Goodbye, 2015!

Recap of this eventful year:
- I opened this year pregnant. What a great way to kick of 2015.
- I spent the first 5 months of the year still pregnant, happily waiting for our little fighter to come out on his planned birthday, June 12. Then, surprise surprise, he pops out on May 30th, only a day after my last working day at TV5.
- I spent the next 7 months being a fulltime mom and enjoying every minute of it. Breastfed Griffin all the way too, I am so proud to say.
- I also did well financially, despite the sabbatical and lack of paycheck for about 3 months. I chalk this up to being prepared for this change in our lives and for, well, bootstrapping as much as I can. For instance, I hardly shopped for myself and did not buy anything luxurious at all.
- We went to Singapore on a short trip, just us two, and it felt great to take a break from the sleepless nights (though the requisite pumping still meant I could only sleep max of 6 straight hours, but hey I'll take that!)
- I close the year with a heart full of joy and contentment. Life is best lived this way, I realize :)

2015 brought me the best and greatest gift of my life. I now understand how much of a struggle it is to focus on the marriage and the husband, when there is a little, vulnerable one needing you more. Griffin is undoubtedly the biggest treasure in my life and I don't know how I ever lived without him.

Happy New Year! <3 br="">
