I have to say, reviewing this year is very difficult for me, as I’m sure many of you know. But mixed in with the sorrow, there has been so much to be thankful for. It’s been a year of both ultimate sadness, and uplifting joy, and a roller coaster of emotions I didn’t think were possible to happen all within the span of one year.
January:
January was full of home improvement projects to our new home. We updated the lighting and the master bathroom.
We also went on an amazing overnight trip to Tahoe’s Squaw Valley
and Geeky and I got lost in the woods on a hike.
We announced to you, my lovely readers, that we were expecting our first baby, Roo. 
February:
We shared the news of Roo with our friends. 
I made a huge To Do List for 2012, and I’m happy to say I actually crossed quite a few items off of it! We celebrated Match’s 28th birthday 
and then he lost his wedding ring on Valentine’s Day. I participated in my first blog swap and scored big time with really cool gifties.
I celebrated my 12 week milestone, and we painted the nursery tree.
I also battled with spotting and pelvic rest.
March:
We had a wonderful visit with my family in Ashland. It was the one time everyone got to see my bump with Roo, and I will always cherish those memories. 
Match passed out and scared the bejeesus out of me. I made some progress on the to do list, including updating the downstairs half bath and painting the kitchen hinges. 
I reached 16 weeks, and was dealing with a very overactive bladder.
Overall January-March were some of the happier times this year, and I will cherish those blissful moments of innocence, before our world fell out from under us. What happened to you in the first part of the year? Catch me up! And don’t forget to link up next week with April, May and June recaps.
