Jo - awesome news about your scan and the ole cervix staying long! ( and closed). Well done! What a relief to be "normal" ... it is a good way to bring this bubba into the world. I did end up going to get photos with the man in red. Hannah was in the christmas dress that Grandma made for her and looked ever so cute. She didn't puke or poo on Santa so it's all good from there. The "grandies" are going to love the pic. I sent it to them yesterday.

I agree - not really worth forcing Kaitlyn into a photo with someone she's not too keen on.

Jo and Laney - I don't know what number of children that I think we'll have. I didn't expect to have 4 and only 1 at home. I do think I would like a sibling at home for Hannah so fx. Laney, I was pretty keen to be pregnant again too, despite how hard it is for me, I would and will do it again. The desire to be pregnant again seems to have lessened just a bit this last week or so, but I missed it so much. But for me it's also the "race to 40", so in a sense there is some self imposed pressure to get through another pregnancy before 40.

Laney - speaking of a lot to deal with, I had a counselling appointment today. I took Hannah who was a delight. I hadn't been since about week 8-10 of my pregnancy with Hannah, so there was lots to talk about. But I must have gone there today with a sense of peace. I used to always have one when I left even if I didn't realise I needed a counselling session, but today, I just came away with some good ideas on how to approach some things. But grief work is never done.....

Beata - did you get snow? did you put up your tree? Do you like bbq pork buns? San chow Bau? ( Not sure of the spelling) I love them at yum cha...
