2012 - How was it for you?

[bumblebeexo]

2012 has been a great year, mainly! It has had it's moments, but it's still my best year yet.

- OH got a new job, that was much better than his old one.
- Me and OH got our own house! (No rent or mortgage as it was passed on from family)
- My daughter was born!

The only bad part really is me nearly dying after having LO due to blood loss. I needed 4 pints of blood! And then I ended up back in the hospital bleeding again a few weeks after. But other than that, 2012 has been good to me!
Roll on 2013! Me and OH are getting married, hopefully start ttc #2 and we're going on holiday to Majorca!

Its been a bittersweet year for us. Found out end of Jan that we had miscarried. Then hubby's grandfather (who raised him) was diagnosed with prostate cancer. We found out in April we were pregnant again, then in May hubby's grandfather died. A few months later my nan's boyfriend (who she had been with for 14 years) also died (heart attack). Hubby's grandmother is also very ill and getting worse each day.

Hopefully baby will be here before the end of the year though so we can start 2013 as a family.

2012 has been great, I had my daughter in February and the time has just flown by since then. I'm more confident than I've been but still a work in progress. The only bad thing is the amount of weight I've put on, I'm very unhappy with my body now but for 2013 I aim to lose 2.5 stone

A mixed bag for us. Made amends with OH's parents in January and they re-entered our lives...proved to be a mistake and we are ending the year on bad terms again. My godmother was diagnosed with stomach cancer but is on the mend. In April my gorgeous boy turned 2, I gave birth to my beautiful second son in July and have had a magical time with him. Both my boys have gone from strength to strength. We got a new car, moved into a lovely big house which suits us down to the ground. We have a few financial issues which have arisen lately but hope they'll be resolved early next year. Can't wait for Christmas with my perfect family and hope 2013 is a good one.

All in all it's been an ok year. I and my extended family have had a lot of major traumas but hey no-one said life was going to be easy. We have used the traumas that we have gone through and are still going through as learning curves.

I am hoping that 2013 will be the year that my lo starts to talk and also the year that my sister really gets back on her feet after an awful 14 months.

It's been so so!

Start of the year my Mum was recovering from cancer so was a bit of a blur.

By late Spring my stepsister got married which was a big thing.

Summer time my stepsister had my nephew. Then we had the Olympics and Jubillee, I was extremely busy at work.

Autumn came and I was a bridesmaid for the very first time and loved every minute!

Winter's here, my daughter is a full on chatting, singing and dancing 2 year old who makes me laugh every second.

Christmas isn't something I look forward to for many reasons and just want it out of the way now but not long until 2013 when we have a lot more to look forward to! This year has been so busy work wise for hubby and I.

2013 should hopefully hold:

Molly's first trip to Disneyland Paris in March (booked, confirmed and planning underway)
Holiday at my Aunt's Summer house in Dorset (need to confirm this)
Hubby having a new contract come Easter time (all dependent on him)
Applying for Molly's school in September

And we'll deal with whatever else comes our way. Winning the lottery would be nice..

An amazing, hard, difficult and wonderful year all rolled into one. Had to make alot of decsions, which were very hard to but ultimatley were the right ones. Really amazed how quick my youngest took to potty training. This year the biggest thing was learning who my friends were and the AMAZING support me and my two girls have had from friends and family. The biggest achievements for my girls were; Eva's confidence has gone through the roof and so proud of how amazingly inteligent she is.. is able to write and do basic math already and shes just 3! Layla, her achievemebt s this year include potty trained in the toliet within ten days, starting playgroup and again has shone threw on confidence and intelligence. Had a role in her first school nativity and remembered all the songs and words. So proud of her. For me this year, the biggest thing is moving on..i learnt this year to really listen to what my daughters need and want to make them happy and secure.. that was a massive change, and to see the difference in them has been amazing, amd reassuring. 2013 will be mine and my daughters year.. onwards and upwards!

when i think about everything that happened this year, there are more negatives than positives but for some reason i still consider it to have been a great year possibly because my state of mind is a lot different from what it has been in past years. i got diagnosed with PCOS and my OH with crap sperm (that's the technical term ) which means it looks like we will have to resort to IVF, i've been having fertility treatment which made me feel like shit physically and emotionally, my poor mum was diagnosed with diabetes and they've now found something in her breasts, my beloved stepdad had a stroke a few weeks ago, both my OH and i spent the last few months at risk of redundancy and although he's getting to keep his job, i'm losing mine...

