I know I said I wouldn't be posting about IF for a bit, but I couldn't not tell you that last night I received a personal email from Monica Wiesblott, the artist from the Barren exhibit! I'd left my email address and blog URL in the guestbook, and to my surprise she recognized me from ICLW and has actually been by here before. (I have to admit, I was as excited as if I'd been recognized by a movie star!) I'm so pleased to be able to follow Monica on her infertility blog now!
I'm also very pleased to tell you that the exhibit is online! (Prepare for major trigs if you decide to check it out.) I don't know how I missed that before, but now that I have the link I'm going to be spreading it around wherever I can. It's such a powerful depiction of what it means to be infertile and to have suffered loss, and like I said in her guestbook, Monica is a very brave woman for baring her soul to the world in this way.
Thanks again to Monica!
Happy Hump Day :)

The boards
Has anyone been keeping up with the changes We.bM.D is making to the message boards this week/weekend? I've been lurking a bit on the 12+mo board, and saw this from By.ron.ey today: http://boards.webmd.com/webx?THDX@@.89f0887d!thdchild+.89f0887d
I think the option to set up your own message boards ("exchanges") is such a great idea. I kinda miss the ease of communication they provided when many of us were on the 12+mo board. Blogs are great for keeping up with each other one on one, but the boards made it easy to keep up with everyone at once, and made it easier to kind of "chat" with each other as well.
I've been thinking of setting up one or more exchanges, once the option is available. They can be public or private (by invitation), and I can think of reasons to use both. For example, an idea for a public exchange could be "Coping with IF" or something, and then have an invitation-only exchange just for people we know to chit chat or whatever. Really anyone could set up anything they want.
The 12+mo board doesn't "do it" for many of us still TTC, but is everyone over the idea of boards in general? Or would you visit a public or private board again if it was more suited to your needs/wants? Am I the only one who thinks it's a cool idea? :)
