Good Riddens 2008
This has been a terrible year for me.. for a lot of us. I'm not going to be sad to see it go. Except for a few things.. a few things I did learn/experience this year that I wouldn't trade for the world. For instance, Jessica's 30th birthday, which was so much fun! And then getting pregnant, the first time. Rob's face when I told him I was pregnant... Our 1 year anniversary, and biting into a pearl from an oyster. Becky moving to Florida.. Our trip to the Keys with awesome friends...
After June, it all started to go downhill. The miscarriage, my dad's heart attack.. but one thing it did teach me, or show me.. is that I have the most wonderful understanding friends in the world. AND of course, that my relationship with Rob is solid.
My 30th birthday totally blew.. for me- physically. The only reason it stayed balanced was because of course, my friends and family were there for me. I had a head cold, my first cycle since my surgery (terrible!!), I got a piece of lime deposit wedged into my eyeball, I kicked Rob in the balls because he was trying to get the thing out of my eye and happened to have a roach on his shirt.. scared the crap out of me...
Then football season.. YUCK! The games were fun- but the Jags of 2008 I would like to forget! Again, thankfully my friends were with us during those tough games :)
THEN I got pregnant again.. which is what I was praying for.. and things started to look up! We got to see all of Rob's family in Jersey on the company dime.. which was nice. We got to share our pregnant news in person with his grandparents. My brother came down for a short visit in October too.
Everything was looking up, until I became deathly ill from the morning sickness. And my back started hurting.. and my fears of another miscarriage started taking over. As soon as the morning sickness started to fade, I was hit with the stomach bug. I began to think I was cursed.

Then on December 12th, I had an NT Scan. I saw our baby moving around.. and it actually looked like a baby and not a cashew! I got really excited, I was nearly out of the first trimester and all of my fears of miscarriage started to fade.
Christmas was amazing. I got to spend time with all of my friends and family. It was also the first Christmas in 11 years my mom, dad, brother and I were all TOGETHER. It was really special for me.
So here I am, 3 days left of 2008, 16 weeks pregnant, and I have the bestest friends and family in the world. Like I said, I'm happy to say goodbye to 2008, but mainly because I am looking forward to 2009! In 5 1/2 months, I will get to meet my baby. My life will change forever. And I'm so looking forward to it. So thank you 2008, for showing me how powerful love really is. Ok, that was gay (but not in a bad way gay), but I'm sappy right now.
