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.
