Year in Review: 2007

I look back over the last year and think about what happened and really the only thing I can think of is when Jackie was born. Not that this is the only thing that happened in the last year but it seems like the whole year was about her. January to March - the lead up to her, getting all the baby gear, getting her room set up and organized.

Then once she arrived nothing else mattered. Our whole lives were only about her. We lived at the beginning in 3 hour stretches (the time between feeding). We tracked diapers (both kinds), we analyzed the cries. Is it a cry of pain? Hunger? Gas? Oh and then the teeth - I learned that I can explain everything "because she's teething".

We definitely conquered a lot of ground in the past year and look forward to what 2008 will bring, stay posted.....

i'll be sad for the teething stage to end - it's amazing the understanding nods you get when you blame it on that:).
