Lynn: I am sorry that things came to a head today, it must be a very emotionally charged time for you and your family. I hope it calms down soon for you.

I know exactly how you feel about not wanting your mum to stress. I know it is a totally different situation, but last year when I found the lump in my breast on my Mum's birthday, I pretended everything was ok when I felt like my world was falling apart. I still haven't told her. Whenever I had some pinkish CM this pregnancy, I haven't told my mum, I just don't want her to worry any more.

Perhaps telling everyone that you are having a break is a good idea. Gives you a bit of space to make up your mind about what you and DH want to do. If you do decide to keep TTC you can have the privacy you want and you don't have to be concerned that you are making your Mum worry.

Hey and Alex, I'll back you up sista. I'll pick you up at the airport and we can kick some butt for Lynn together.

Luv Spring
