Christmas Baby

No we're not pregnant yet. We still have a couple days before we test but I was just sitting here thinking , so I decided to blog my thoughts for a little support. Last year at Christmas time I remember talking to Greg about the fact that it would probably be our last Christmas without a baby. The hope was to be pregnant rather soon after Christmas and by this time we would have a beautiful little baby in our arms. Things obviously just didn't happen that way and today in particular I find my heart aching for the baby that I thought we would have by now. I was ready to share all the wonderful traditions we want to start as a family with our baby and this year I find it a little hard to be in the Christmas mood. We didn't get a tree because I wanted to wait until we have a little one who could appreciate it, and while I know a baby wouldn't appreciate the tree, one day when we tell him or her about it, they would appreciate and it would be the beginning of many Christmas traditions to come. I guess we will have to wait til next Christmas to begin some of these traditions but for this Christmas I will remember to be grateful for the baby our Lord gave us on Christmas day, the baby that changed the world... Baby Jesus.
