Bye-Bye 2009

It is so hard to believe 2009 is over! As difficult as this past year has been, we have had many successes in our quest for a baby. We switched to a well-known, highly respected fertility specialist last January, grew my uterus over an inch, learned that Clomid is just not for me, and figured out what kind of ovulation induction drugs my body responds to. Not too shabby!
I am thankful for those little victories, but I am also thankful for a new year. There's always a sense of accomplishment when one year ends and a new one begins. There's also a sense of excitement and anticipation about what's to come. I've always loved waking up on New Year's Day morning and thinking about what might be in store for that year.
Bye-bye 2009 and welcome 2010!

p.s. We're having a little debate in this house... Do we say the new year as "two thousand ten" or "twenty ten"? As a teacher, I'm a little nervous about what to tell my kids next week when we do calendar! :)

One more 2009 victory that was too early in the making to reveal in this post originally: we received a Christmas miracle! On December 21, 2009, Karl and I found out we are expecting our first child! 2009 was truly a year of overcoming and success! We have much to look forward to in this new year and are beyond thrilled to be starting 2010 as a family of 3!

  1. I think it's Twenty-ten, but I've caught myself saying Two thousand-ten, but who knows?? Let me know what the teachers think is most appropriate!! :)

  2. Thanks for the helpful comment about the SIS. Dr. H said the HSG wouldn't hurt and it was terrible. She said this probably would hurt so I figured it was going to be unbearable! I'm glad it wasn't too bad for you!
