Hi guys!
As promised, here I am! And as promised, here's the bit about DH... well, my husband is extremely helpful around the house. We divided the chores between ourselves and we stick to it no matter what, and we don't pass comments on each other's chores either. He handles the trash, recycling, everything that has to do with the yard, emptying the cat litter, and all the floors. I handle the menu planning, the cooking, the laundry, the dishes and cleaning the bathrooms. He always handles the dishes if I cook an especially fancy meal that takes longer. We walk the dogs and do grocery shopping together.
BUT since I became pregnant, there were moments when I was just dead, back order, not going to happen! Every single time, without me saying one word, whenever DH saw me put a hand on my achy back or just sit, tired, on the sofa, he'd come to me and ask, "What have you planned for dinner tonight?" And I'd point to the right recipe and he'd cook it, serve it, clean the kitchen afterwards AND make me a portion for my lunchbox if I was too tired. Every single night since we've started living together, I've never had to get up after dinner to get dessert; he always gets up first and asks me what I want. Sometimes, he'll be waiting for me at the train station, just because he took a guess I would be arriving by that train so he can spare me the walk back home. He never passes a comment, he never complains.
Last weekend, he asked me what I had planned. I told him I had to clean the bathrooms, and I wanted to install a curtain pole I had just bought for the corridor, and a ceiling lamp in the baby's room. I didn't have time to do it on Saturday, and I spent Sunday at my friend's. When I came back, the lamp was installed, the pole too, the dishes were done, both bathrooms were sparkling clean and he had started doing the laundry. The next day? I was cooking dinner and, without me saying one word, he did the dishes next to me in the kitchen.
Let me tell you, my husband is not perfect, but he's amazing. After spending the day at my friend's house, I realize how it even more. I told you that my friend has been in complete bedrest for the past 3 weeks. Her husband complains ALL the time. He finds it a huge effort to do the dishes or cook dinner and he reminds her every single chance he gets that he's making huge efforts. With a smile, mind you, but there's that huge hint of resentment behind it... I find it horrible, it's not like it's her fault. He's already showing her how little she can rely on him during stressful or busy times like this, and it will be even worse when the baby is there. I felt extremely sad for her. He's an only child and still mom's little boy at 30; it's not surprising, he's always been extremely spoiled and his mom never encouraged him to do things on his own. Just sad.
So there ya go! Don't have time to do personals now, I have to leave, but I'll be back this afternoon and I'll send them then!

Now let's spend the rest of our lives having fun together!
I'm sorry. Work is taking over my life. 
I've got a full diary with meetings (and that too not in the same place) so will have to be on the goo all day (s). The only reason for this is that I have a lazy boss right now who seriously doesn't know anything. Hence, he makes me tag along to meetings to him so that I can support him 
. Any question I ask him, he refers me to someone else! Initially he used to just say he was too busy to explain it but now he's had no choice but to admit he doesn't know! I hate having to do all the thinking for our project. Grrrr..........................!!!

Hi Lee,
I am sorry your PMA has disappeared for awhile. It will come back, I know it will. I can understand your fears though. I can only imagine how stressful it is knowing this is the last time. I dont remember, is it the last time because of funding? or other reasons? Lee I am praying for you lady. I am sooo hoping your embies are snuggling in and getting comfy for the long haul. This two week wait is just terrible. You get your hopes up, then you start doubting and there is absolutely nothing you can do to make those embies stick. BUT we have HOPE!!! And that is all that matters right now!!!!

My DH is the type that has been spoilt rotten by his mum. He hardly had to lift a finger while growing up. He learnt a little bit when he moved away while in Uni. But after we moved in together, he's become laid back again. Its not that he deliberatly doesn't do anything, it just doesn't occur to him. So if I say we need to do the cleaning, he'll do it happily (as long as the time suits him!). But if for instance, the laundry basket is overflowing, he won't think to start the washing machine. Or unless I leave the rubbish out quite directly, he won't think to empty the bin and change the liners....etc. As for cooking, we won't even go there!!! And he probably doesn't realise that the clean sheet don't just get there, I do clean them regularly. But like Lee's DH, it took mine over a year to learn how to use the washing machine! And that was out of desperation as he ran out of clean clothes when I went on a "work strike" at home 
.
But I have to put up my hands and admit that its partly my fault. I'm such a control freak when it comes to the house and housework, that I end up doing everything without giving him a chance. And he's happy not to interfere. In a bizzaire way it works - excpet for occassions when I am so exhausted and run down, I have it out with him and tell him off for never doing anything.
But on the other hand, he handles all our paperwork, bills, car maintenance..........etc. I don't know how to change a lightbulb!
ok, gotta run now.

The 2ww is by far the hardest.

Somehow the tx itself seems to just go in a whirlwind and there is the excitement. You start off the 2ww really hopeful. But as you get closer to the test date and the symptoms or lack of can drive anyone mental.
Oh, and don't imagine life without a child. BELIEVE!!!
