2012, Good-bye!

myrtle beach feb.

2012...what a whirlwind of a year! Staying positive and being grateful was the biggest lesson I learned this year. Despite starting the year unemployed and heartbroken of the many fails of trying to get pregnant, I learn to be as positive as I could and reminded myself every day what I'm grateful for. And now at the end, I have a great job and we're having a baby and everyday I wake up with a big smile.

Here are some highlights from each month:

Jan.
-We started the year off with me going back to school. With me out of a job for 7 months, it seemed like the best decision at the time.

Feb.
- I started my chiropractor treatments and I haven't been this pain free in my back in like 10 years.
-Went to Myrtle Beach, SC with some friends for the marathon.

March
-Heck ya! I got an awesome job!
-I decided to drop out of school to focus on trying to get pregnant and on my new job.
-We went to Maine to visit our friends.

April
-We got rid of a bunch of trees in our backyard and planted a garden. The yard is so much brighter now.

good-bye trees, hello garden

May
- Ran a 5k and did great!

June
-We made the decision that IVF was basically our next and only choice.

July
-We started IVF and it went way better than I ever thought it would.
-My niece became a part of our family after months of waiting!
