This morning Nicole took a FRER test and sure as heck there was a faint second line! We are cautiously optimistic about it, but also very excited. We will retest tomorrow morning to see what happens.
Meanwhile, last night I felt the urge to start going through all of our stuff again. We got rid of a whole box of items just out of our closet and dressers. I was actually impressed seeing that I got rid of items without much thought that I'd been holding onto even though I knew they didn't fit any longer.
Plus, I broke out the sewing machine last night to start reusing some of those old clothes for cloth baby wipes.
