2010 in Review

A quick review of 2010--a little late (my MO now a days).

2010 Accomplishments

I have a two accomplishments that I want to acknowledge. First and foremost, I have little Baby Lo swimming safely in the old ute of mine. It has been a long and winding road to get to this point, but I am getting more and more excited by the day at the prospect of this little guy entering our lives in three months or so.

Another accomplishment is that I think I am finally working toward forgiving myself and my body for all that my family has been through the last few years. Intellectually I know that there is no reason that I need to take "blame" for the shit fest we endured. No one is to blame. It is what it is, and I do believe that we are all stronger for it.


2010 Discovery

The realization that I can and do have now (or the opportunity for) a version of everything I want out of life. This simple little thought still blows my mind.


Favorite 2010 Vacation/Holiday

Hm. There were no vacations for our family this year. IVF sucked all the money out of the vacation fund. Well, it would have had we actually had an official vacation fund. :-)

But I have to say that Christmas this year was the best holiday to date. I love, love, LOVE that the boys finally get the whole gift giving/receiving/Santa thing. It was so much fun to watch them discovery all of the wonder of this time of year.

2010 Regret

Losing so much of the boys' early days because of my fear. So glad I finally figured that out!


Magic Moment in 2010

Seeing that little heartbeat flickering at our first ultrasound. Priceless.


Two 2011 Goals

1) Having a full term baby at the end of March/early April.

2) Continue to seek out and enjoy the beautiful things in life and NOT focus on all that can/might go wrong.
