - well it is all systems go for the catch up on sunday. I will email all you chicks to let you know the details. Can't wait!

    Deb - how are you feeling today? I hope that migrane has gone. I too am stressing about my scan on Monday. Hopefully we will both have great news Monday afternoon.

    Well Monday is going to be a big day for me. I have my scan at the hospital on Monday afternon. I am so scared about walking back into that hospital, but I must overcome that fear............one step at a time and I can do it. To keep my mind of things, I am having lunch with Phill Kearns on Monday. For those of you that don't know who he is, he used to play Rugby Union for Australia. My dad won the lunch with him through an auction at the Stillbirth Foundation Ball. My older sister loves him so my dad bid for her. She is coming down from Brisbane this weekend so the three of us will do lunch with Phill - how exciting!

    Well I am off to clean the house and do the washing - what fun!

    Aunty M - I am so sorry you have been having a rough time (but glad I could put a smile on your dial ). I am also sorry your friend didnt tell you about her being pregnant, while I am sure she had the best intentions those things do make you feel like a "lepor". As Lynn said, I often feel like I have been put in the too hard basket, and I think its because people are scared of us - scared of our emotions, our pain and more importantly scared of confronting their own emotions. And finally, you are not a depressed sad person - you are a woman grieving the loss of your son, grief has many ups and downs and different stages and it is completely normal for you to feel everyone of them :hugs:

    Klee - Glad to hear you are doing ok. Looking forward to coming home? You can definitely buy some S&K stuff. When are you back? We will have to catch up for a coffee and you can tell me all about your break (when you are over the jet lag and settled in of course).

    Jo - LOL I was feeling my age when I thought about it too, that was a whole lifetime ago - hence the reason I feel like such a sad case for remembering the words That seems pretty poor about DH's visit to the dr, it sounds like they should be doing some tests and making sure they know exactly what the problem is before dismissing it all and sending him on his way, I agree with Lynn get a 2nd opinion. Even if it means you have to travel to the closest major town near you. I dont know what his symptoms are but if doesnt sound like something you just wanna let go. I hope you (and more importantly your DH) can get some answers.

    Lynn - Thank you for making me NOT be the only sad case here by also knowing those lyrics (if you can call them that) I will be keeping everything crossed for some great results on Monday Your lunch date sounds fantastic, and your sis is coming from Brissy for it as well which is just an added bonus. Did you get really excited when you got your S&K box? I did and wondered if I needed to get a life

    Bailey - How is your movie day with DS going? Hope Faith is being good to Mumma.

    Spring - How you feeling? You have been quiet, hope all is ok. I will give you a call later.

    Hi to everyone else, hope you are all good.

    I have taken a sickie today - just couldnt be bothered going to work, I woke up and felt like I hadnt slept even though I had had 7hrs of sleep. Ended up waking up at 11.30! But I feel really crappy now, bad headache and just in general yuk.

    So looks like I am hanging around here for the day!
