Nearing the end of 2011 with a smile on our faces

The beginning of this year, I wrote about this being the Year of the Rabbit and what that meant. How perfect!  The Year of the Rabbit brought lots of change to our lives this year, which was to be expected, its not been an easy year but has been a fulfilling year and is ending on a wonderful note! We are happier than ever -- Team Cook is officially adding a member to its team, a little girl! 

Being pregnant so far has been such a surreal experience, I am still just trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. And now I can feel her moving around and its blowing my mind!  I am half way there and can't believe its going by so fast!  I have never looked forward to a year more than this upcoming one!  Amazing how time changes things, this time last year, I was so sad that things weren't working out the way I had hoped.  We put our selves through so much to have our current outcome... glad to see it all worked out! 

We bought the farm house, plans to move their in the spring, and we are having our little girl, Amelia (middle name still being decided) Cook.  So many things to be thankful for and to look forward too!

I am also overwhelmed and overjoyed by the compassion and excitement of all those near me about Amelia's arrival.

I am going to try to be better about posting and will post an image of Amelia's 20 week u/s soon!
