I Heart Christmas


I love Christmas. I was thinking today how everyone's spirits are up and love really is in the air around this time. Everyone is wishing others a Merry Christmas, where otherwise maybe nothing would be said. The heart is just filled with love for your family and friends whom you share a life with.
AND, the movies!! I love movies! There is always good ones on the TV, Christmas ones and non-Christmas ones. One of the best is A Christmas Story. It is hilarious. I think I know all the lines to the movie, and it still is funny to me. I watched White Christmas today too--such a good one. I always like the dancing in that movie. It was a great day today just lounging around with JJ, loving life. I am trying to not think about the fact that I have to work tomorrow on Christmas Day. Yuck. But the next day my family will celebrate Christmas, and I am really looking forward to that.
Today I am 8 weeks pregnant. I still can't believe it (even though the nausea reminds me daily!) Every year at Christmas I have wondered if I will have a baby by next Christmas, and now I know I will. It is so wonderful. I am so grateful to God for this miracle, a Christmas miracle!

    Savor the nausea, every second of it.

    I would have killed to have actually experienced my pregnancy but instead had to rely on a 3rd party and her loving DH to help me live my dreams (albeit, at 47) of becoming a mother.

    document every second, every belly shot, every thing on video and still camera.

    That's my wisdom.

    Hugs and congrats. this time next year will be amazing foryou

  3. I too know all the lines to A Christmas Story and yet I still laugh at the movie. It is a classic.

    Have a very Merry Christmas and just think your little miracle will be here next year to enjoy it with you.

  5. I love that your Christmases from now on will have a child involved! I am only a few days ahead of you in pregnancy and feel the same way. Our own little miracles are growing and changing every day. Hard to believe!
