<br>Well girls, we're on the the two week wait<br>Just 14 days to know our fate<br>We'll tear our hair, we'll feel each pain<br>And worry til we go insane<br><br>We'll pray & hope, then hope & pray<br>That this time we will get our way<br>We'll drink huge lakes of water daily<br>And pop those pessar...

Hi Trace, A good feeling - oooh brilliant thanks mate. No I'm not negative but think I'll handle failure a bit better, just feel more relaxed this time, am managing to think about other things cos last time it was 100% nutcase time.

Hi Grace ..... your "limbo" thing really struck a chord. I feel exactly the same. In my mind I have two plans for our future - one is easy - if we have a baby things will happen naturally, we'll be poorer financially but complete in every other way. The second one involves lots of "things" as distra...
