Thanks for the support. :Hug: we've had 6 weeks to comes to terms with things, so at this point, it just is what it is. I am switching care to give birth at a children's hospital, and the cardiologist we are assigned to there specializes in her type of CHD. So, we have a game plan, and I finally feel like someone was able to give us an idea of what to expect both short and long term. She's quite feisty and has kicked at the ultrasound probe during the last two scans, which feels like a sign that she has the right sort of spirit for what's to come. Still very sad, but there's not much point in wallowing. I'm due at the end of September, and will have a C/S middle of the month around 38-39w.
That sucks about the car, Pretty. That kind of thing is so upsetting and feels so violating
Not sure what is going on in Canada, but here, it feels like they won't prosecute a lot of crimes, so of course people just keep doing it over and over again. My SO and I were talking yesterday about the steering wheel locks people used to have in the 90s. Wonder if those are primed for a comeback. At least you might be able to pick a new car and get all new car seats. Very small silver lining. But sorry you have to deal with insurance and the massive inconvenience of it all. It isn't fair.
FX for a honeymoon baby, Shae!
I'd just not press the issue and hope that he's up for it when you're there and enjoying yourselves. I think your Mom is so right about people's personality really shaping how you feel about them. I've met people and found them stunning, only to find out theyre not very nice... Then they really dont seem attractive at all. And vice versa.
Dobby- ugh, sorry about the dud bedroom action. I would say that one time isn't a definitive and final reflection of how things would be every time. He might just be nervous, so I would continue to spend time with him, boost him up a little and see if it improves. If he was a nerdy teen/young adult, he may just carry that nervousness around with girls, but will come into his own if his confidence grows. I don't think you need to settle for great sex or a nice person. You can have both. Give him a little more time, and maybe you can gently take the lead to begin with... He might end up surprising you. I can see him being very receptive to "you know I really like..." and playful suggestions. And if it ends up being a deal breaker, so be it. But give him a proper shot before making that call.
You didn't give us a you update, giggle. How are things? What's DH's work situation? Any new feelings about a possible baby? Summer plans?
Hope you're well too, Flueky! When I picked my LO up from school the other day, there was a Mom getting her three girls who were maybe 10/8/6ish. Made me think of you in a few years
.
wishing you lots of happiness as your approach your wedding day! 
so you never know. And honestly it sounds like that is exactly what you need, i.e. a relationship where things didn’t start of being purely a sexual thing. I’m interested to see where this goes….!
