A recap...

To say that 2011 has been eventful would probably be an understatement!

Lows:

Our landlords putting our lovely house up for sale when I was 28 weeks pregnant.

New landlords deciding they no longer wanted to rent out the house a week before we moved in.

Pregnancy scare at 32 weeks with doctors saying baby would come within 12 hours.

Spending a week in hospital.

Being sent home from hospital and having to leave Finn in NICU.

Ryan starting a new job the day Finn came out of hospital and not getting to spend any time together.

Ryan losing his job.

Prospect of having to move away from friends and family.

Highs:

A very amazing uneventful pregnancy up until 32 weeks.

Finding a great house in a pretty little village.

Finn hanging on an extra 3 weeks to be delivered at 35 + 2.

Getting to meet my beautiful boy earlier than expected.

The care of the neonatal staff looking after Finn.

Leaving the hospital with Finn at 17 days old with no health problems.

Watching Finn grow every day.

Meeting some amazing new friends.

Ryan getting to spend time at home with us as a family whilst looking for work.



Pretty much every low this year has been cancelled out with a high which is always a good thing!

 

Ryan has his second interview in January so we will find out whether we need to relocate, which is a scary but exciting prospect for the new year.