BUT

i went back to uni doing a course that i love and haven't had anything less than an A so far, i realised that having children isn't the be all and end all and developed a bit of patience, finding out i have PCOS means i changed my diet and dropped a dress size from a 12 to a 10 and i feel healthier than i ever have, my stepdad made a full recovery and i got a better job with higher wages within two weeks of finding out about redundancy so it definitely feels like it has been a good one

hoping for health and happiness for all of my loved ones in 2013

Not read everyone's posts yet but I will do. It's been a rollercoaster for me.
Good points:
Finding out I was pregnant and giving birth to my beautiful baby girl.
Buying my brother out of the house so I'm the sole owner.
Loving my job.
Having amazing friends.
Not so good points:
Falling out with dad and step mum whilst pregnant, we've made friends now.
Finding out mil has breast cancer.
Mum and oh falling out so we won't be spending christmas as a big family.
Oh's depression getting the better of him a few times.
Here's to a happier, healthier 2013! xx

Up and down for us, but it seems to be on the up

It's been shit. Well and truly. I got pneumonia back in May. My car's spent more time off the road than on. Lost quite a few good friends.

Only good parts are my LO & OH.

[tasha41]

Bloody awful.

Spoiler

Started it off with a car accident and surgery February 10. Had 7 months of physio and a second surgery November 28. It's been painful, frustrating, stressed and really lonely. Have fought with OH a lot, he's not a supportive person really.. but having insurance claims/a lawsuit and a PI checking in now.. the garbage I've been through with work too as it was a co-worker driving...

Also lost my grandfather about 10 days after the accident which was tough (first grandparent to pass). I'm glad he's at peace though.

 

[Jaysmummy]

Not too bad for me personally. Have birth to my lovely boy, moved into a gorgeous house and me and OH are pretty good. Finances are a but Ricky but hopefully by this time next year we will be better.

But for so many if my friends it's been sad. Literally been the year if death

A friend had a still born another had a miscarriage. A lady committed suicide leaving 2 young boys. And 2 more funerals.

Hope 2013 is better for everyone

 

[Tegans Mama]

It's been an excellent year for us blah blah blahhhh

I'm so glad Sweetie x

Actually a lot of "bad" stuff has happened this year if I think about it. I've had pneumonia last month, my brother was in a very serious motorbike accident just eight weeks or so ago. But, I got better. And my brother is out of hospital with VERY little to show for his adventures, a problematic wrist and a dodgy short term memory, but it's amazing that he's even alive.

Miserable

I had high hopes that 2012 would be so much better than 2011.

booked our wedding in Jan, a week later OH found out he was going to be made redundant. he was made redundant twice but luckily wasn't out of work. finances are worse, we lost the car, my dog started collapsing and has been to the vets several times, costing us a fortune and making me heartbroken and paranoid to leave him. changes happened within my job and i eventually quit, my course that i spent a fortune on all fell through because of several problems i had with the company and/or finances, it was a waste of hard work, 4am bedtimes and lost loas of money on it.

we got married and it wasn't the way i wanted and i was gutted, our honeymoon wasn't perfect and i'm full of regret. my reception was taken over and ruined, my wedding photos got lost in the post so i feel like i can't get closure from the day and move on or look at it more positively.

someone i knew died, the only semi family member i had(due to others not talking to me since i stopped handing over money/gifts) turned into a complete bitch, so now i don't really have any one. no social life/friends/family, no money to spend on my house(we've never managed to furnish it the way we want) no money for us to buy things or go out. our neighbours are difficult and there are several other things that were my focus in life, my motivation or reasons to get up in the morning that turned out badly or change and have left me feeling 'bruised'.

i pray next year is better and i'm grateful for it not being worse. i'm not homeless, my child wasn't abducted or loved one not killed/ill/hurt, (or many other heartbreaking things) i have my health, my husband, my pets, i can pay my bills, have food to eat and have you guys to talk to on here

Good things:
Left FOB
Met my OH
Found some really good friends who care about me

Bad things:
Had some really bad things happen with Maria in regards to custody
Was accused of child abuse and my poor baby was put through all kinds of examinations
3 people close to me died, one of them just a young child and one a father leaving a child behind and the last one a young girl just reaching adulthood

I hope in the next year that my custody case will conclude in a positive way and things can start to settle down with Maria. I hope to start TTC with my OH if I still feel ready when the time comes. I hope to be able to cooperate with FOB instead of argue all the time and do together whats best for Maria.
