MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New

• 98 in the Creme de la Creme--keep sending your link. And go hound your favourite bloggers to submit something (2 more until we hit 100!).
  
• Thank you so much for all of the kind comments over at Stirrup Queens. Everything is okay now--we're just undigging from all of the stuff that piled up as we dealt with the situation. So I apologize for any unreturned emails.
  
• A call for help about gestational diabetes: Nearly Dawn has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She is trying to stick to the diet but has been having trouble with meal planning. She is looking for advice on snacks, planning meals, etc. She could also use a few cheerleaders even if you can't give her direct advice. So head on over and help her out with information and support.
  
• Remember back on October 29th when I wrote about Colby's surgery? Well, he's coming home from the hospital on Christmas Day! Go over and wish Scott and Tracey congratulations.

• It has started--the celebration of us--the Creme de la Creme of the Infertility/Pregnancy Loss/Adoption blogosphere. Click on over to see the details and then add your link to the list.
• What? You need a gift for the holidays? Why not support your fellow stirrup queens and buy from Shop Mom or Pop? Shop thoughtfully this season and send on the link to anyone who wants to support the community by making their holiday shopping also make treatments or adoption possible.
