Thanks, everybody, for your support. As usual, you are great at pick-me-ups. I will certainly keep your advice in mind, and I am very glad that you don't think that I should stop because of my little one!

I have been in contact with a great GC member who has been wonderful from day one. She has been a great source of encouragement. Because I haven't heard anything from "Little Women" in 15 months (despite e-mails and greeting cards), I guess I just stopped corresponding with the GC mentor because I didn't want to put her in an awkward situation. If her sisters have decided that I am not a good fit with their organization, then I don't want her to feel that I am asking her to disagree with them. Know what I mean?

After the baby arrives and I get a handle on my new life, I think I will write to the alum group and the college chapter because there are certainly new members and officers in both places.

Thanks for being there....
