And congratulations on the birth of your daughter.
I got an “A”. It was a mixed year...
1) After 10 years of infertility, miscarriages, surgeries and being told I would never have children, I found out Jan 18 I was pregnant (at 43).
2) High risk pregnancy with Dr appts every week, gestational diabetes and a few scares (blood test results). Dodged every bullet.
3) Being 5 months pregnant and having my late best friends two teenagers for the entire summer (complete with accompanying drama).
4) Being 8 months pregnant and losing my mom (I have posted stories about her over the years here on Freep)to a massive heart attack very suddenly.
5) Giving birth to a beautiful baby girl with a fairly uneventful delivery (no complications).
6) Doubling the size of my farm
7) Having to deal with probate issues etc
8) Having been hospitalized 4 times since September for various conditions
9) Having an amazing husband who is a great daddy and took care of the baby while I was in and out of the hospital.
10) Having to clean up a horrific mess at our Ranch now that my mother is gone and its our house.
Congratulations, belatedly, on your beautiful baby girl! Children are such a blessing. No matter what else, you were given a gift of joy this past year.
And congratulations on the birth of your daughter.
