Hey there friends! I am sure not many people are out there reading since most are on vacation, but I had a second, so thought I'd write today.
*If you haven't yet, please go offer some support to Many Many Moons.
*Christmas was all kinds of wonderful. My heart was so full and so grateful, I rocked my little guy longer than I should have Christmas night and kissed his sweet Cheeks too many times and cried big ole tears into his jammies. Best. Christmas. Ever.
*While I got to spend my first Christmas as a mama with my little man, I couldn't stop thinking about my fellow IFers who are still waiting for their little ones. The holidays are so hard when you're waiting to become a parent...another Christmas and New Year's that you thought would be so much different than the last.To all those still waiting for their miracles, I hope with everything I've got that you will get to experience this happiness in 2012.
*I got one present I didn't ask for and wasn't expecting on Christmas morning - the arrival of old Auntie Flo. I have had some spotting post-partum, but this was the first true period I've had since Cheeks. Blergh. I didn't miss tampons, pads or thinking about my not-so-reproductive bits.
*DH, Cheeks, and I are heading up north to Minnesota for New Year's at DH's grandparents with hubs' 'rents. We'll likely be spending New Years' Eve in the guest room at DH's grandparents' retirement community. I just made whatever NYE plans you have sound a whole lot better. You're welcome. Also, not looking forward to the 8 hour drive, but I am looking forward to seeing DH's Dad's side of the family.
*Hubs got a Roku for Christmas from his mom. He is addicted to that thing and spends every moment he's not at work messing with it and trying to find new channels. It's cute but also annoying. I wish I could just leave him with his new toy for an entire weekend so he could get this out of his system.
Hope you all had a good Christmas and have a great New Year's Eve!
I'm glad you had such a lovely Christmas. :-)
ReplyDeleteAww, man. Getting your period on Christmas is like getting a giant chunk of coal in your stocking. Been there. Boooo.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great Christmas, Al! :) Happy new year to you, C and that delectable lil' Cheeks! :)
Sounds like a lovely Christmas. You know, except for the visitor!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! And if you want to feel better about your NYE plans... we are doing nothing... maybe even going to be early.
ReplyDeleteI've got your NYE plans beat! Working a 12 hour night shift in OB! lol Glad you had a merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteStinking AF, her timing really sucks balls. My NYE consists of me alone in a hotel room in Bangkok away from all family and friends, hopefully for a good cause though!!! Have fun at the retirement home!!!
ReplyDeleteUgh, sorry about AF showing up :(.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful Christmas with your little guy!
I'm a freak who doesn't get periods so I actually think it's kinda awesome your body is working again. :) But I totally understand why it sucks in some ways, too!!!
ReplyDeleteSending tons of love to you and sweet Cheeks and hubs this holiday, what a difference a year makes, right?! Lucky lucky lucky us.
xoxooxoxox
I hope your travels are going well! And at least you greeted the new year well rested. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Egg - I'd be mildly pleased to see a period come my way just cause it'd mean things were working. But that pleasure would likely last just a minute or two until I remembered how much periods can suck!
ReplyDeleteGlad your Christmas was so good, and I bet your NYE wasn't half-bad either! Happy 2012!
