Moments of Merriment

[Darcy1996]

Dear all, I’ve not posted in awhile here since our third round failed, but I check in & wanted to say Merry Christmas to you all, I’m so grateful to you all.

Whether you’re hibernating through the holidays, running away from the Great-Aunt that keeps asking when you’ll have kids, avoiding the baby announcements on socials, seeing the younger sibling that seems to have got your % of fertility in the family, or just white knuckling through with gritted teeth, I hope you find peace, some joy & some moments to yourself if that’s what you need.

All the best to all in this TTC space, wherever you’re at in the “journey”. 💜🎄

Hoping you’re having a peaceful Christmas ❤️🎄. Thank you for the lovely message.

We spent it just the two of us and that felt right.

That sounds peaceful & perfect! We’ve had my parents here & mother-in-law, have my niece, brother & SIL tomorrow so braving myself….

thank you Darcy. Xmas just feels strange this year! We had my in laws over for a few days and can’t wait for them to go so I can have some time to myself … I’ve never been so antisocial around Xmas but perhaps the exhaustion and heartbreak just takes it out of us l! Wishing you a merry Xmas and a happy new year lovely… and best of luck for the future xx

[Darcy1996 in reply to Milo2011]

I completely understand, I love my family to bits but my brother & SIL were here with my baby niece today….my mum is a doting grandmother and I found myself wondering if I had a DE baby would it be as loved, and/or would we ever be as lucky, however that child (hopefully 🤞comes). Thankfully my brother doesn’t ask about my news so no questioning came our way….and the busyness & distractions worked a treat.

Hope you got/will get some time out for you, and all the best for New Year 💕

Darcy1996 what a lovely post, you made me smile. I hope you had a lovely Christmas whatever the circumstances. We had a great one in our house and while lamenting my loss that wasn't here to join it with us (November due date, that I lost early and know no one else thought about yesterday!) My near two year old had a great time with his grandparents and I am very lucky to have him with my personal circumstances! Feeling grateful today for him and this forum, you ladies have been my strength on many an occasion this year! Happy Christmas! Xx

[Darcy1996 in reply to Mercury363]

Happy Christmas to you too, and wonderful you had such a great time with your little boy, but I’m so sad to hear of your loss. Hope you found small moments for you 💜
