Getting Pregnant

There’s a bare corner in our living room where a Christmas tree should stand. We didn’t bring one with us when we migrated two years ago, and since then I’ve always said that since Christmas, for us, is really about kids, then we won’t buy a Christmas tree until we actually have kids.

This will be the second Christmas when we felt “sure” we’d already have a child, or at least one on the way. That makes it a little bit of a sad time of year; especially when so many of our friends around us are enjoying their first real “family” Christmas with their first babies, and my first nephew or niece is due to be born in a few weeks.

Of course, we’re always trying to think positive and hope that next Christmas, we might be able to get that Christmas tree, or at least anticipate the arrival of a child in the near future. You never know what the next year holds, so we’ll just be keeping our fingers crossed. Merry Christmas!
