Here is my 28 Week Bump Photo
Well since it's a new year I thought I would take a look back at 2010 and everything that happened. Which is a lot.
January started with a huge blow to my family. We lost my beloved granddaddy, Big Ern, to cancer on January 16, 2010. I can't believe it's almost been a year. I still miss him so much, but am so grateful for the time I got to spend with him while he was on this earth. He was such a great man.
At the end of January I attended my very first Gala at UMC and had a blast. Can't wait for this event again this year. It's on Jan 29th and I designed all the invitation stuff for it this year.
At the beginning of February I went to the Lubbock Ad Federations Annual Addy Awards. UMC took home 3 awards, but I anticipate much more wins this year.
Somewhere between Jan and Feb we decided to start trying to have a baby.
In mid February was the Laugh for the Cure event. I was on the committee for this event and it was so much fun to see all our hard work pay off. We brought in two comedians for a comedy night and had a live auction, survivor stories and a VIP hour all in the name of Komen and breast Cancer awareness. I'm on the commitee again this year and it's going to be great.
On March 21, 2010 Brandon and I celebrated our 1st anniversary. Hard to believe that we have been married for almost 2 years now and expecting a baby around the same time.
At the end of March Brandon I went on a family cruise to the Caribbean with Brandon's brothers and their wives and had a blast.
In May I decided enough was enough and sought medical help for my abdominal pain I was suffering from. That's when a final diagnosis of Endometriosis was confirmed.
On June 15th I had surgery to get rid of the Endometriosis and an uterine cyst. Brandon also had a hernia repair surgery.
My doctor then told me on my two week follow-up appt that NOW was the time to have a baby if we wanted to.
So we did! We found out we were expecting our first little baby on July 15, 2010!
At 5 weeks pregnant we went to Vegas for my friend Lindsey's wedding. It was like 115 degrees in Vegas :0
Then we went to Oklahoma for Brandon's family reunion and one of my best friend's, Kari's, bridal shower.
At the end of the summer Brandon launched his Pedi Cab business with his friend David. Everything has been going great with it so far. I'm really proud of him.
On August 6th my cousin Joel married his beautiful bride Sarah in Oklahoma City. So that was our second trip to Oklahoma in a month.
That's also when we told my brother and Brittany about the baby. They were excited!!!
At the end of August, Kari got married in Oklahoma and I was a bridesmaid. She was such a beautiful bride and I was honored to be a part of her special day. Even if morning sickness was in full force by then.
On August 28, 2010 my other great friend, Shanda, had her beautiful baby Adele. I missed the birth because Kari got married on the same day.
September and October are a blur because I was so sick from being pregnant. We did get to see our baby for the first time in late August.
I cried when I saw her for the first time. It was such a miracle. We heard her heart beat and had another ultrasound in mid September when I was 13 weeks.
Brandon and I had fun on Halloween.
On November 5th we found out baby Hughes is a little Girl. Hannah Kate Hughes!!!
Had a great time in Dallas for Thanksgiving. (sorry no pictures)
Went from this little belly to this bigger belly in a month.
Spent Christmas with the family and New Year's in my pajamas :)
2010 was such a busy, exciting, busy, heartbreaking, but wonderful year. Can't wait to see what 2011 brings.
