It's my birthday blog, the past year....

[BettyPP]

Yeah so today I am 24, man I am getting old. This past year has been so intense, I cannot believe all the changes that have happened in my life. This time last year I was in the hospital being tested for everything under the sun, only to find out that I hve crohn's disease and a failing kidney. I was in the hospital for 6 days. All in ll throughout the year I was in the hospital 6 times for the stupid crohn's. In February I married my best friend and 2 days later we found out we were pregnant. I think all of that has brought us closer. It was rough at first with the hormones and crohn's flare ups but he stuck next to me taking care of me and loving me even when I felt like a fat cow, he always told me I was beautiful, and I really needed to hear that. In October all the stress and hardwork payed off, we have a very healthy, strong, and beautiful baby boy named Jacob. He makes me smile all day, if he wasn't here with me today I would be half way around the world, in some shit hole country, not nearly as happy as I am with him. Who would have known that I would love being married and a Mommy. It is the greatest joy of my life. In July I got out of the army and I was diagnosed with PTSD, for the bad incident that happened in the army that I will not get into, the flashbacks are to much for me. I was given a percentage of disability from the VA for all of my helth problems that have occured due to my service in the army. I am happy that I will have health insurance for life since I seem to end up in the hospital every other month and I have an ass load of doctors that I have to see on a regular basis. I moved back to Chicagoland from Arizona while hubby is deployed. The only things that are helping me while my hubby is gone is my family, friends, and zoloft, lol... I miss him so much and if it wasn't for Jacob I would probably be in really bad condition, I miss him so much. I can't believe he wont be back until I'm 25 and some change. Oh well, thats the life of an army wife. When he gets back hopefully we will be moving to Seattle instead of shitty Arizona... I've made a lot of good friends this year and hopefully some old ones can reconnect with me too. Woot and I have lost 40lbs of my prego weight...Yippee... Thats my year in a nutshell, wish me happy birthday....
