Hi Girls,
I'm an old-timer here, but I haven't had the time lately to keep up with the community. I do lurk at least once or twice a week, and pipe up when I can.
So, right now I am sitting on a dozen eggs and heading out for egg retrieval this morning. It does get easier with time and practice, but it is still very emotional.
I would appreciate any crossed digits, P&PT, good vibes, and power hums.
Best wishes to everyone!
Allison

Allison,
I don't know you well enough to hum....plus I'd be so off key it would be really bad luck for everyone.....BUT - I will say a few prayers and send you tons of sticky vibes.
