On New Year's Day, it's been tradition for my husband's side of the family to share what they've been thankful for. This year was no different as we went around sharing three things: 1) What we've been thankful for 2) What we're stressed out about, so that we can keep each other in prayer 3) What we hope for in 2012.
Here is what I shared with my family. 1) I'm thankful for many things as we went through several transitions this past year, but the hardest to overcome was when Ryder was diagnosed with infantile esotropia (when the eyes are "crossed"). I plan to write a separate post on this in the future, but I'm so grateful that his eye muscle surgery was successful. 2) What is constantly on my mind and in my prayers is that his eyes will stay this way. There is a chance for them to drift again which is my biggest fear, but I also understand that it's totally out of my control. 3) Our hope is to get pregnant with baby #3! I can't believe I'm willing to go through the crazy morning sicknesses again, but it's so worth it!
