Not getting evangelical. There's so much shit in the news, there must be some joy somewhere. My cousin got married a few years ago. They started trying for a baby quite soon afterwards. They had a baby boy, who died unexpectedly within minutes of being born. She's never got over it, and has been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant ever since. A couple of years ago they turned to IVF. She put her name down with the NHS, knowing there was a long waiting list. In the meantime they used all their savings and paid privately for it 3 times, with no joy. Then her husband was made redundant so they couldn't afford to keep trying. She knew she must be near top of the NHS list by now, so she rang her doctor a couple of months ago to check on her progress and discovered that due to an administrative fuck up they'd never actually been put on the list. She was devastated and had to accept that they'd never be parents. She rang me this morning to tell me she's 6 weeks pregnant. Nothing could make me happier right now, I feel euphoric. I also got Stereophonics tickets just to make me super happy. Along with Stouffer's impending nuptials, you all must have something positive to the good news thread, even Section. Come on, do eet!
