As I write a baby shower card, "enjoy your LAST Christmas before the chaos!" I wonder to myself, could this be MY last Christmas before the chaos? It's strange at this point to project forward to actually picturing a baby in our lives. Is it still possible? Seems IMpossible. Yet here we go, once again. I've always pictured myself with a baby, hell a family, but the stars never seemed to align and year after year, it was just me and Chris, Chris and me. I wonder why I continue to fight this fight. Is it because I'm competitive by nature? Is it because I won't take no for an answer? Is it because I rightfully WANT a family? Is it because I want to prove the universe wrong? Or do I just want a pipsqueak to call my own? I don't really know the answer anymore...all I know is that I want a freakin' pipsqueak.

Beyond words... and so much so I have exhausted all but one option. And so this is it my friends... the last hurrah, if I may be dramatic.

Does anyone read this blog anymore? Well if you do, please send your thoughts in whatever way you wish, for 2011 to be the year that we have a baby to call our own. Please write to this post... send me a little encouragement...I need it.

Happy Holidays to my wonderful family and all of my supportive friends!

Still reading your (infrequent) posts - wish there were more!
You've got the whole world in your corner baby. Good things will come your way in 2011, but always remember to be happy with what you already have and what you have achieved.
May the waiting be over and the chaos begin!
Love P

I was JUST looking at the holiday card you and CMac sent (thanks!) and thinking...next year it will be a photo card with the two of you holding a bundle of baby. Foshizzle. I'm feeling it. Crossing everything for you in 2011. Merry Christmas, dollface.
