Last year on December 25th I received my monthly sign that I was not pregnant. Merry frickin’ Christmas to me after trying to concieve for a year and a half! I gave up. The next day I bought tickets so Kurt and I could celebrate our eighth anniversary in Vegas. I gave up on the, “but what if I get pregnant and I won’t be able to enjoy it cause I’ll be so tired” crap. When our anniversary rolled around I was pregnant. I was so tired I took a nap in our room in the pyramid at the Luxor immediately after we arrived. That same night we had tickets to see Penn & Teller. I was still so sleepy that people must have thought I was stoned. I did eat really well while we were there. I just had to avoid certain areas of the buffet tables.
This year December 25th can’t be ruined, monthly cycle or not. This year December 25th will be Sophia’s third month birthday and Kurt’s mom, sister, and niece will be coming from Michigan to see her.
The only two wishes I’ve ever had have both finally come true. In 2005 I went to Europe and in 2007 I have a baby. This year (just recently really) I have a third wish (aside from the obvious wanting to talk Kurt into doing the baby thing one more time in a couple years), but I haven’t decided the details on this wish. I have a friend that recently had her heart crushed. I know she felt like this one was “THE ONE”, so I’m not sure if I should wish that he come to his senses and tell her what she wants to hear (Not because it is what she wants to hear, but because he means it and finally knows it) or that she finds someone else soon and when they fall in love he will recognize it.
I’m just going to say thank you, and leave it at that. You know. And, yes… let’s go to Canada. I’ll grab some donuts along the way.
Congratulations! Christmas with a baby is one of the most speciai experiences you will have. Have a wonderful holiday!
Congratulations on your Christmas gift.
She’s adorable
I remember my first child’s first Christmas. It will always be special for you and your family!
great post!! Enjoy Christmas with your new baby!
Great personal post relating to the theme of three!
I’m glad your wish finally came true!
My 2 cents on your new wish is that you should wish for her to find the man who will love her and give her what she needs, not about the last guy.
Anyway, mine’s up!
My daughter is expecting her third child (a daughter) in January, so she’s having a baby around Christmas, too. Three months old. So cute and sweet!!! Does she like the lights on the tree?
Where in Michigan? Not that I’d know them or anything. Duh!
Congratulations on becoming a mommy!
Isn’t it the best?!?!?!
Happy 3rd month birthday to your baby. How wonderful that family gets to come and see her also.
That certainly was three great wishes! That Europe trip made me curious, since I’m a travel freak. Where were you?
What a fantastic story. I’m so happy for you that your wishes came true. I will keep you friend in my thoughts – I know what it is like to hurt on a friend’s behalf, because there is nothing else you can do.
This Christmas will be so special for you! Congratulations!
Thank you all
Angelika – I know why most people would say that, and I would say the same if I didn’t have the skinny on some of the details.
Skittles – Congratulations! My cousin is expecting twins (girl and a boy). Child number three and four for her. Her due date is the end of January, but twins always come a little early. We don’t have our tree up yet. I think we’ll do that this weekend. Kurt’s mom is one of the half dozen people that live in the upper peninsula and his sister and niece live in Holland MI.
Lifecruiser – We traveled all around the northern part of Spain. It was awesome! Kurt even surprised me with reservations to stay in a REAL castle that had been converted to a hotel. That was truly awesome. I hope to go to Europe again someday. Maybe Italy next time.
