Hello wonderful ladies. I hope that your holidays were FANTASTIC!!! I am back from the south (real...South Carolina, fake...Florida). I was driving home all day new years eve...by my self. I heard a lot of different djs talking about reflection on 2008 and new hopes for 2009. So, (get ready) this is what I thought about on my 16...did you get that...16 hour drive ALL BY MYSELF!!!! I am so thankful that I have 2 beautiful, VERY happy, and mostly healthy ( both have a genetic disorder NF1 or neurofibromatosis 1 if anyone knows anything about or has the time to look up

). Their disorder has never caused any problems until Gabby (9yrs) had her first and second seizures this year within a 24 hour period. Since then, everything has been fine. I am soooooooooo thankful for that. We lost a baby in October, but we know that we CAN get pregnant. I am thankful for that. My parents retired at 55 and 58 years respectfully. I am so happy for them being young and able to enjoy it. Now, looking to 2009. I have high (maybe too high) hopes for our new prez. My 88 year old grandpa asking me if I REALLY voted for that N..... Reinforced how bounce off the rooftops happy I am. I also have REALLY REALLY REALLY high hopes that I will not only be pregnant, but have a baby in my arms by the end of this year. I know that all of this is out of my hands...However, I am optomistic and feel good about 09 for all of us.....

Heather,

I reflected as well on NYE! It really sucks that you were alone on that drive!!!! I love long roadtrips like that, but only when other people are there! The 16 hours must have felt so much longer!!!!

I can't wait for you to ring in 2010 with a newborn baby in your arms, that is YOURS!

wow thats some drive hunny

i know what neurofibromatosis is as i was a carer for my ex husband who suffers from it. it was not until i was pregnant for the second time i was told there was a risk to my children. luckily tests have come back all clear for them but they are still suspisious of kyle as he has a lot of the things they look for with it. its a hard job looking after someone with it (my ex husbands sister, half sister and dad also have it and i helped with them) so i take my hat off to you girl
welcome home though

xx

Wow, it's good to be so positive. I try to do the same. I'll look forward to you and I, and all of us, having babies' first Christmas 2009.

I would never be able to do 16 hours by myself, I probably could if I didn't drive with my husband being a little chatty cathy in the driver's seat. I always drove from NJ to NC. But wow, you just are a bursts of positivity. That is so great! And I know you are a great mommy and you will be a great mommy to the next one that you will be ringing in 2010 with!
