Spinning just checking in to see how you are keeping on the off chance you read this? I am sure things are very hard for you at the moment but wanted to let you know you and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you are taking care of each other.

I wrote back and it deleted my message.
thanks. sometimes its hard to be on here and other times i just know I have crappy luck and it doesn't make me less happy for anyone else.

right now I am just trying to be there for my kids and not sit holed up in our room all depressed.

I know that the first thing DS1 said to DH when he told him the baby girl was sick again was "do we have to leave mommy alone in the room again now?" and I don't want it to be like that. The past year of both of their lives I've been either sick from pregnancy or recovering from stillbirth/mc or depressed.

This time around I am looking much more at the positive side. We could have found out much later as trisomy 13 babies usually do make it later, we could have ended up with a very very sick baby (and with all the issues ours had) probably suffered for a couple hours in the nicu and in my opinion ended up with harder decisions as to do we prolong the life or not. The dr's are finally admitting the other baby was not a fluke. And theres something going on. And it means that we can go HT (With ALL of my families support) which means I can get my girl and ensure this wouldn't happen again.

I am waiting for the amnio results.
They are supposed to be today at lunch time they said. ugh

Spinning so sorry for you but I admire your strength so much and hope that you manage to have an good christmas with your boys and husband. It sounds like you have a good man and two wonderful boys there. I don't really know what to say to you about the results but I am sorry you have to wait for them and go through all of this at all.

Ok ladies. As much as it hurts, I think we need to move forward with this thread.

A question for you...if you celebrate Christmas, are you done shopping for it? I'm running around like a mad lady trying to tie up the loose ends. Any gift in particular that your kids want this year?
My sons wants ipod touch's and my dd wants a nintendo ds. I'm trying to stay excited because I do love Christmas. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. For starters, I'm grateful to be due around the same time as all of you lovely ladies. I enjoy you all and hope you have a wonderful holiday, and happy, healthy New Year!!

We're done shopping. DH is pretty bummed because our finances took a pretty big hit this year but I keep reminding at least he still has his job, his friend/co-worker wasn't as lucky. It's not all about presents anyway and we have a lot to be grateful for. The boys really just wanted Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and we have it waiting for them. Some clothes and a few educational books for DS3.

I hope 2013 brings peace, joy and love to all of you! xxx

I've only just started shopping today! Have had this horrible sickness bug for three days thank god it seems to have gone today!!

I got my older 2 the new Nintendo wii console thing to share, but super stuck on what to get ds3 he has so many toys already! I've also picked up a few games that they can all play together arrgh so stuck! x

For the most part we're done shopping. I just need to get some odds and ends and stocking stuffers. I hate the end of my shopping because it just makes me feels like I need more and never have enough, then I'm buying just to buy. Retailers love me. My older son asked for the new Call of Duty, his drivers permit and a few other things. My middle son just wants motorcycle gear. And the three year old... Well, he basically wants everything on every commercial.

We bought a new house last year and financially we're pretty strapped because we're putting in a backyard right now. I can't wait until the house is done!!

I am so thankful for all of you lovely ladies as well. I'm so happy I found this dd thread and looking forward to a happy and healthy New Year for us all.

Another here who is nearly finished shopping. I have a few bit to get for my Grandad and dh's Nana but thatis about it. All the family and the Santa stuff is done. I love finishing it all off, getting the pressies wrapped and cards done and the having the presents distributed to all. We will be spending Saturday going around to all the family members delivering their gifts, Sunday going to the Santa Village with the boys and Monday relaxing and doing whatever they want to do before an early night. Finished up work tomorrow until the 8th January and dh is taking the same time so should be a good break for us.

I am going to pick up my lay-by this morning, i cant even really remember what i got, it was a trolly full of stuff. All 3 girls wanted a Furby but they were sold out at the time so i got them a Fur Real Pet each. Lots of Barbie stuff, dress ups and duplo, some kids make up and jewelry. I am looking forward to next christmas when i will be able to get some boys toys too.
