I have to share this story..
 

My best friend since I was 9 has been trying for a baby for 10 years. She has 'unexplained infertility' - nothing wrong with her or her OH.. seems they are just not compatible.. Anyway, 8 IVF treatments and 30,000 pounds later I get an email 8 months ago with nothing but a scan picture of her baby :wub:

She is more like a sister than a best friend - even when we haven't been in touch, when we come back together its like we've never been apart. We have been there for eachother when our parents died, when we got married, all the important life events..

Since moving here we have emailed back and forth, and the last email I got was about 2 months ago when she left work. Then I realised I didn't have her mobile or house telephone number.. I have been trying to find ways of contacting her. I was laying in bed last night and had this huge urge to call her - and spent the morning trying to hunt her down. I found her home number in a book in a pile of papers :thumbsup:

So I called her (both emotional) and she is due this Friday.. I was soo happy I called her before she had the baby. We exchanged numbers etc.. She has had a tough pregnancy and sadly her twin brother's wife has had 2 still births in the last year (one was full term) :( So she is understandably really nervous about the labour and delivery. So, we carry on chatting and all of a sudden she says "Laura, when do you know if your waters have broken" :eek:

They had broken right then while we were chatting.. I am an absolute giddy kipper.. Just wanted to share that, cos I am just so happy right about now :thumbsup: Please all send your positive thoughts in the direction of London :wub:

That's fantastic! I will be sending good vibes over the pond for your friend. I'm glad you were able to connect before the baby arrived. Does she know what she's having?

Re: I have to share this story..
 

Yeah.


A baby....

No news yet.. I think you'll be close there Lisa - She doesn't know the sex of the baby, but I'm guessing a boy - and they have said the baby is a long lean baby.. I'll let you know :)
