I can't believe how quickly this year has passed. I spent the first half of it pregnant, and the rest of it feeling like crap. I'm hopeful that 2009 will bring nothing but good things to our family. We're starting to head in the right direction financially, which is a huge weight off. Progress, albeit slow, is starting to be made in terms of my mysterious health issue. I've been referred to a third - THIRD - neurologist after a VNG revealed that my chronic vertigo is most likely the result of a CNS issue. Fab-u-lous news, no? Good news is that things like tumors and aneurysms have been ruled out several times over. I think my PCP's still thinking that I may have MS. This new neurologist is (allegedly) an expert, and *the* doctor to go to for MS symptoms and treatment. So we'll see. Not that I want a diagnosis of that or anything in that spectrum, but an answer, if it ever comes, will be so nice. My PCP is also arranging for me to be seen at The Cleveland Clinic should this new neurologist not have any new insights. That also leaves me hopeful that an answer will be found.
2009 will be the first year out of the last few years that I won't be pregnant during some part of the year. Bittersweet realization.
2009 will bring our 7th wedding anniversary. Hubs turns 38. I'll turn 33. My babies will turn 3 and 1. It will also bring my 10-year college reunion. Yikes.
2009 will hopefully bring nothing but great change for this country. I look forward to 1/20 with both excitement and trepidation.
2009 better bring with it some pretty serious weight loss. Hashimoto's be damned - I vow to lose 50 pounds by the end of this year. That's baby weight from both babies and will bring me back down to my "ideal" weight. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. Finances and lack of any real time prevent me from joining a gym. Well...back up there. We could most likely do it financially. But I feel guilty taking out time for myself to go exercise. Weird, isn't it? It's not enough that I stay home all day with them, but I feel like I'm doing them a disservice by not being around all. the. time. They're going to grow up to resent me for that, aren't they?
2009 holds the promise of everlasting memories. I wish nothing but health and love and happiness for my little family of 4, and to all of you.
May you all have a very, very happy new year!

I resolve to lose weight with you. I don't have the time/$$ to join a gym either - so we'll do it the old fashioned way. At home, in front of dumb 80's work out DVD's, and eating heathy. Sounds like a blast, right?
Here's to a good goal! Cheers!
do your best to be realistic when it comes to the weight loss. my son just turned 5 and my daughter is 28mos old and i'm just now back to pre-baby weight. it takes time, so take it easy. :) also? i don't understand having to be around the little buggers all.the.time. but that's just me.
:)
Happy New Year!
