Looking back on 2009

January-Chad turned 32 and I turned 31
Had a MRI done on my ankle and found out my PVNS came back, need to have surgery again
and have radiation treatments on my ankle

February-See a specialist at Chapel Hill about radiation and surgery.
Chad loses his job 2 days later
I find out we are pregnant that next week.

March-23rd we have a doctors appointment and have an ultrasound. I am 10 6 days weeks along and the baby is healthy and there should be no reason why I should not be able to carry the baby full term. They also do a procedure on my Cervix that same day because it was bleeding, but my Uterus was in good shape.
24th bleeding still go in and they do another procedure on my cervix. Check the baby's heart beat on the monitor and it was strong and healthy.
25th at 2am I wake up soaking wet wake Chad up and go to the bathroom. I lose the baby a little later. Kipling woke up during that time and was there the whole time, he would not leave my side.
26th I call the doctor and tell him I lost the baby. They were in total disbelief. I go in by myself because we could not find anyone to watch the kids. They take me right back do an ultrasound and the next thing I know I am on my way to Rex Hospital to have a D&C.
One of the hardest thing I have had to deal with in my life.

April-blur...

May- Chad starts a job
May 11th had another miscarriage at home. Did not have any insurance so I did not do anything. I think I was only 6-8 weeks so I called a couple of friends who had, had miscarriages and the doctors really did not do anything so I just let it go.

May 12th Chad and I celebrated our 9th anniversary WOW time does go by fast.
Memorial Day we went to Atlantic beach with my family for a week. That was a lot of fun.

June-Kip, Sada, and I spent a lot of time at our Clayton Library's Summer Reading program.
They had Smokey the bear, Chick-fi-la, the Science Museum come, Clayton Police, Clayton Fire, Duke Life Flight, an author, had puppet shows, and much more.

July- Summer Reading program
20th I had ankle surgery.....what a treat

August I found out I was pregnant again.
Sada turned 1. We went and saw Ronald McDonald perform and then went and ate at McDonald's. Came home and we celebrated her Birthday with a Brownie Cake. My mother was still here I was still crippled. Sada started taking steps before I did.

Sept. Started bleeding for 2 weeks until I hit my 2nd Tri-mester. Boy was I freaking out.

Oct. Happy Halloween we had a little Halloween party here at the house. Also Halloween day my mother came to my sisters so we went over there for dinner and trick or treating.
All is well with the Pregnancy!!

Nov. Thanksgiving with Chads parents and then off to my parents house to go shopping on Black Friday with my Mother. Celebrated Kips Birthday with my family, had Thanksgiving dinner again and spent time with family.

Dec. Kipling turned 3. Chad took off two days and we had a blast. We went to the kids club house across the street and played in their blow up jumping things, I do not know who had more fun Kipling and Sad or Chad. We also had a Brownie Cake for Kipling.
Chad and I went on a date-we have not done that for a long time. Chads parents watched the Kids and we went to Red Lobster-Oh it was good.
We put up our Christmas tree which I need to post about...I do not know what happened to that. We had ornaments on half the tree, Sada would take the ornaments off and she broke 3 of them.
We took a little vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord. That was so much fun. I cannot wait until we can do that again. I was sad to leave.
Visited with friends and family and just had a wonderful Christmas Season this year.
OH, I made ornaments this year for each of the children and our parents.
What a great way to end the year.
