		<description>I&#039;m glad to hear you survived the due date. Obviously my situation was different, but our first due date that passed in December was a bit tough. And I totally feel your pain on the whole house-buying thing. On the plus side, it IS a distraction.</description>

		<description>I was sticking my tongue to Mr P the other day saying &quot;Look at the strange colour of my tongue&quot; and he was giving me that look as if to say &quot;Where is my wife, you pod person??&quot;. 

Glad you made it through, Amanda.</description>

		<description>Hey, Amanda. The first year of loss is a crazy time. For me, once I got past the first anniversary, I finally gave myself permission to live again.  I don&#039;t know if that makes sense, but there was a part of me that was dead - like I was just going through the motions of my existence.  Like I was in a play.  You never get over the loss - you just somehow learn to carry it with you in your heart.  Glad to hear you&#039;re doing o.k.   As for the lupron.....the side effects are the WORST!!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad to hear that the weekend went OK. I&#039;m also glad that you liked the acupuncture session. I hope it gives you the boost your body needs. May is right around the corner.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad you made it through this weekend. When we learned we could never have children of our, that we were, in effect, permanently infertile (which no longer may be technically true, btw) i never realized how important it was to mourn the losses i experienced so that they dont continue to bleed out into the rest of my life and into my future.

One of my favorite quotes from my grieving period is &quot;Time does not heal, but healing takes time,&quot; from Healing Through the Shadow of Loss.

Take care,

		<description>I&#039;m so glad you&#039;re feeling better. I don&#039;t think I said so before, but after my first miscarriage I felt much better after the due date had passed. I was hoping you would, too. For me it was like the pressure built and built as the date got closer, and then I felt a strange sense of relief (or something) after I got through it.

I&#039;m hoping for you on this cycle.</description>
