Best 2012 Memories

Happy New Year to you all!

I hope 2012 was everything you hoped for & then some …

As a way to recap the year, I thought back to all of the special memories that happened and chose my top 10 from 2012. The pictures are found in order as they happened throughout the year… so from January to December.

Enjoy!

1) Trip to visit my parents in Key West, Florida during March Break!

2) The birth of our precious little miracle niece.
Born prematurely and weighing in at 2lbs. 1oz., she is truly a miracle & we love her very much! xox

3) Cavendish Country Concert for some pre-bachelorette fun with the ladies. Alabama & Rascal Flatts were amazing!

4) Best friend’s big BACHELORETTE @ Broadleaf Farms, N.B.

(She would kill me for posting this in so many media forms but I know she’ll still love me…)

5) Becoming Godparents! xo
When hubby’s sister asked both of us to be our niece’s godparents,
we were truly touched and blessed.

6) Best Friend’s Wedding! In true country form …

7) First Year Anniversary Trip!
Hubby, Boots & I decided to pack up and head down to my husband’s uncle’s camp which is right on the Miramichi River.
We had beautiful weather, enjoyed each other’s company
& Boots was obviously in Heaven!

 

 

 

8) Brother’s Wedding in Red Deer, Alberta!
It was so special for me to have my baby brother marry the woman of his dreams and best friend. She is an amazing person and I am so lucky to call her a sister now.

 

 

 

9) Trip to NYC with Mom!!!
It was my first time in the Big Apple and had an amazing time with my mom seeing the sites, enjoying a few shows and getting a little shopping in, of course!

 

 

 

10) BEST MOMENT OF ALL ……………..

Baby J!

My husband and I could not be more excited to be welcoming our first child, June 2013!

2012 was an amazing year but …
I have a feeling that 2013 will be even better!

Big Announcement!

 

YUP! That’s right. Hubby & I are expecting a little one in June!

I know I haven’t been a consistent blogger but I feel like when I first began my blog,
I was blogging about our wedding planning process.
Now that I’m pregnant, there is loads to blog about again as well as tons more time to blog as I have been finding myself snuggled up at home much more often than before. 

Hubby and I finally made it public knowledge (a.k.a. FB knowledge) this past Friday!! We had tons of congratulatory messages from people which was so nice. So many people are excited for us which is so touching and very exciting! We are very blessed to have the family and friends that we do.

It was definitely a tough secret to keep from others. I felt so relieved once everyone knew!

We even found out that some of our close friends are due the day before us!!!! I mean what are the chances. I cannot believe and am still in shock over that news. We will be able to share loads this coming year for sure as well as being on mat leave together all next year. It is perfect.

I had my first doctor’s appointment on Friday which was also my birthday (awesome birthday gift btw) and was told that everything is going well and the baby is healthy. I have to go for blood work this week and will have another appointment in a month which feels so far away.

Our first u/s is only at 18 weeks – is this normal?
I feel like that is later than most but really have no idea.

Anyways, hubby and I are thrilled and super excited! We were so lucky in that it happened right away. I know sometimes couples can be TTC for a few years so we consider ourselves extremely lucky and very blessed!

Originally, I thought it was maybe girl but now I am leaning towards boy. Hubby is absolutely convinced that it is a mini-him lol. I guess we will have to wait and see!!!
