I had a few spare minutes to finally catch up on everyone elses’ blogs, emails and to write a quick post. We are all still going great. We have had a couple of grizzly days which is a challenge and you just wish they could say, mum i’m hot, or mum i’ve got a tummy pain and it is so hard to know what to do so i just mentally crossed everything off and then just comforted him through it all. Josh is so adorable and we love him so much. I will again try to upload another recent photo.

It is still a very bittersweet time for us though as with the enjoyment comes the reminders of what we truly did miss out on with Luke. Christmas has been avoided for the past two years and this year we decided to allow ourselves to get the tree and decoration out and enjoy our first Christmas with our new son. We found the balls I had made when I was pregnant with Luke…. one “Drew”, one “Cindy” and one “Bubby”. That was his nickname while in my tummy as we didn’t know what we were having and he will always be “Bubby Luke”. While pregnant with Josh, it was just “Baby”or “Little One”. It was hard finding these balls but I just focus on what we have been lucky enough to experience now and that we have been given the opportunity to love another child in the real world just as much as we love our special Angel. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and I will be especially thinking of everyone who are missing their special Angels at this time too.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I know this time is difficult for so many of us. As you say, the happiness and joy in what we have is always going to be lessened by what’s missing.
