Personally I prefer plants that will last and be beautiful to flowers that are only gorgeous for a few days and then die.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805727250430361509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38792679.post-44430082997711608392010-01-25T13:31:48.958-05:002010-01-25T13:31:48.958-05:00It sounds so much like they want you to have every...It sounds so much like they want you to have every opportunity that they once wished for themselves. When I look through the losses of IF, the loss of the opportunity to parent often finds people looking for other ways to fulfill this need. This may very well be fulfilling their need. (-; <br /><br />I would likely send them a heartfelt note now thanking them for their support and generosity. And then a gift from the CR...is there something they like from there (maybe edible, etc.) that they can't get here that you could easily bring back? I think there will be other opportunities to express your appreciation in the future too (like after you are growing that belly).<br /><br />What incredible people they are.Lost in Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027117135940864685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38792679.post-7753292414082129612010-01-24T18:13:14.316-05:002010-01-24T18:13:14.316-05:00Wow!

I think a thank you gift now would be nice (like a nice flower arrangement or edible arrangements?) and maybe going out for dinner together when you return?<br />So exciting that things are coming together so nicely!Spaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218029997493071344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38792679.post-53031687567780931122010-01-24T15:20:02.136-05:002010-01-24T15:20:02.136-05:00Sweetie, your friends are amazing.

If they couldn't have children of their own, they probably have come to term with it by now, and I'm sure they feel that if in some way they can help you get there and realize your dream, it will be as if there became a bit more fertile themselves. As to how to thank them; well, i think I would perhaps send them something now, may be a plant with a thank you note, and then bring something back from Prague. I can feel your excitement building up!! love, FranFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717020378275616297noreply@blogger.com
