MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
- Sorry for the lack of Connections Abound yesterday--another trip to the doctor's office and a strong need to decompress by putting post-it notes all over cookbook recipes.
- Fundraising: This is the last week to contribute to the March of Dimes by making a donation to Team of the Road. Altogether, the three participating teams have raised $3416. The walk was this past weekend for In Search of Biscuit 2.0, but the other two remaining walkers (Stirrup Queens and My Perky Ovaries) are walking this weekend! You can still make a donation!
- U.T.E.R.U.S. update: We now have around $2200 (um...have I mentioned that men talk and women get the job done?). We are $800 away from that goal. We still have ideas up our sleeves and we will see this to the end. But we could use your ideas and enthusiasm. We have started a listserv for U.T.E.R.U.S. Click here to join U.T.E.R.U.S. and get on the email list. We will be taking our brainstorming session to the listserv soon so sign up now. This is the same listserv we will use for all future brainstorming sessions when we do this again to help the next blogger.
- Two Florida face-to-face groups are merging (Tampa and Orlando). If you want to go to the next get together, Jen has a post currently up about the next meeting.
- Question: JJ from Reproductive Jeans wants people to weigh in with their thoughts on PIO vs. suppositories. Head over there and give your thoughts.
- Question: Perchance to Dream is asking for fresh eyes on an old problem--funding fertility treatments. Please go over to her blog and give your thoughts.
- Question: Amy is asking a question for a friend about continuing Met during pregnancy. Go over if you can answer it.

I think Caro must be having her baby - she hasn't been on googlechat this week that I've seen, and she usually is. I think I last saw her on Monday. I hope we get news soon!
I emailed you re Caro :)
