No genetic little one for me, but that's OK. <BR/><BR/>I will second Kami's comment, my mother-in-law worked in the IF clinic of the stars - simply put, there are a lot of hollywood babies out here that would not be here without donor eggs or other assistance. Let them deny it all they want. :)<BR/><BR/>Again, fingers crossed you get the most wonderful Christmas gift of all - a healthy, full-term pregnancy and wonderful little one.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425754971197103642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954052930662185857.post-10488052882051412332008-12-04T17:27:00.000-05:002008-12-04T17:27:00.000-05:00Wishing you luck this cycle.

I am so sorry for your pain, and the grief you are still working through.<BR/><BR/>While I am pleased to be able to send out (finally) my own photo of our little girl this year, I am still apprehensive about receiving photo cards from the "Pancake Makers" of the bunch (what I call the people who make babies as easily as they are making pancakes). It pisses me off, sorry!<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, we don't have a good photo of the three of us, so I just went with a photo of Lil Pumpkin coming down a playground slide with a giant smile on her face.<BR/><BR/>The photo cards I am most weary of receiving are the ones of the chicks hugging their pregnant belly, or with a bow wrapped around it. Ugh. Cause it'll never be me. I don't WANT that - not anymore (nope, we will add any additional kids via adoption). But it's a reminder of my 3 own 3 losses, and of feelings I will never get to have.<BR/><BR/>HUGS. Just wanted to validate YOUR feelings.<BR/><BR/>(p.s. i'd be jealous of how much fun you look like you were having in the photo you have described!!!)<BR/><BR/>(p.s.s. during my pre-parent years I fantasize about sending the Pancake Makers a card of hubby and I sleeping in bed, perfectly styled, with the clock in the background reading 12:30 p.m. or something luxurious like that - just to piss 'em off!)Ms. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734867984972785143noreply@blogger.com
