This time of year is a little bittersweet for me....

I remember wondering if I was pg around this time because my LMP was 3 weeks late, but I had BFN every time I tested, so I called my OB office who sent me for blood work on Christmas Eve day.  We found out later that I was pg, and we were so excited!!  It was so much fun being home with DH and talking about it and going to the store and getting some books and just reveling in the whole thing. 

I am so thankful to being to close to holding and meeting our LO, but its still sad to think about our loss and all the joy we were feeling last Christmas.

I know what you mean.  Last year, the holidays really sucked for us because we were still grieving from our loss.  It's amazing to see how much difference a year can make.

I def. agree.  We found out about BFP #2 last New Years Eve, and our first BFP the year before 2 days before Christmas.  I am hoping this Christmas goes over well and I feel like the positive vibes of family and friends will help.  Whenever I have some doubts about this year, I think about how I will be registering in a month for baby items.  So superficial, but it was something new that I never got far along enough to think about with previous LOs!

I know how you feel. this time last year we were grieving from our loss and the holidays were horrible.

We're in very similar shoes.  Last year, my ultrasound and bloodwork on 12/23 showed that I would miscarry.  It was so hard to keep a smile plastered on my face at Christmas, but didn't want to ruin anything for my daughter, who never knew I was pregnant in the first place.

This year is so exciting, yet I still have this weird worry that something could go wrong on the 23rd.  I know it's completely irrational.

I'm sorry that this year is bittersweet for you, and I hope that the good memories you're create this year and next will help ease the pain.
