2012 In Review

With Gratitude, Year in Review
What a year we had! 2012 was much better than 2011 for my family!
Now to remember all of the highlights!
JANUARY
We started the year off at Wes's boss's house with lots of fireworks!


On January 7th, I took this test:



Wes and I went to the zoo to play with my new camera


Celebrated my Dad's birthday and had to keep my pregnancy a secret!
Had mine and Wes's birthday dinner at my parents house and Tommie and Dwight came too...finally told our family our big secret:
FEBRUARY
My birthday!
Feeling yucky all month! Counting down the days until my second trimester.
Finally hearing that wonderful heartbeat!

MARCH
We told everyone about Baby Bowling!

Raising money for Relay for Life

Starting to clean out our spare room to make our nursery

Don't have many pictures from February and March because I was just not in the mood..so now I don't really remember what all we did!

APRIL
One of my best friends got married on April 21st, so we had showers and parties in April:





Went to Adults night out at the Children's Museum


Got to see my buddy Kasen



Celebrated Jodi on April 20th...one year since she was diagnosed.
Finally found out what our sweet baby would be...a GIRL!!


MAY
Jodi's Birthday and Relay for Life on May 4th. I went to the survivors dinner with her too :)






Felt like I was living at the doctors office in May because I was having blood pressure issues..finally got that under control!

Started buying precious baby girl clothes:


It was time for the summer at the lake too!
Wes and I celebrated 3 years of marriage
