In spite of all the craziness in life, the craziness of the holidays, I need to take a minute to recognize how truly bless I am, and we are, as a family.
This blog was started to chronicle TTC our first child together. Girly Girl was a surprise in a previous relationship - but the best surprise one could ever ask for. I know we were blessed in that it did not take AS long as it has taken some others, but that didn't make each negative pregnancy test any easier.
Little Man was born and we were overjoyed. Thing is, he was supposed to have a twin so that first Christmas was so hard. It was amazing to see him watch the lights and all but my heart continuously looked around for that other baby. Our "B". Each year has gotten a little easier but the ache is still there.
But I know I'm lucky and blessed - I get to shop for and watch two children enjoy opening presents on Christmas morning. Not every woman gets that. Too many have empty arms and hearts that are just waiting to be filled with the joy that only a child can bring.
So this Christmas when you see a couple without children be extra nice to them and never assume they have chosen to be childless.
