Farewell, 2012

This is how 2012 is ending for us:


Davis is sick (again... though just allergies this time, thankfully), and I am not pregnant. This seems to be the theme of the last half of our year. Davis gets sick, I find out I'm not pregnant... lather, rinse, repeat.

But 2012 wasn't supposed to end like this. I'm supposed to be 28 weeks pregnant. We are supposed to be looking forward to all that 2013 has to bring for our family. We are supposed to be preparing Davis to become a big brother. This is supposed to be a joyful time.

Instead I'm just sad. So please forgive me for not having a clever recap of our year today, or presenting a noble list of goals for the coming year, or attempting to leave you with some inspiration. Right now I just want the year to be over with, and I'm praying I'll be singing a much different tune on December 31, 2013.

Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year.

I had a dream last night and you were pregnant. Totally random I know, but if it turns out I'm psychic then it must be coming soon because Amanda was still pregnant with the twins...so.... You can pay me $2.99/minute of my dream when I'm right!

Boo on the super lame 2012. I know exactly how it feels to be so ready for a year(s)/season to just END ALREADY and move towards hopefully happier times. Praying yours come soon.

There is nothing to forgive; you have every right to feel the way you do! Farewell, 2012...hello, 2013! I hope it is a better year for so many, including you and your sweet family!

I also pray that 2013 brings you much happiness and a release of all the icky-ness and sadness of 2012. I'm sorry it's ending on such a sad note.

Nothing to apologize for… praying that 2013 will end on a much better note, but I'm also praying that you don't have to wait that long to get your good news!

blessings in 2013!

No apologies needed. I've enjoyed reading your blog this year and I'm actually on my computer today and able to comment! For some reason I've not been able to comment from my phone. :( I appreciate your honesty and have found it very refreshing. We've been praying for you and your family and pray that 2013 will be a much happier year for you all. :)

I don't know how I missed your last 4 posts. I'm sorry you were/are having a hard time. What a rough year it has been. Continuing to pray for hope, peace, and a great 2013!
