So Long 2008!

Yes, I should have done this post A WHILE ago, but hey, give a girl a break. I have been busy, busy!
So, I thought I'd do a little look back at '08 to help welcome '09. Phew! What a year it's been!

2008 was off to a CRAZY start! This newly married couple (just over a year of marriage) found out they were expecting not one baby, or two, but THREE! Yikes! At first they thought I was having twins and then--- the unexpected third baby popped on the screen.

We'll fast forward a bit... by the start of the year I was already on bed rest because of pregnancy complications (pretty common with high order multiples).
I was not allowed out of bed (except of course to snap the occasional picture) and I spent many a week in the hospital-- that part of '08 I HATED!!!
Much of my diet plan for 2008 consisted of this... yes, one of the HIGHLIGHTS of the year!
Yes sir re, the docs wanted me to consume about 4000 calories a day. Believe me, it's more difficult than one might believe! Finally, on April 21,2008 I was relieved of the bed rest boredom that '08 had brought me so far. Yep, it was D-DAY.... or rather, B-DAY for three babies! About time! Can you tell how happy I was to see this day!?!?
So, I guess you could say we ALL went under the knife and...

One by one...
We were VERY blessed. THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF '08!!!!!
After that, well, everything is a bit of a blur....

Let's see, Remmington turned 11.
We had LOTS of pizza in '08 (which is a promise for '09, as well)!
By the end of the year I had three big babies--- who give me a run for my money every day--- but we have SO MUCH FUN!
Can't wait to see what '09 brings! More babies? I wouldn't bet on it! :p
