Re: Warning...a morbid post
This is not morbid, it's selfless...while many people would waddle in their diagnosis, prognosis...you choose to ne amazingly level-headed for your little one and DH...
So many great ideas for you to eventually show your son later on in life and explain why you did it...

Re: Warning...a morbid post
Deb...I am just so very sorry that you even have to go through this. I wish I had some good ideas to offer you...but, some very good ones have already been mentioned.
IMO you're not being morbid at all...like you said, you're being real and you're a very strong brave woman.
I wish you much luck...

Re: Warning...a morbid post
you can make a scrapbook of your pregnancy and like everyone else said a video/dvd of yourself and you can make one video for when he is born than another video for when he is going to school than another for his sweet sixteen, and one for his wedding day. But i know you will be fine and see this little person grow!

Re: Warning...a morbid post
This is not a morbid post at all. Its more like a touching, heartfelt and inspirational post. 
I admire your strength, your ideas, and all that you have done and are doing for your family, being so strong at a time like this.
Youre an amazing woman. They are so lucky to have you in their lives, and I know they will have you in their lives for much much longer

Re: Warning...a morbid post

I saw on Oprah a few years back a woman who had terminal cancer had made a bunch of videos for her daughter. Advice she'd wanted to pass along at different stages of life. About playing nice, etc when she was young, progressing up to dating advice and then something for her wedding with a special piece of jewelry she requested the daughter wear.
That took her many months, since your timeframe is shorter, what about letters for different big events, just in case? Like the first day of kindergarten, graduating high school, college, wedding, etc.
I saw this too and this is a wonderful idea.
I think the tape is the most important. I lost my mother when I was eight. She was from Scotland and spoke with a thick accent but I don't remember her voice, her posture, any faces she made, her smile. That is so much of what makes up a persons' personality.
And, if all goes well, you can still show them to him later and say, "Look, Mommy was sick when I was pregnant with you and I was thinking about what I really wanted to remember to teach you so I made these tapes. Want to see what I was like back then."

Re: Warning...a morbid post
You are very inspirational. Your strength is amazing. I wish you the best and I am sure that it will all work out.
I think the letters would be great. You could have a seperate one for all the big moments your son will go through in his life.

I agree 100%. I sooooo missed my mom on my wedding day. I would have loved to have known what she thought of the day, any martial advice she had for me...
Deb,
I commend you on your spirit, your determination and your take charge attitude considering your situation. So many people might not be realistic (one way or another) and/or just crawl up into a ball and not know what to do. One day at a time.

Re: Warning...a morbid post
OK, well now that I'm bawling, I just want to say that I think the letters are a wonderful idea, and I'd also definately do a video.
It's one thing to read words, but for him to actually be able to see you and hear what you sound like, your mannerisms, etc would be a true gift.
You are in my prayers every day. You are a strong, brave woman who WILL pull through this

Re: Warning...a morbid post
I think what you are doing is wonderful. I would def add some preggo pics of yourself. My mom passed away when Iwas 13 andwhat I would do to have a letter from her. I started writing my DD letters just in case something happens. I'm writing ones for graduation, wedding, baby, etc.
You are going to be okay, you are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

I like the letters, I think that's great. What about cards for future birthdays and holidays?
I love this idea. I also think videos would be great. Maybe several, some just reading children's books so you can read to him as he grows up.

Re: Warning...a morbid post
I just wanted to add that I think you are an incredible person for being so "real" and for thinking of things to do for others. I also saw the Oprah episode and was extremely touched by the videos that woman made for her daughter so I agree with the ladies that videos would be great and the card idea is fabulous as well. You will be in my prayers
Edited for spelling
