I posted this a while back: http://bloomingtonbirth.org/blog/2011/11/07/my-week-of-pregnancy/ and think that the more women can be open about these experiences the better we will all be able to understand the ups and downs of pregnancy and childbirth. I'm sorry for your experience and hope you have success in the near future. Thank you for sharing this post!

The dollar store right by BABS has pregnancy tests...might as well save some money! Good luck! I was quite the pee-on-a-stick-er myself.

He had horrible reactions to disposables and the solution just happens to be earth friendly as well. I show my son I love him by putting him in cloth diapers.

I buy big containers of snacks and separate them out into reusable containers, send them with drinks in reusable cups, and they each get a special cloth napkin. :) For Valentine's Day I will be making heart shaped snacks instead of buying something from the store.

A table decorated with potted flowering plants; red, pink, and white themed cotton tablecloths and napkins; candle light; and lastly heart shaped pancakes with real maple syrup. Showing your love can be inexpensive, reusable, and romantic. The way I show love to my family on Valentines Day, in a earth friendly way… is to celebrate at home, saving on fossil fuels.
