I admit that Phoenix should carry on with her plans exactly as she sees fit. Only we know our own individual situations, and unless advice is asked for then others should mind their own. For what it's worth, Phoenix, I had a very similar moment when pregnant with my son that involved my Mum. As she sat lecturing me for the millionth time about how I was screwing up my life for not living it how she wanted me to, I got up, put my boots on and told her that she had a choice; she either shut up and accept this was my life, be a part of it on my terms, thus see her grandchild, or ... not. It was really that simple. I was not a child any more, and I'd been left home for 4 years already at that point. Do what brings you the most peace to your family. A photo is using your baby, it's sending them a reminder of what they have to lose, or what they chose to give away because ego got in the way. Wishing you all the best for the birth of you little one xx I admit I'm with DC and the others that feel down seeing the way this thread twisted :-( I admit that I hope Allie enjoys her well deserved time off. I admit that it's always nice to read when it's going well for others, so Doc's post is a good one, and I hope the theme continues for you through 2017 I admit that I hope 2017 brings all the positive that it can to Lucy and her Husband xx I admit that for all those others of you that post in here, and the rest of the boards that I interact with, I hope 2017 proves to be a better year where you need it the most, and enhances what you already have for the better xx Needles
