Reid was of course a wonderful gift from the year 2008...but boy am I glad to put the year behind us! It has been a VERY emotional and stressful year on so many different levels! I'll never forget it and I think in the long run I'll realize that it has made me a stronger and better person. I'm really looking forward to a happy and HEALTHY 2009! Recap: Jan. '08 -- Whoops! I found out I was pregnant - definitely wasn't expecting that one! Feb. '08 -- Double whoops! We found out we were having twins! Mar. - May '08 -- Jimmy gets shuffled around with his former employer to like three different locations. June 14 '08 -- Jimmy gets laid off. June 18 '08 -- I am put on bed rest due to my water breaking WAY too early. I spent the next 21 days in bed at Emory Eastside. July 10 '08 -- Reid and Jameson are born 3 months premature. Jameson passes away. July 10 - Sept. 4 '08 -- Reid is in the NICU at Emory Eastside. Aug. '08 -- Jimmy gets a job with Builders First Source. Sept. 4 '08 -- REID COMES HOME after 56 days in the NICU. The rest of the year was pretty uneventful; just stressful as we had to adjust to having a preemie at home with us! I was so happy when we finally got rid of the supplemental oxygen, pulse ox and heart monitor! The year ended on a sad note -- my grandmother (Ruth Morgan Noyes) passed away on the 28th of December. I do know that she is no longer in pain and was with all the people she loved when she died - so I guess, that is the silver lining.
