2008

Lets start with January: Jeff and I bought a new house. We are so happy with the house and the area. We are planning on living there for a very long time. Its basically our dream house. Ask us if we would do it again?? Nope. We will never have 2 mortgages again. Lets just say it was really stressful and thank God for our tenants.
February.... I found out I was pregnant for the first time. And then in April I had a miscarriage. Like I said before, it still effects me. Nobody warned me that you dont see Marly and Me if your pregnant. I can understand why if your pregnant for the first time. All it did was bring back the memory of my miscarriage. Sorry if I ruined the movie for ya. I cried my eyes out when they found out. Jeff grabbed my hand, like a good husband and we just looked at each other. How they told them was basically the same way they told us.
In May, we found out that I was pregnant again. There wasnt as much excitement as before. When we first found out we were pregnant, I wrapped a gift and video taped Jeff's reaction. The second time I found out, I called Jeff on the phone and said " yah... I think were pregnant again". I wasn't positive because you can still have positive tests after a miscarriage. So.. with caution we went to the dr and found out that it was true.
In May, we had the birth of Emma Grace and Samatha Kay. What a celebration! They both were healthy and beautiful.
In September, we found out we were having a baby girl. We named her Isabella Faith.
In October, we had the anniversary of Tommy Wilson. I cant believe he passed away 1 year ago from cancer.
There was also a date nobody remembered but me..... October 24, 2008. We would've had a baby born that day. I thought about him or her that day. There is a lady at church who had the same due date as I. Everytime I look at her baby today, I cant help but wonder about our first angel and if she/he would be that weight. I would be holding a baby right now. But then again, once Isabella is born, I know I will have to face my thoughts about if I didnt have a miscarriage, I wouldnt have her, right? I know its what God planned for us but I still find it hard somedays. 2008 had some up's and down's but in the end it was a good year.
