   Hey ginger - happy birthday from me too!
 
I love your blogs and posts - they quite often give me a little chuckle. What a knack you have saying really crap situations in a great sense!
 I ditto the toy hand-me-down thing! Two birds with one stone    
You know how some people put little marks underneath estate items so everyone knows who they go to? I think you should do that, and when it's time, 'reclaim' everything for your bubs. At least then, after you've maxed out the VISA (hehe retail therapy), you won't have to worry about buying anything. Hmmm, a good thought me thinks.

Hmmmm, maybe not - you want to live till your next birthday!

   Hey!  I don't need fizzy drink and noisy toys (besides, her grandmother seems to have taken care of that.  I spent half the birthday party hiding toys because my poor ears were ready to fall off!).  I am the wickedest aunty in the history of the world ...
 
(nauseating brage coming right up)
 My SIL was trying to get my niece to open her bday presents at the weekend (she's 1, it wan't going to happen!), and she wasn't interested at all.  I was sitting on a chair on the other side of the room watching the proceedings, and the next thing, she totters over to me, gets her little chair, moves it to my feet, climbs up, adn holds her arms out to aunty for a cuddle and then sits there and opens a present on my knee!      Heart-melting stuff    
I don't know that SIL was very impressed though ...

   Awww Emile, I know she wouldn't have said that if she knew. It's a tough situation to be in, I've been through it with my sister (the other way around, she's infertile? and our parents were the hinters). I feel for you... minutely as it is though!
 
 How are you getting on with the injections?
