OMG...I am not going to quote it so you can delete it after we have all had a look.

DREW LOOKS FABULOUS, what a living doll.

btw..that is an awesome SANTA.

there's nothing wrong with that Paige. I hope we can have kids....I worry...you never know. And I am getting close to 30. And I have had my share of female problems.

I was 32 when I got pregnant with Lucas. We'd tried for 5 years.

Thanks guys, I'm just looking at the nursery upstairs (we REALLY were trying) and all the things I kept, and I have to give it away now. It makes me very sad.

Bonnie, glad to see you. Seems like forever

Good evening friends!

DH and I went to lunch and then to the movies to see The Holiday. I LOVED that movie! I want to see it again! Then we went shopping. We were gone for over 8 hours!! Yikes! But we got some Christmas shopping done for the girls, which is nice.

What's new?

BON TON is IN the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!

I think if I went through that I would be scared to try again too.

I just never really had the urge to have another....so it really didn't affect us too much. Plus, I am ready to go full force with my career in Sept, so I can't even imagine having a baby.

Kar....Santa lives right down the street from us. He takes the whole month of the Dec off from work to be Santa. He is the best Santa I have ever seen....both in looks and personality. He remembers all of the kids and talks about things that are important to them. He's dropping by on the 24th with his elf. Drew about pooped himself last year when he saw Santa standing on the porch!

I always said I didn't want kids...so not having any was okay.

And here I am 40, with some "health issues", but newly married, and thinking it would be nice to add another to our family...but I don't think it's going to happen. Some days I'm okay with that, and others...well...

I know it's not the same as what you are feeling, but I think I can sort of understand that "loss"...

That has to be really hard, Paige.

Sounds about the same to me...............except I always feel bad when I say it to people without kids, because I have two. It was the same way trying with Lucas, because I had Nick already.........I was ostracized at the infertility boards.

OMG...you have to video tape that, Trisha...we did that one year in my parents town and Chris was 3 and (no Mike yet) and we paid to have this SANTA (money went to a fundraiser) come by with a TOY we had given the SANTA and Chris absolutely undeniable was SPEECHLESS and my ENTIRE family was there, many relatives and Chris was the ONLY child and they had as much fun IF NOT MORE with Santa stopping by.

I think wanting them and not being able to have them would be just as hard whether you had one or none.

ITA, NIC NIC....ITA!

Okay, you guys are the best.............but I have to say now with all the hugs, I want to tell you the rest.

We were going to adopt when the kids were older. We had application, home study, everything done in between Nick and Lucas, and they would come by, ask Nick if he'd share his toys and such. It disrupted him so each time, and we came close with 3 little boys...........that we pulled our application and went on the fertility bandwagon. We got lucky. But we still had held our adoption dream and were still planning to pursue it..........when the kids were older, even after we'd gotten pregnant.

Anyway, that dream got shot down too.

So much of what I thought my life would be is different now.

Sorry.............now I'm sad.

We do video tape it. We put the present out on the porch, and Santa brings it in for Drew. Santa came to our house every year for probably 15 years when I was growing up. It's one of my best childhood memories.

Absolutely.

Bonnie, glad to see you. Seems like forever

I know, NIchole! I was really missing you yesterday and wishing you were around. Today....not so much. I'm glad you're here though!

I got PSP's post card today. Sounds like she's having a great time!

My computer is acting VERY dumb, so in case of a sudden departure on my part, you'll know why.

Trisha! Your pics are adorable!! What a cutie that Drew is!

Karen! You rock my world, as usual.

Paige and Denise, congrats on getting the first task completed! Good luck!!

don't feel bad about saying anything like that to me...I made a choice on this, based on being single for so many years. Only recently have I really started thinking about the future...and a child. But I also have thought that I can always adopt. I know it's not the same for someone who has actually given birth, but I think, for me, it could be.
