Here is what happened in 2008 in the Cody Family.
January: We host a New Year's Eve Party with several close friends. We announce to them & to our parents that we just found out we are pregnant!
February: We get to see an ultrasound of our new little one and hear the heartbeat. He/she looks perfectly healthy & is expected to arrive Sept. 10, 2008.
March: We celebrate Easter at our church and with a night out, just the two of us. I'm really starting to show.
April: We get to go on a camping trip with Elizabeth & Dan to the mountains of NC... The big ultrasound reveals we're having a little girl!
May: We celebrate 2 years since our wedding day... I turn 27.
June: We travel to visit my parents in the OBX and have our first baby shower.
July: We have another baby shower at our church in Raleigh. Our little girl is already spoiled rotten and we're given practically everything we need to welcome her into the world.
August: Leah Grace Cody enters the world, 2 weeks early on the 29th. She weighs 5 lbs. 16 oz... Brett is ordained into the ministry on August 31st by Creedmoor Road Baptist Church.
September: Brett's mom & dad come for a visit to meet Miss Leah. We are just beginning to adjust to life as new parents.
October: Fall brought Leah's 2 month birthday & lots of outdoor fun!
November: We travel to Chattanooga (Leah's first short plane trip) for Elizabeth & Dan's wedding, in which I am the matron of honor... Thanksgiving is spent in the Outer Banks with my family, Leah's first beach trip.
December: Christmas & the holidays always keep us busy with church activities, the cantata, parties with friends, and of course, presents!
Goals for 2009:
(I don't really like to make "resolutions" but I do like to establish some new goals.)
- Read at least 3 "classic" books. We have a ton on our shelf that just sit there. I want to read them before Leah gets to high school & beats me to them.
- Exercise to stay fit. About a month ago I did make it back to my pre-pregnancy weight. However, that weight was about 10 lbs. more than when I got married. I would like to lose a little more of that, but mostly I just want to exercise to stay healthy. This will also include eating healthier and not eating so much junk or caffeine.
