Hi all,

Just wanted to pop in and let you know that (a) We got a house today (no chooks allowed but cats ok) and (b) Sadly, I am not pregnant this time round.

I am ok, just disappointed and as I'm sure you can understand, stressed. I saw my husband cry for the first time today. That was probably the hardest part.

I will be meeting with the clinic in the next week or so to decide how to proceed. We are lucky enough to have one more embryo stored, so are able to do another attempt, at a time my physician decides is appropriate.

We are moving at the end of May.

That's all my news I think. Big day at work tomorrow so you may not hear from me, but don't worry - I'll be ok.

Hi everyone.

I spent the whole day house hunting with hubby.  Well, looking at the outside of houses - it's Saturday so nothing is open for inspection.  The rental market here is tight.  Not enough houses to go round, and if you own a pet you are right up against it.  There is no way we will find a home we can take the chickens at a cost we can afford.  We did find one place which accepts them, but it's way out of our budget.  The chooks will be going to my brother's house. 

He will give them a good home, if he can keep them alive.  His 3 flocks were all decimated by foxes.  He won't molly coddle them as I do. He won't sit in the run and talk to them, or pat them as I do.  They won't have the big, wide comfortable roost with lots of space that I know they need.  They can't even jump more than 30 cm because they are huge, and his roost is way up in the air.  They will just be 'the chickens' and largely ignored but for food and water. Do you think they will adapt?   Will they sleep on the floor?  I am worried sick they will be frightened. They are so used to human attention, and they just won't be getting any. It darn near breaks my heart, but there is no other choice.

I know there are worse things that could happen.  It's just that there is so much uncertainty and stress in my life at the moment.  I don't know where I will live, or if the chooks will be ok, or if I will ever have a baby.  I am just.....empty.

I'm sorry.  I'm not very good company at the moment.

Krista

*SUPER SMASH HUGS KRISTA* I'll be praying for you.
