2012 was by all standards a good year. One of the best. There is very little I can complain about when it comes to 2012.
It even ended on a good note with a visit with Dr. MFM today that showed my labs remain steady, my blood pressure is stable at an acceptable level and optimism all around that we can keep this little boy cooking for another four weeks at which point he will be considered full term. The doctors will be watching closely but I think the overall sense is that things have gone remarkably well, all things considered.
Tonight Paul and I will celebrate the new year on east coast time (something we’ve pretty much done since I started working market hours years ago). We’ll have a toast of champagne (just a sip for me!) and a kiss and we’ll hug each other on the couch and marvel at the fact that next year it will no longer be just the two of us.
Sometimes I still can’t believe this is all happening. I can’t believe how lucky I am. That this is my life. That I get to be married to the most wonderful man I’ve ever met. That we live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, in a condo that truly feels like home. That there is a baby swing in the spare bedroom and a bag stuffed full of baby clothes sitting on the couch. That I can look down at my swollen belly and watch it move, so full of precious life.
Will write more soon, but for now I just wanted to wish you all a happy new year. Life is amazing. God is so good.
