What a difference a year makes

The arrival of 2009 intensified my excitement for and anticipation of The Accountant and I growing our family.  We knew that 2009 was the year.  The year we would start trying to get pregnant, and with a little luck, it could be the year that it worked.  We had planned for a long time to get started in late summer 2009, and finally, 2009 had arrived.  I couldn’t help visions of fast success and daydreams of a baby due in May 2010.  At the same time, I was fighting fears of months and months passing, draining our bank account and our hopes while we tried and tried to conceive with no success.  It was exciting, and it was scary.  We had been living in our apartment for about 6 months, and were already thinking about our next move – homeownership.  We had a lot of saving to do, lots of decisions to make, and lots to look forward to.

 

And now, here I am at the start of 2010.  Six months pregnant with our baby boy.  The Baby, who is due in May, and is already so very loved.  We have also begun the process of buying our first house – there’s still much to do be done before we have keys in hand, but we are so thrilled.  So much has changed in the last twelve months, and so many changes are yet to come in the next.
