My Ta-Da List

I, too, was inspired by Kellie's Ta-Da list idea. So here's a look back...


Ta-Da 2006

*Packed up my family and moved across the country to start anew in Colorado

*Managed to stave off bedrest until I was 28 weeks pregnant this time (a mere week after arriving in CO), as opposed to 20 weeks with Bode

*Accepted help from those who offered while on bedrest

*Asked for help!

*Delivered at 37 weeks (that's term, baby!) a healthy baby boy

*Had an AWESOME delivery this time

*Successfully nursed Keegen (still am)

*Actually enjoyed living in a 2-bedroom apartment for 2 months (until i went on bedrest and it was too small for the help that came to stay with us, but we made it work!)

*Made our new house a home

*Made new friends and kept the old

*Taught a class of 16 Sunbeams and I'm still alive to talk about it (and so are the Sunbeams as half of them are now my CTR's!)

*Learned more everyday about my boys and tried really hard to be a better parent with more patience, love and tolerance

*Cross stitched Keegen's Christmas stocking

*Dealt with Bode dropping his much-needed nap and successfully instituted "Quiet Time" making it possible for me to stay sane and keep blogging

That's what i can think of right now. Feels pretty good to see it in black and white.
