Anne, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one makes everything so much harder. We lost my husbands brother a year and half ago and it is still so painful.
Aurora, don't feel bad. I very nearly bought a maternity shirt because it was so cute. And then I realized I would have to live with my dh harrassing me until I do eventually get pg, and then everytime I wore it after that. But I did already buy the sling pattern from Elizabeth Lee and I am calculating my shipping bill from One Stop Diaper Shop. Just waiting to have a reason to click "submit" on that one
Anyway, I am having positive thoughts-- for those of us not feeling pg -- That the new year will be blessed!
{{{{{{Anne}}}}}} I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. It's very weird to lose a parent, I think. At least for me it was. I had lost grandparents, friends and a half sister, but when my dad died it was such a strange emotional time. Then we moved cross country on the first anniversary of his death, and after 3 months of living in CA, I was going to go home and see my family. It was the longest I had ever been away from them. I kept getting really excited, thinking I was going to get to see my dad, then I'd remember. Peace and love to you!
I got my period today, actually a little bit early, but that's fine. It should be done by Christmas this way. On Wednesday I thought I had morning sickness coming early, but it turned out I was just sick. I was sick all day yesterday and was starting to feel better today, but I felt some cramping. Sure enough, there was AF.
I'm out too. AF arrived yesterday
I wasn't surprised though, I just knew this wasn't the month.
Oh well. At least AF will be gone by Christmas and we can add another dimenson to our celebration
