MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
- A heads up for Clickers and those who care: due to Pesach, I won't be able to put up the Lost and Found on Friday or Monday. Therefore, any news that you know beforehand that will happen between Friday and Monday should go in this Thursday's issue. I may post over the weekend, but I'd rather get it in early as a guarantee. If you have any news you know will fall during that time, send it to me and I'll make sure it gets in. Of course, there will be a Roundup. There is aaaaaaaaaaalways a Roundup :-) And I'll be live-blogging from the seder table.
- U.T.E.R.U.S. Update: we have so many cool auctions running on the US eBay right now and need your help to advertise it. Please put in a plug anywhere you post and make the US eBay auction as successful as the UK one! Important: Also, someone sent Jen a question yesterday and it was eaten by her SPAM filter. If you emailed her for the auction and haven't gotten a response, can you please email her again?
- Colorado Bloggers: It's not too late to RSVP for the ColoBloggers gathering this Saturday. Get info here.
- Class: Lori from Weebles Wobblog is offering a class in Denver on Open Adoption, which she teaches with her daughter's birthmother . The two-hour class will be offered three times, with the first offering being in late May. Contact Lori for more information or visit this link for specifics.
- Question: Teamwinks has a few questions for you--how long did you rest after retrieval/transfer. She would also love for people to swing by who can tell her more about retrieval (tips, advice). Go help her out.
- Question: Three Under Two has a question about medical billing. You can read the backstory in the link, but she is right now being billed for an IVF cycle that took place in 2005. If you can help her out and have ever fought insurance, please go over there.
- Book Club Sign Up: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen begins tomorrow and all are welcome to join along. A book club from the comfort of your own living room...
- 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 $2625! 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!

I will send any news in early.
MeanMama started spotting tonight and is worried. I'll let you know if I hear anything more tomorrow. She's 30w2d.
