MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
- U.T.E.R.U.S. update: The US eBay account is now up and running, though for some reason, it's slow to publish uploaded items. In the meantime, we have about 40 items listed at UK eBay. We've made over $746 if all auctions closed today. And they aren't closing today. Add the $645 in direct donations and Cali is over a third of the way to her goal.
- Question: Perchance2Dream is at a fork in the road and "all doors seem to be moving farther and farther away. This cycle is, I believe, not going to end well, there are issues with our clinic’s IVF grants (the funds are stalled by the state) and my doctor only wants to do one more IUI. I’m praying that maybe someone might be able to give me some direction or a path to follow…" Please go over and read her blog to get a better sense of the situation and give her some advice.
- Question: Into the Rabbit Hole has some questions about Down syndrome risk, nuchal fold measurements, and amnio. She is scared of amnio but needs some reassurance about the numbers she received for the Down syndrome risk.
- Connection: On the Homefront... is looking to connect with other military wives. I know you guys are out there. Her husband is coming home from Iraq soon (he left when their son was two weeks old and he's now 10 months). Please go over to her blog and give her support.
- Team On the Road continues to truck along. There are now three teams walking in honour of Lennox and Zoe: Stirrup Queens, My Perky Ovaries, and In Search of Biscuit 2.0. I cannot thank enough those who have donated or posted the code for Team On the Road. We've currently raised $2471! If you would like to help with our March of Dimes fundraising, read this post and join along. There are at least five things you could do!

Thank you so much for the acknowledgment of support needed. This rollercoater puts me up and down everyday. "Fingers crossed" is right!
I use this L&F everyday to send my own support to those in need, so it's awesome to receive it back.
Does it seem like we're in a period of inordinate loss?
