Goodbye....

Goodbye to a year and the end of a decade! I decided today I'll end the year off with a big post about both.
My big things with the decade was:
2000, Becoming an adult. Working full time while still in school. Lots of struggles that brought me closer to my now husband.
2001, graduating HS, moving out and getting married. Deciding at the end of that year that we were ditching the birth control and ready for the next big step.
2002, A year of lots of working. Discovering that saying you want to have a baby and stopping birth control doesn't make it happen.
2003, We started off the year by finding out I am infertile. While most of our high school friends were drinking it up and partying, I discovered what clomid was and all the joys that came with that. We found out what real struggle was. Lots of working added in there as well.
2004, I got pregnant! I was told I needed to take a leave from my job or risk preterm labor. I became a stay at home wife/mother and 3 months later I had a baby! I decided I could not leave that little boy for anything and did not go back to work. My life forever changed.
2005, decided we would give #2 a try early. Discovered worse issues than ttc the first time around.
2006, more issue for me. Ended it with an emergency D&C and talk of hysterectomy. Scary year.
2007, found a much better RE and had another D&C. Things were looking good again. Had a big move home.
2008, We decided that our "temporary" arrangement of home would become permanent. Lots of construction and mess. Also finding out that I have PCOS. Having a real answer to what was wrong with me. Ended the year with finding out about the study.
And 2009....
What a year. I can say that I'm glad to see this year over. There was a lot of ups and downs this year. First was the study. Lots can be said about that but I'll keep it short. I am grateful that I got to be apart of it and that we learned a lot from it. I wish I would have been one of the success stories but it just wasn't meant to be.
Another big thing was the gall bladder surgery. While I was freaked about it at first, I'm glad to have that overwith. I feel much better since it was done and looking back, it didn't really disrupt things too much. I have less issues with things now than I did before.
And while on the subject, 2009 made us decide on a much needed break from the medical side of TTC. I discovered the nasty disgusting herbs but they may actually be helping so I'll tough it out. I have hope for 2010.
In 2009, it was a big year for Kristopher too. He discovered he had an opinion and voiced it everywhere with everyone. Ha. He joined T-Ball and started therapy. Things got a lot better. He turned 5 this year. He lost his first tooth. He grew 2 whole sizes in the past year....Overall though, he's come a long way this past year and is doing really great.

Now for 2010. I welcome it. I'm ready. I am hoping for real change and a much better year. I have goals that will take place. I am not calling them resolutions because resolutions suck. I just know that it will be a better year. I'll save my "goals" for another day.
We do not go out and celebrate New Years Eve. Our plans for tonight is to stay home and play the wii and relax where it's safe and we're happy. I hope everyone stays safe tonight!
Goodbye 2009.
