Old

• If you notice another loading slow down or receive error messages for Stirrup Queens or Lost and Found, please let me know. Now I'm nervous every time I add anything to the side bar!

• The Making of Baby V (the elusive male point-of-view! And it's Morrisa's husband)
  

BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES: Celebrate your birthday or blogoversary with the community. Send me dates for March/April right now and I'll post them on the correct day.

• Wonderful Thing hit her 200th post yesterday! Which is an anniversary of sorts.
• A happy and sad weekend for Julia. Saturday is Monkey's birthday. But Sunday would have been A's due date. Since there are no right words, perhaps simply a presence and hug of support.
  

LOSS ANNOUNCEMENTS

• The unthinkable has happened--Natalie lost Devin at 36 weeks. Please go over and give your support.
  

MISCELLANEOUS SUPPORT AND CELEBRATIONS: Scary scans, anxious waits, OHSS, and a host of other reasons why these bloggers could use some additional support right now. Also, celebrations!

• Musings of the Barren-ess received her IVF drugs on Monday
• A Few Good Eggs is still in a holding patten. Beta 1 was 439 and beta 2 was 491. She is still worried about loss of a twin and possible ectopic. Ultrasound is today so you can swing by and give her good thoughts.
• Carrie at Precious Little did a 3dt. She writes: "Out of the seven fertilised eggs, two were very much 'in front'. They transferred 2 grade 1 embryos, one was 8 cell but the other was only 6 cell."

• Evil Stepmonster got a negative from her FET. Please go over and give her support.
