Coughing in the new year..

So today we are 24 weeks pregnant and waiting for the ball to drop for 2012 to begin. I must say I can't wait for 2011 to be over with. This year brought with it some truly difficult losses for my family. My aunt was murdered in her own home by her ex boyfriend on july 4th and my father died of pancreatic cancer. The best parts of 2011 where I got a new job,  we got pregnant with our little girl and we enjoyed our first year of being married and living in our new house.
Tonight the ball will drop and 2012 will ring in a new year of goods and bads. My prayer is that the good is our daughter is born healthy and happy. We as a family stay healthy and close.I also pray there are very little to no bads.. right now I have a very bad cough that has progressivly gotten worse. I am taking robitusin and trying to drink a lot of liquids. The holidays wore me and my hubby out. We go to see the doctor for our 24 week appointment on wednesday and if my cough isn't better by then I will beg for him to give me something stronger. The morning coughing is the worst because if I cough hard enough then my gag reflux kicks in and I begin to dry heave over the sink until I vomit up bile. LOVELY. I just cry and pray that my baby is safe and not dealing with anything that her mommy is dealing with.
I feel little Eleanor move every day and it makes me smile. The bond between us grows each day and I love the way she constantly reminds me how blessed we are to have her moving around in my belly. Matthew reads to her The Hobbit each night and I dream about what she will look like and what her personality will be like. We have registered for our baby showers and I have begun to wear maternity clothes now that my tummy and boobs have a new area code :)  I am more hungry nowadays and minus this horrible cough I get more and more excited about being a mom and having a baby. Labor and delievery still terrify me but we start our baby classes next week so possibly this fear will lessen as I learn more and as time gets closer.

A toast to 2012! May god bless us all this new year!
