    DH just got home with the kids and told me that he has explained to them that I am upset and why. He said he thinks it is important that they know I am sad, firstly because he thinks they are old enough to know to thruth at 5 and 6 (2yo has been in bed having a nap since he left) and secondly because he said he thinks it is important they know that I am sad and not just grumpy - I guess kids do sometimes have difficulties knowing the difference between emotions. Anyway he said he told them I am sad because I want a baby and at the moment I cant have one I think I wish he hadnt of said that, now it will get back to their mother and as if she doesnt already dedicate her whole life to making ours hard she is gonna love the fact that she has given him 3 kids and I cant give him 1! She is a really nasty person and I guarantee she will be happy about this. I didnt tell him off though, whats done is done and I am sure he had good intentions.

    Mel: I think it is a good idea that the kids know what is going on. Their little imaginations would be running overtime worrying that is it something they had done so I think that honesty is the best policy. Who cares if it gets back to DH's ex, stuff her I say.

    About tonight, go if you feel up to it, and like you said if you feel down, don't put on a happy face, just be yourself and if that means being sad well so be it. The vegetarian pasties sound delightful, I hope they fill up your belly and make you feel a bit better.

    Oh and Mel your fertilty is far from insignificant, you have been through so much so it is totally understandable that at 8 months of trying you feel like you have been doing this for a lifetime.

    Just take it easy this arvo, have a bit of a nap if you feel like it. I hope tonight is nice and relaxing for you. Just don't pressure yourself to be happy if you are not. The people who love you will totally understand and only want to help you.

    Big love
    Spring
