2012 for us has been the hardest year of our lives. DH lost his father in April and had to fly to Scotland alone for the funeral as I was 36 weeks pregnant. DS was born in May, we were sent home with a healthy and beautiful little boy. 9 days later our world came crashing down when we took DS into hospital with a suspected chest infection as he seemed to be struggling for breath only to be told he was in fact in severe heart failure. What followed was 9 weeks in hospital, 6 in intensive care, two open heart surgeries, three times his heart stopped and he was shocked back to life and three "you need to prepare for the worst" conversations with doctors.
The miracle of 2012 however is that we brought him home in August! He started feeding himself in October. October and November were marked by illness for our two year old. December saw DH's mum and brother fly from Scotland only to argue and nitpick an eventually leave early causing a major rift in his family. Not sure it will ever be repaired.
2013 will be the year we build our dream home. We will (hopefully) fall pregnant with number three, we will watch our beautiful children thrive and DS will continue to be stable- no surgery in 2013!!! 2013 will be our year!!!!
