I really wish I'd come across this thread earlier as I think I tried to put my mc behind me too soon (that's a Scottish Prespeterian upbringing for you). Other than the first week post mc I never talk about it to anyone in RL (other than DH) and have spent all my energy on ttc which is good I know but I worry that it is going to bite me in the bum.
I had a catch up meeting with my boss last week and she mentioned that there was a 'sadness' to me which I admitted and said I was just counting the weeks 'til Christmas.
I was convinced I was having a girl and my close friend gave me a beautiful glass paperweight with a pink footprint on it as a memento which I cherish so good to hear of others taking comfort in similar ways.
On a lighter note in answer to your question Circular, I met my DH in the pub in 1999: closing time 1am, I drunkenly swaggered up to him at 12.30am and asked to buy him a pint. Bundled him off to my flat, made him listen to all my cool records (Black by Pearl Jam anyone ?). Bless him , he still tolerates me to this day!
Enought rambling, I bet this thread has another 20 posts since I started typing, apologies if I'm now out of date!
