Hi everyone

Bailey - welcome back and again sorry that AF arrived. I think you are just going to have to bonk every 2nd day - i know DH will find this hard (not) but you are just going to have to do it. LOL. Actually i have Maybe Baby at home (recommended by a chemist friend) but to be honest i think it was a waste of $70 ! I am like licking this thing every night and i swear i couldnt see any change (well maybe once) - i was so frustrated with the thing i gave up after a couple of cycles. You can have it if you like (just needs a clean (to wipe off my saliva)) and perhaps a new battery. Also, the S&K meeting was really good last week (well apart from crying etc).

Mel - well you have been busy chatting (i thought this girl can talk). Don't regret what you have said to DH - it is what you feel at the time and you have to be honest with each other - they are genuine feelings and you can't help that. Are we married to the same bloke - my DH says to me "you only want me for a baby" to which i reply "yeh, what is wrong with that" - he just laughs but i think he is serious too so i better put out more...ergh ! But honestly, your priority is to have a baby isn't it (that is what i tell my husband) - to fill that hole, to help with the grief of losing Nicholas, etc. Once baby has been conceived of course you will go back to "making love" (i hate that phrase) to make love. Does this sound corny ? But i totally understand where you are coming from believe me. As for the party and everyone asking about you - of course it would have been different if you were there (nothing would have been said). I am glad DH came out and said something. Perhaps next time you see these people they will raise it and acknowledge it to your face - this is very important i know. My friends DH always says don't ask/mention that to Tommysmum (she will get upset) - but my friend is like, oh she is ok about it and wants to talk/help etc (in relation to another friend of theirs who lost their girl full term a couple of weeks ago - wanting advice from me on what to do eg: bath baby, photos etc). I am only too happy to talk about it. Mothers Day is going to be tough for sure - but little Nicholas will be watching over you and giving you hugs and kisses. And that goes for all those other angel babies - us mums will be gettings truck loads of kisses and hugs from them.

Spring - Go for your big (well little) SIS - way to go. I just can't believe you have OTP (Off the planet) family - it can be so upsetting can't it when family and friends are so insensitive and actually havge no f**** idea. You are handling it well i must say but remember just look after yourself (and DH) - that is the most important thing - the other issues are just obstacles. As for reality TV - i do love Biggest Loser (i do like Patti too but do you think she will win ??? i have my doubts for some reason). I swore not to watch BB but got sucked into it. So no prize money - i thought that was hilarious - and their faces - not happy chappies (esp the mormon, Rebecca - i was quite suprised with her reaction). I do like Thomas - he seems sweet (so far) and innocent (?). Sorry i must say that some of those girls and guys are just soooo punishing though !

Hello to everyone else out there - hope you are all doing fine and feeling well. Sorry if i missed any personals (there was just so much to read - Mel).

Take care and will be back on line tomorrow. I must to the housework today - DH said it is a pigsty (he actually noticed for once) - i do like a clean place but man it gets filthy easy. I hate being a housewife sometimes.....
