MISCELLANEOUS NEWS

- I am writing this from the bathroom floor. The twins are napping and I don't want to turn on the lights in the living room. It is really uncomfortable down here. Some of this will be repeated from Friday when I spilled forth everything I had on the calendar for this week, not knowing when I'd have an Internet connection. Some of it is new.
- Resource: Resolve just put out a free PDF you can print on progesterone information. "RESOLVE has developed a brochure which provides information on progesterone and its effect on the pregnancy cycle. In addition, the brochure discusses various methods of administration of progesterone."
- Fundraiser: posting this for Hailey Kent's parents who conceived her via a surrogate. Please read and contribute to their fund. They are also asking people to watch this youtube video and rate it a 5.
- Questions: There Must Be More Than Being Fond of Grief has questions about Repronex. Please head over to her blog if you can answer them.
- Question: "My sister-in-law has had a hellacious pregnancy for various reasons and is about to be induced at around 36 weeks. I think the induction has to do with problems with the mom and the baby is fine. I'm assuming her baby will be in the hospital, possibly NICU, for a bit? I’m wondering if anyone can suggest a thoughtful gift for a mom in this position. I’ve posted this question at my blog http://othershoe.typepad.com and people can comment there with suggestions. Thanks for any advice. Joy." Head over if you can help!
