510th Issue of the LFCA

Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point of Lost and Found is to level the support playing field. When LFCA works correctly, the newest blogger with the smallest readership can receive the same level of support as the oldest blogger with the largest readership. Anyone can submit news to LFCA by clicking here.

Lost and Found is open to anyone in the
infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
  • Kirtsy'd Pick O' the Day: None Today.
  • Temporary Posting Time Change: I may end up posting the LFCA the night before this week while my schedule is so off from vacation. Once life goes back to normal next week, I'll move it back to the morning. So it will say the date from the night before (for instance, this one says "Sunday") but it's really for the next day (in other words, Monday).
  • Collecting Resolutions: State your New Year resolution either in a blog post or via Twitter and post a link here.
  • Email Change: WiseGuy of Woman Anyone? has had to switch the e-mail id on which she receives her comments due to some privacy issues. Hence, the reply to the commenters may come from an id different than what was being used by her all this time. The new id has something familiar and the surname of a South Park character.
  • Blog Move: Mrs. Spit is moving to new digs, as a result of a fabulous Christmas present. Come on by and join her at www.mrsspit.ca. Everything is moved in and she's unpacked enough to know where the coffee pot is!
  • Daily Update: There are currently 201 participants on the Creme de la Creme 2009 list.
Old

MISCELLANEOUS SUPPORT AND CELEBRATIONS (scary scans, anxious waits, OHSS, and a host of other reasons why these bloggers could use some additional support right now. Also, celebratory retrievals, transfers, and other good news)
  • Genie could use a lot of support right now. Her doctor wants to investigate some lumps in her breast that had previously been diagnosed as benign. Please go keep her company as she awaits her MRI on Dec 31st.
  • MeAndBaby had her 8th IUI on Saturday! Go keep her company in the WUB.
  • END.ometriosis is in need of prayers and support for her family as last week her sister attempted suicide. Please go offer support and prayers.
BEDREST BABES: on bedrest following infertility or loss and needing support. Drop in on them and keep them company.
  • Good Egg Hunting is happy to say that she's now at 34 weeks and still going strong. Still on bed rest but right now the main issue is that the baby is transverse (and she has a fibroid that may get in the way of vertex) so she may need a scheduled c-section.
