Sue... how exciting that little Lily put on such a show for you. I can't wait until it is you posting your pics of holding her in your arms with a big satisfied grin on your face.
I don't know about everyone else but I have been praying that 2009 is a great year for all of us. I love to picture us all chatting still next christmas and maybe all of us moving to a new thread entitled 'earth angels in our arms at last!'.
I just wanted to tell everyone Merry Christmas. I know the holidays are a very difficult time of the year for everyone in here. I am trying very hard to think positive for the future. The year to come is going to be bring great things for all of us .
Tomorrow is my 27th birthday. I am having a little trouble getting into the celebrating mood. It is only 2 weeks until my next scan. That is the ultrasound that has always told us that our babies are not growing well. I have been having a very emotional few days and I know that it is only going to get worse before it gets better. It has helped a little to have our little man kicking away in there. I wish the kicks were more constant but I know it is still really early. I am lucky to be feeling anything at all. It always makes me smile when I get a huge unexpected kick.
Sue, congratulations on a positive scan and a little girl, such wonderful news, you must be very excited!
Congrat's to you Tildy for keeping your job (it's very tough globally now isn't it) & for Kebab being 25 wks, that little car on your ticker is racing away.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow Laney! I can completely understand how nervous you must be about the upcoming scan. Kicks must be a really good sign, 15 wks is so early so that's great! As hard as it is do celebrate your birthday and your little one growing inside of you. I'll be thinking of you.
Dee, I can't remember welcoming you here? So welcome! glad your 6-wk check-up went well. Good-luck for your TTC journey, I hope it's a quick one for you.
Diana, no jumping bones this month lol - not for baby reasons anyway! Jan is the starting month. Have decided to relax this month and enjoy a couple of wines over Christmas, so it's action stations in Jan. So that means it will be Paula, Dee?, TM, Lan, Tocarra, yourself and me all trying in Jan. Hope I haven't missed anyone. Add your name if I have, will be good to keep track of all the TTC'ers.
Katie, thank you for your words of encouragement. Great to have you in this thread. Enjoy your little girl over Christmas, such a special time for you and your DH.
All those with little ones growing, give your tummy's a nice rub for those of us who are hoping to be in the same situation next year! I am so happy for you all and hope for safe deliveries in 2009!
For all the TTC'ers like me, be expectant of a great 2009, a babe in arms or a belly to rub! It is a difficult time at Christmas when you either expected a little one in your arms or a big belly.
Wishing you all a happy and peaceful Christmas.

I lost my little boy at 35wks 5days. We have been TTC since Sept but no BFP yet. Maybe Jan will bring us a new start and a wish come true?!?! Just wanted to join in with all of you as we had such a late loss and I know you can all relate.
Zachary's Mum, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious little boy, my heart goes out to you, life can be so cruel. Glad that you have come into this thread, we will all encourage you and hope for a BFP soon! Praying that you get your miracle in 2009. Take care of yourself.

Zachary's mom: Welcome to our TTC thread. I'm so sorry to hear about Zachary -- you're right, we can definitely relate, but we also know that everyone's experience is very different. I was devastated by my late loss but cannot fully imagine what it must have been like for you, or for the ladies who have had multiple early losses. I'm sorry you have to be here, but I'm glad we can get to know you.
Laney: Happy 27th birthday! I hope you and DH have a good time celebrating, and that you get one or two little kicks or big flutters to bring some smiles and hope into your special day.
Helen: Have some chocolate or sugary treats over Christmas and then lie down on your left side and see if you get some flutters. It's still early and you might not feel any, but you can say Tildy said you had to eat chocolate.
Lan: Have a good time at the coast, but don't let DH off the hook! I expect activity at least every other day! *sings 'I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus'*
Sue: Hope you have a great Christmas with all the new experiences that Lily is bringing! I can see her clumsily trying to open her first pressies next year!
Katie: I wish you the merriest of Christmases for Anna's first, and I know that Lan is right -- Nathaniel will be in your heart as well.
Rozzie: Still feel like you're my partner in crime, so here's a Christmas for you!
Jo: We haven't heard from you for a while, but I hope you're just out celebrating the holidays already with friends and family. Take care of yourself, and give our love to Jack and Madison when you think of them. I wish with all my heart for 2009 to be a better year for you.
Diane, Paula, Dee -- to you and our other TTCers, I hope you can smile to yourselves during the holiday and imagine and hope that next year your families will be +1 for the holidays. One of my best friends told me after my loss that she knew I was going to make it, and that when I was 80 years old, the extra few months or years that I struggled to have a baby in my arms would seem to small. I know we're going to make it, girls.
We're headed up to Karlstad tomorrow to spend a week or so with DH's fabulous family. MIL will surely be all fussy over my belly, despite already having 8 grandkids between the ages of 3 and almost 20. The cats will make the 3 hour car ride hell (and imagine if it snows again, eek -- there are at least some advantages for you guys having Christmas in the summer ), the 8 nieces and nephews will make the week hectic and chaotic, MIL's well-meaning fussiness will make me roll my eyes -- and it will all be wonderful, because I just love, love, love my crazy Swedish family and can't wait to add Kebab to it in April.
Thank you all so much for helping me survive 2008. Your concern and support have meant a great deal to me through some very dark days.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANEY! I hope you have a wonderful day. I can only imagine how nervous you are. Hang in there and here's to baby making lots of little waves in there.
Theresa, I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy Zachary. How cruel to get that far and not take him home. I am sending you a very big hug and a truck load of support. Welcome to our thread. I am and hoping we all get our BFPs and the new year brings our much wanted earth babies.
Tildy, thanks for the words of encouragement, nice story. Enjoy your time away and wishing you and your family a wonderful Xmas and hope Kebab gets loads of attention.
Apologies in advance for the rant but I had such a flat weekend and was in tears for most of the time Dropped off loads of Xmas presents to the kids in our family and had a house full of guests last night including kids (one a newborn). I worked myself into such a state after they left I was throwing up like mad. I love them dearly but it just hurts so much and makes me miss my little boy desperately. I guess I am a little nervous about my pg test tomorrow too. I really feel like AF is coming though but obviously praying it doesn't.
The eeriest thing is my little boy was due on the anniversary of my mum's death and if I fall pg this cycle, the baby would be due on her birthday. Of all the dates in the year. Is this a sign girls?
Again, sorry for the rant. I know you are all feeling emotional and missing your angel babies.
