I am sure you all know her by now, but in case you didn't, Melissa is THE Queen of all Infertiles - she is one of the most knowledgeable people in the land of infertility and runs a blog that aggregates lots and lots of other infertility bloggers. A really switched on girl who has v v kindly offered to host a book shower for my book, YAY!
On Monday morning, American time (which I think converts to Christmas 2008 in South Africa), she will post a list of names of the wonderful, kind and exceptionally good looking folk who bought a copy of my book with their own hard earned $$$ and kindly offered to review my book on their blogs. EEEEKK!! Some potentially critical feedback on my book - my sphincter is clenching. It's never easy to hear critique on something so personal. I could never be an artist or something like that, I would cry if someone didn't like my painting. Not that it means you shouldn't be honest in your feedback about my book!
Please pop over to Mel's blog and click on each of the names of the reviews to read what they thought about my book.
Oh, and while you are at it - Mel has written her own book, a fantastic guide on navigating the land of infertility. Why not buy both our books together, they go so nicely together ;-)
Thanks Mel, for the book shower and for always flying the flag high for us IF gals. xxxx

Right, now it is very annoying to get a comment that's not related to the post in question, but stuff it, I've been looking for the answer to this quesiton all over the magical interwebs for days wityh no luck. Tertia is far too busy to respond but maybe one of the readers will know - how do you get a headline ticker/blogroll type thingie like Tertia has just below the title So Close on her blog? I wannnnnnnnnnt one, am using Blogger, and none of the gadgets I can see to add to my blog do this presumably very basic thing? Anyone? Thanks if you do know and sorry for being a pain Tertia. It's been a complete pleasure reading your story and good luck for the next few weeks! You do know everyone will be worrying that you've gone into labour if you don't blog for, like, 5 minutes. How will you let us know???

oh darn, i just came online to 'rip a new one' for the silly troll who wrote the rude ignorant response yesterday, and you have erased it . . . good for you. what i can't figure is why people feel the need to attack on someone else's page? like, you actually have to choose to come to the page in the first place . . . so, why even look if it upsets you so much. am counting the days til you deliver my 48th birthday present, altho i prob will never get to hold him in person. warm fuzzies coming your way.
