I don't text message much so I don't know what a lot of the shorthand stands for in the replies. I'd appreciate a "fast course". I know lol means laugh out loud but here are a few I can't figure out.... (feel free to add any others that will help me figure out what everyone is saying.

Thanks!

hi there,
you can go up to the top and click on the pink link at the far right, "about the boards" and go to "icons and abbreviations." that has a pretty good primer.
for your specific questions:

ds : dear son
dh : dear husband
dd : dear daughter
and so on and so on...
hth : hope this helps
kwim : know what i mean
ttc : trying to conceive

also useful on this board is
nms : not my style
