2012 {Recap!}

WOOOOO-WEEE!

2012 has been REALLY eventful. Full of fall ins, fall outs, ups, downs, and the event that took the crown.. Mr Baiden being born. So lets recap this roller-coaster year!

Going through all the albums on my computer has been quite the blast to the past, and quite the task trying to pick ONE event in that month, and pick ONE pic. So my only advice is to follow the links and read the whole blog post! (If there is a link)

(Disclaimer: My life is an open book. I post a lot of pics. Key people in my life are in a lot of my pics.The internet world notices when things in the personal life change, even if i didnt officially talk about it on my blog. So out of respect for those involved, ill give a brief statement, but lets not ask too many questions lol)

 January was my fitness/weight loss PEAK after struggling for so long (9 months) with my newly discovered disease (February 2011) hypothyroidism and finding my right dose.

--------------------------------------------------------

See what i mean! Crazy roller coaster year.
more ups then downs though for sure!

i lost 2 best friends, BUT gained (& rekindled) 2 best friends.

I know my life sounds dramatic in the friend department, but all i will say, is that i wasnt the one who threw the friendships away if you catch my drift. Im not going into detail, and please dont ask questions. But all i have to say, is that life gets the best of us sometimes. We are young, we make mistakes. Its sad to watch, but sometimes you just gotta let your loved ones have their time and know when to not let it bring you down. Ok, enough with that.

Getting pregnant after my miscarriage last year was amazing and i was so stoked for our new baby! My pregnancy was AMAZING! We had SO much fun this year with parks, camping, boating, bbq's, cabins adventures, concerts, carnivals, birthdays, holidays, HOLY CRAP! We met AMAZING friends this year who we have to thank for the rekindling, majority of the fun events, but most importantly, friends we can call family. People who would literally go to battle for us. Support us. Was there for me through hard times, Etc.

This was also the year for my photography business! I started photography the end of March of 2011. 2011 was my learning year, 2012 was my branching out and growth year! If you're interested in my work, head of over to my blog and follow it! :) http://chrissyannphotography.blogspot.com

So CHEERS to 2013!
I have a feeling its going to be even better then 2012

We Almost Had A Baby At The Cabin....

DONT FRET!

We are almost to the labor and delivery story haha!

This post is what happened right before i went into labor... Lets begin.

So last Friday (September 21st) we decided to go with our friends to their cabin. I had been having LOTS of braxton hicks contractions and cervical pain (as i mentioned in my last pregnancy vlog) but i had called my doc and they said it was all normal for being 35 weeks and to wait till my 36 week appointment on the 24th where they would check my cervix. The only time i'd need to worry and go in to the hospital or doctor is if my contractions became regular and 2-3 min apart for an hour. They never became that regular.. So i figured, ok, lets go to the cabin! IF i do go into labor.. its only an hour and 45 minute drive back home.. (little did i know......)

Friday night, everyone got up there kinda late so we mostly just hung out by the fire, then went to bed.

That night.. i did NOT sleep. And i felt so so weird. I kept having contractions that HURT. I spent the whole night trying to sleep and counting contractions.. but they never became regular enough for me to worry or think i was in actual labor. But MAN did they hurt. SHARP pains in my back, butt cheek, and leg.

During the day everyone went out on a four wheeler ride. 

Everyone wanted me to go but i had a weird feeling and said NO WAY. They bumps would probably put me into labor. Or if we wrecked.. i could never live with myself if something happened to my baby.

Long story short, i stayed behind and took nature pictures as seen in the beginning of this post. I was prepared to just hang out so i had my ipod handy and just relaxed. It was so nice and peaceful  The weather was AMAZING.

Hobo dinners are the BEST!

The girls! Justine, me, Tanisha, and Nikki!

(Scottee wasnt around but dont worry, we made sure to get some with her later that night)

 Smores!!

HAHAHA we are so cool.

Dont leave us alone with a camera, we have no control over the outcome lol

ALL the girls!

Me, Scottee, Nikki, Justine, and Tanisha!

This photo was an accident but SO funny! 

LAST baby bump pic!!!!!

Its become a tradition i guess lol

Due to the events the night before.. i had a weird feeling and wanted to go home early. I didnt want to risk another night with no sleep and just feeling crappy.. or possible labor.

So we hung out till about 12:30 am... then got in the car to head home...

As SOON as we got on the road.... BAM, contractions.

Real ones. That hurt like a mofo.

TO BE CONTINUED..........
