It All Evens Out

Today, my blog turns four years old....

I still remember writing my very first post like it was yesterday...I wish I had taken a screen shot of what my very first layout looked like, but I remember creating it with a "build-a-blog-kit" before moving over to blogspot later in '07. I just dove right into Google, looking for anyone else who had blogs about trying to have a baby...and I was so lucky to come across LJ, Farah, Mel and others in my early days.

I find it super-special that timing worked out pretty well, due to the fact that O-man's birthday falls only days before this blog's birthday. We celebrated the big TWO this past Friday...

So lots of even numbers around these parts...and I'm happy to say that things are evening out with the health of my 2-year-old and my 32-year-old. I really appreciate the get-well wishes and thoughts as we navigated through all of that. I'm thankful that both my hospital visit 2 years ago and this most recent one all turned out OK, but I'd rather not have to plan on being anywhere near a hospital during the last week of January from here on out. Hoping the universe is listening...

Since I'm all about happy-shiny-good things today, I do want to also mention again how grateful I am to all of my blog/twitter friends who honestly kept me sane the past few weeks. Looking back at my FB page and the notes people left during Omans hospital stay, I am more convinced than ever that the friendships I have made through blogging are incredibly strong and genuine. 

Thank you LJ, Alison, Jamie and Rottenstinker for rallying the troops for our support system...and all the time and effort you all put into making sure we were taken care of. My Braces Bunch girls--I love you. No doubt about it, you all are my sisters. And of course, I am incredibly thankful for my family and all that they did for us.

So I'm handing you each a piece of virtual cake--thank you, thank you for reading along, whether you've been here four years or four days. I am grateful for this space and look forward to blogging until I'm 94.... :)


P.S. Another celebration? I have an article in the current edition of Babiekins Magazine :)
