What were yours?

Here's mine:

In January, an employee and tenant who lived next door did a midnight move on us owing us $10000. That very day, I found out I was pregnant.

That very month, found BnB and met a wonderful bunch of women!

In the coming months, found out how cruel little girls can be to my girl Amanda.

In March found out the little girl I thought I was having was a boy. Had a 16 week ultrasound.

In May, celebrated 10 years with my OH.

In June, Jayden went from being a little boy who dragged his mom into his preschool class to say goodbye and hug her 3 times, to leaving me at the door to entering kindergarten in September without saying goodbye to his mom.

The birth of Chase on August 26th. Jayden and Amanda shocking us and accepting and loving the baby so much.

Amanda entering Grade 2, and turning 7.

Little Chase is not so little anymore and is almost 3 months. Time is flying.

Business issues popping up this fall that are stressful.

Fact that Christmas may be a stressful time as we may have to move due to city regulations and commercial vehicles/containers that we have on the property.

End of November.........finally fit into a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans.

More than likely have more, but can't think. LOL

Thats all i can think of atm, crap year really, hopefully my LO is going to be the start of something good.

January celebrated our second wedding anniversary at a horrible restaurant that took forever to get our food (and because I was pregnant and got sick when I didn't eat I was miserable :rofl:)

July 23 Hannah was born and nothing's been the same since :lol:

March 17th I found out my LO has Spina bifida and will be delivered at a hospital capable of caring for her.

April 21st, My OH's 21st birthday.

May 8th, My 20th birthday.
May 26th, We move out of our house and into my Nans.

June 27th, We move into our own house.

July 10th, I am taken in hospital for a week with PIH
July 17th, I come out of hospital
July 19th, Back in hospital for 3 days.

August 13th I go into hospital for induction
August 16th I am sent home due to failed induction
August 17th Tegan is born
Aug. 18th Tegan has surgery to repair her back defect
Aug 27th Tegan hassurgery - shunt inserted

September 4th Tegan has surgery to put 2 more stitches in her shunt as its not healing
September 7th Tegan starts a 4-6 week course of Vancomycin - an antibiotic so strong she needs her kidney/liver function checked every 2 days.
September 15th Tegan's shunt is removed, an external drain is put in and she is diagnosed as having an infection in her brain.
September 29th Tegans external drain is removed and we are told she may not need a shunt afterall and may be able to come home soon.

October 7th Tegan has a new shunt in
October 14th Tegan comes home aged 8weeks and 3 days <this was the best day of my life :)

November 11th we are told by the neurosurgeons that all being well, they do not need to see Tegan for 3 months :D
