Anyone else just feeling blessed to have kids this christmas?

[oopsadaisyme]

Oh, I'm just so excited for them it's ridiculous- my Ds2 is 4, and the first year he's really got into the FC vibe!

We've has a few changes over the past month, but pressies sorted, turkey ready to go, and I think I'm more excited for them to open their pressies than they are to get them!

My Ds1 is nearly 11. got a bit upset today because he hasn't got me a pressie, bless him! Told him, need a big cuddle, and a go on whatever game santa brings, which he laughed at, then said, 'alright muv, but I'll beat you at any game'!

Blessed x

oops Merry Christmas to you and your family

I have my two DC home for Christmas, with DDs BF and gorgeous GS. It's lovely to have everyone here. We've had the first glass of champagne and slice of Christmas cake.

No! My two are tearing strips off each other and i'm tearing my vocal chords trying to put an end to it. Santa's bringing me a foolproof parenting manual. Or two cages.

Me too!

I have 3 DS's. Im counting this Christmas as DS3s first Xmas as he was only 8 days old last year.

Ds1 and 2 can't wait! Think I'm more excited though. I keep randomly dancing round the house singing "Santas coming toniiiiiight!"

I'll be jumping on their beds at 6am telling them to get up because "he's been"

My boys make Christmas for me. It just wouldn't be Christmas without them

My DS is 14 and DD is 11.6

DS was 18 days old at the Millenium Christmas and every Christmas has been lovely since they were born.

(Though they were a bit about London on Saturday. we went to Kew and OBVIOUSLY I picked a day it was peeing with rain on purpose. Yes I can predict the weather months ahead. )

My DD is out with friends (it's very quiet here) DH is Zzzzzzzzzzzzz, DS is X-Boxing.

I'm multi-tasking- cooking supper, watching Emmerdale Catch-Up, doing washing and MNetting

And @ "muv". My DS calls me "Muvver"

No kids yet but I'm 34 weeks pregnant so feeling very blessed. Last Xmas after two years of trying my period started on Xmas day in a painful and heavy fashion, so I was really upset.

So you're right, I do feel really blessed even if baby isn't here just yet.

Yes, all three of mine are hurling round in spider man jammies, all matching as they requested, fighting evil and eating chocolate for dinner.

I love my sons and daughter so much, I feel truly blessed. And dh is tidying, I am amazed as he rarely does but I love him too!

Your yep, I'm pretty sure my two may enter that realm shortly come bedtime, so this post may change haha!
chottie a very merry christmas to you and yours also! x

Yes i really do feel blessed having my 2 dcs dp and dm and other family i wont sleep tonight with excitment i never do on xmas eve we r really big on xmas we push the boat out i love it. Merry xmas to you and your family

Feeling very excited and blessed here , dd2 is 7 but this is the first year she has not been petrified of Christmas and father Christmas, she has ASD and this is the first year her understanding and language skills have been advanced enough to be able to discus Christmas . She's very excited and is about to find some carrots for the reindeer, a mince pie and drink of milk for father Christmas , I feel blessed that she has come so far that she can now enjoy Christmas and can talk about it.

Hope you all have a great Christmas xxxx

70isa my Ds2 getting older by the minute, love he calls me 'Muv', glad you got that ! xx

sofa 'angrybirds star wars' pj's all round here, no DH this year, he's gone, but we going to have a fab one!

(btw, left xmas food shopping till today (eek), and got a £50 turkey the size of the house for 20 quid from tesco, just got there as they reducing haha, may sound sad, but cant wait to get up and cook, my first Turkey!!!)

Haven't been lucky in the fertility stakes.
But my 3 beautiful nephews (10,7&1) are what christmas is all about.
Perhaps one day I will have a dc of my own for christmas and the rest of the year too!

This is DS' first Christmas - he is 11 months old and loving all the lights, decorations etc. Today we made mince pies and walked around u'd neighbourhood delivering cards. Simple pleasures. I am ridiculously excited about tomorrow!

Yep very blessed.
I haven't asked for anything of dh and vice versa.

Ds1 has had a few close encounters with as much as I hate to say death.
Hes got multiple health issues and is fed via a tube in his tummy. Hes only just getting the jist of Christmas hes 3.
Ds2 is 5months and we had to call an ambulance as he went blue after a coughing fit caused by bronchiolitis.

So yep they are the best things I could ever ask for.

Duchess Sending you a lot of love this xmas, I'm sure you will x

Marne how lovely, enjoy this year, all good things to you x

isitme my god, what a rough time, hope you all have a lovely christmas and lots of love xx

I will never forget the year I spent Christmas miscarrying (very early days but still rather horrid). This is the first year DD has properly visited Father Christmas and asked for what she wanted. I have a house full of pressies and food and family popping over tomorrow as well. Life is good!!

Incredibly lucky. DC 1 - there was a time when I thought I'd be spending my last Christmas with them

DC2 - this time last year I'd been told we'd lost her...she's 6 months old now.

Very blessed.

I am.

My DH is in the RAF and is away for Christmas so I am bit sad. I have 2 wonderful boys (19 and 17 today). Last night I was in bed and DS1 was lying at the side of me. I asked him if he was excited about Christmas, he said "I'm just really excited to give you your present mum, you're gonna love it!"

From little hints and clues they have given me, I think they have got me Robbie Williams tickets. I will actually cry if they have.

They've been so good whilst their dad has been away, they don't need to give me presents.

After years of infertility, I finally have 2 DCs. My 7 year old DS is really excited. 11 month old DD has absolutely no idea what's going on but I'm sure she'll enjoy playing with the paper. I'm grinning just thinking about it

omg.... when I started this thread was not prepared for the responses given -

How incredibly brave and wonderful you all are x

A very happy christmas to everyone, and loads of love x

Also spent a year fearing I may lose my DS. Kids are precious. Tomorrow when it is manic crazy, the turkey won't fit in the oven etc just smile, kiss your children and tell them you love them. Priceless!

My DDs are all in their 20's and DD1 is married but they are all here this year including my son in law and I'm enjoying having them.

Yes, feeling very blessed. Have had a lovely afternoon with them. A few beers in the local and then to church for christingle and back home for tea. Kids have been fabulous.

Also our wonderful friends have just become parents for the first time after 7 attempts at IVF. So feeling very emotional and happy.
