I just saw this post and now it’s Friday and soon you should know something. But I’m thinking about you anyway and hope to hear good news. ---

My thoughts and prayers are for you and the baby. I’m also keeping my fingers crossed and knocking on wood and sacrificing a goat. Might as well cover the bases. Now, go and rest. ---

I am so sorry to report that the news is not good. Tatertot (aka Tracy) suffered a miscarriage last night. Tracy wanted me to tell everyone: “Please, please let everybody know how much their thoughts and prayers have meant to me. I know that we lost the baby, but knowing that so many people were there for us gave me the strength to make it through these terrible days.” On top of it all, Tracy’s son, Nicholas, celebrates his fifth birthday next week. She needs to put on a brave face and not ruin it for him. Tracy, in the short time I’ve known her, has displayed such a strength of character, and nobility of spirit, that I KNOW she’ll get through this (just as I know Shayna and Wally’s family and friends will get through their grieving). But let us all give her a bit of our strength: please remember Tracy and her family in her thoughts and prayers. (To whom it may concern: please forgive my duplicating this sad news in two different threads. I wish I’d never had to post it once, to say nothing of twice.)
