Hey Kim,
I hope you're feeling OK. I feel bad that my last post was really insensitive to you and others who have had trouble TTC, since I was one of the extremely lucky ones for which it wasn't a problem... Your sig shows that you had a pretty tough time of it, and I bet the thought of doing it all again is pretty stressful.

I argue with my DH about money stuff all the time too... we are so broke cause he is on a real minimum wage since he only just got his work visa all approved, and his Belgian work skills barely count here. I am just about to run out of maternity leave pay, yet he spends so much money on junk food, drinks, musical instruments.... (latest extravagance was a electric piano thing, which barely fits in the house!!) he left all his things in Belgium, and needs all this stuff to make him feel more at home here, which I can't argue with. I am more a forward thinker, whereas he lives in the moment, and so while for the moment we have some savings, in about 3 months time we will have diddly-squat. When we are ready to try for a second baby, I don't know how we will afford for me to have time off work etc. Anyway - I know it doesn't compare to the costs and stress of IVF, but I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you, and hope it works out, and I'm sorry for blabbing about what a suprise it was that we got pg so quickly.

I meant to say the other day too that I love your play mat idea, and I also had thought to do that as a Christmas pressie for Milla - I have some faux fur, and scraps of satin and velvet that would be perfect, but I'm not sure how it would go in the wash after the inevitable baby mess? Is yours going to be washable?

No news from Milla today except that I cut her finger while trying to cut her fingernails, and there was quite a bit of blood, but she didn't even cry or wince at all??! I felt soooooo bad, but she didn't seem to notice...!

Hope you all have a good evening.
