MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
- I apologize to everyone who is waiting on me for an email. I am really behind on life. Damn you, Google Reader, taunting me with 83 unread feeds from one single day!
- As Helen says, it's really unbelievable that we didn't do this sooner. I guess the only way to go is forward and we've set up a lot of stuff behind the scenes to keep this running indefinitely. More on that in the near future. One thing we just added to the form was a few ballpark costs: what you'd like as the starting price, the buy-now price, and the shipping costs. And most importantly, just a huge public thank you to everyone who has rolled up their sleeves and jumped in with ideas and items. Helen, Jen, and I are eternally grateful, I know Calliope is probably getting excited seeing things come together, and it just rocks to see people caring about other people.
- Looking for a Blogger: Tina is trying to connect with Rachel who left a message on her blog, My Many Blessings but no way to contact her and answer her question. Rachel, if you're reading this, head back to Tina's blog and let her know how to reach you so she can tell you about homocysteine levels.
- New Blog: Off the IF Record requires a little explanation. It is written by a blogger you know and love, but who is writing anonymously right now. Think of it as one part venting space/one part advice column/and one part...something else kick-ass. The blog will contain her own stories as well as yours. If you needed a space to speak anonymously, here it is (with an easy email address to use if you'd like to be in touch with Lois Lane).
- Question: Grad Ovaries has a pregnancy/vision related question: "I normally get the occasional "floater" in my vision, but lately I've been experiencing bright, rolling balls of light on the periphery of my vision, only in my left eye. I usually get a headache within a few hours, also centered on the left side of my head (where my normal migraines are). So the little balls of light... normal escalation of migraines due to pregnancy? Indication of developing super powers? Or something else entirely?" Go over to her blog if you know the answer.
- Question: Cathleen needs some advice from ladies who have had to give themselves the dreaded PIO shot. Come on, go over (you know you know the world about ass shots) and answer her questions.
- Fundraiser: Henry Street is doing the MS Walk.
- Team On the Road continues to truck along. I cannot thank enough those who have donated or posted the code for Team On the Road. We've currently raised $1128! 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!
- 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!

Carey, at Uterus x 2, had her twins, Bennet and Kate on Friday. They are beautiful!
There was an IF blogger who recently discovered she was having quints, although two of the babies weren't doing so well. I lost her URL and she was very much in a place where she could use some support - does anyone know who this blogger is or where they can be found?
