Lisa, I can't believe it. All of the Christmases we cried together and wrote back and forth hoping and praying and begging. And now, finally, it is your last Christmas without little ones. Imagine how absolutely wonderful and happy and precious your 2005 holidays will be! Your house will be a disaster of unwrapped gifts, tissue paper strewn about, and toys with a million pieces all over the place! And you won't care at all because you'll have two little munchkins in their red jammies on Christmas morning. I am so happy that you are finally able to share in this holiday joy.
I can't even wait until you post your birth story and tell us all about the babies. It seems so unreal until they actually arrive and you hold them for the first time. And all those horrible feelings of disappointment and despair from years of IF will just melt away forever, although your heart will never forget. And that is a good thing, because it makes us stronger mommies with deep souls.
Many hugs to you and those babies in the oven this Christmas.
Love,
Karen
