2013 - A big year



january
I gave myself a mission to be kind to myself
I wrote about the deep pain of infertility
and it got a bit of attention



february
We visited Darwin and I am the biggest scaredy-pants around



march
I got crafty in the kitchen with easter treats (here & here)
I also thought a lot about finding a silver lining.


april
I decided I wasn't going to allow myself to feel punished by my body anymore

I also had a good reminder that we have more friends than we know

and then I thought it'd be fun to do a handmade christmas



may
Trying to be a positive voice in infertility I wrote about 10 things you can say to someone battling infertility
My thoughts on motherhood
Our fertility specialist discussed what our next option should be - IVF

 june
This was a busy month - busy having fun!
I started off my sharing some thoughts on priorities
Then we did so many amazing things during our week in New York (like hanging out with Jimmy Fallon)
and we rounded out the month spending the majority of June with my sister in Ohio


july
We spent the first week of July saying goodbye to my sister
I got a plant-baby
And gained 3 kg returning home to Australian winter and hibernating after our summer holiday in the US



august
I went on a serious get healthy regime from the naturopath
and gave up Diet Coke (this is a big deal people!)



september
I was really scared of decisions we had to make
but I gave myself a positive mantra
and we made that big decision



october
The old blog was pretty quiet because we were going through IVF
{It begins, Bruises, Egg Collection & Embryo Transfer}



november
I call this month... nausea-fest. 24/7 nausea. but the BEST part of 2013 happened too.



december
We had some family photos taken
and then we got to share the best news ever

It has been a great year. Whatever happened in your 2013, I hope 2014 is wonderful and brings you everything you are praying for.

I really am so thankful for all the support and friendship I've received through this blog and want you to know, especially those still hoping and praying through infertility, I hope and pray for you.
