I have heard many friends say they cannot wait to bid farewell to 2011. I even tried encouraging my always positive husband to find the good that the year brought. While the year did bring several struggles for us (house flood = four months living in a hotel) we did bring one amazing gift into this world, our son. This year has been hard for friends who have struggled with the loss of a loved one, I hope the new year finds them learning how to balance this feeling of loneliness. Friends that have struggled to get pregnant after three years are now are pregnant and while each day has been trying in terms of feeling well I know that 2012 will be their best year yet. I am more than thankful for the relationships I have built and I look forward to more amazing memories to be shared. While I was trying to find the positive in this year I am more than happy to welcome in twenty-twelve!
“Here’s to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here’s to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold.”
Thanks for the comment on my blog! I think your children are adorable! As a FTM, I find it unbelievable how fast they can grow and change. Welcoming my son in 2011 was a blessing but I’m excited to see what 2012 has in store for us. Also, this may be slightly off topic but how do you feel about the age difference between your kids? My husband and I know we want one more and it’s always interesting to see how other moms feel about spacing between babies.
You are so, so welcome Brie! It will go fast, trust me! I had always wanted kids further apart since my sister and I are fifteen months apart. I wanted them to be at least 3-4 years, but when I got preggo by surprise last February I was okay with them being 22 months apart (to the day). While it is a little crazy it’s nice having them so close in age and because of their birthdays they will only be a year apart in school. Payton loves her brother, she may not fully understand a lot and she does get jealous at times it will be easier when she is four and he’s two. You aren’t preggo already, are you?
Thanks for reading and I look forward to reading your new blog. 🙂
