Brad flies in Christmas afternoon. I am not sure if we'll open gifts that night or the next day. Any ideas? My boys are the most patient of souls, but I want Brad to be there. He only gets to stay until Sunday. Wish it were longer, but I'll take what I can get!

Oh goodness Melisa! Not long at all!! I'd say open gifts the next day. There is something exciting about waking up to gifts! The kids don't have to know that Christmas is on the 25th and not the 26th :) We ran into a bit of a pickle with prices, so we are taking the train to MI. We leave Rochester 11pm Christmas Eve, and arrive 10am Christmas day! We are just pretending the 27th is Christmas eve, and the 28th Christmas day! We have to do all our shopping in MI, so we are going to hit the sales! Luckily MM is too young to know the difference :)

Jenny, what a great way to save on Christmas!

We're heading down to Williamsburg, VA to spend Christmas Eve & Day with Richard's youngest sister, then continuing on to Charlotte, NC, where another sister & her family live. It will be a LOT of time in the car. A LOT of time. Hope we're up for it!

We are celebrating our first Christmas with our two new children. I wonder if they know what's really going on!

On the infertility front, I haven't had a period since the beginning of Oct. I've been trying not to think about the negative pg tests I've been taking, and have decided that I'll take a test on Christmas morning. If I'm pg - that'd be a great Christmas present. If I'm not - there should be enough going on that I'll be okay. I'll keep you posted! Best of luck to you all this baby-making month! :o)

Drugs

What are everyone's thoughts on "fertility" drugs? Have you taken them? Did you have success? Side effects? OR if you haven't tried them yet, will you consider using drugs? How long will you wait before it becomes an option? I'm half tempted to call up my doctor tomorrow and say "Give me the drugs!" I've always been an anti drug person. I'll definitely take them if I have to, but if I can avoid it, then I will (including pain killers). So I'm a bit surprised I'm to this point. I know clomid can have a lot of side effects, and increases the risk of multiples, but I'm getting sick of sitting on my hands. I think my plan is to try one more month of acupuncture and then try some drugs. Today I went to a ward picnic, and a friend of mine came over, and we were chatting and she mentioned that she is 3 1/2 months pregnant. She has a 3 year old and a 6 month old and is already pregnant again. She was going on how this pregnancy was a surprise...

Adoption Questions

By -
We have been seriously considering adoption lately. I guess lately isn't exactly correct since even before we had Margaret we knew we wanted to adopt (regardless of our ability to have children). The thought has come up more frequently the past week and we have begun looking into adoption agencies, costs and criteria. Our main purpose in all of this was to collect information so if we don't get pregnant in the next 6 months-1 year we can move quickly to begin the long process. Today I got the mail and was excited to see February's Ensign. Like normal I rushed home and plopped on the couch to read it. My eyes instantly welled up as I read some of the article title's listed on the front cover... one is about adoption. I slowly made my way through the Ensign to the middle of the issue and read the 8 page article. There are articles written by 4 different people (birthmother, birthfather, biological grandparents and child). The whole time I cried. I am so open to adoption, ...
