its been one busy year

i just need to vent today....not so much vent, but type about a crazy busy year.

july 17 2007 was the day i started my new job, it was also the day my husband, fiance at the time left for af basic training. then 6 weeks later i found out i was pregnant....timing not so great, but what a wonderful gift. telling my parents and charles was one of the hardest things because i didnt know how they would react. i told my mother and father aug 3 2007 then charles a couple weeks later. it was really hard to tell him because i had no contact with him. basic training ended for charles aug 31 2007 and he was ecstatic to see his family....and unborn child. we were married on oc 13, 2007 after. we were lucky to have his mother and stepfather there. i also flew my father and mother out to texas to be there....it was there first flight!!! my father was the one who did all my running around for me during pregnancy because my husband was in tech training in texas then seere training in washington then finally flight training in oklahoma where he will finish up in september. was supposed to be august but some setbacks as you will read delayed us a bit. we have been fixing up my grandmothers old farm house....which is alot of time and money. needless to say its still nowhere near done. charles and i found out that were were to be based in alaska after his flight training was through. exciting but sad because we would be leaving our family to move so far....but i guess thats what plane tickets are for. then finally march 27th 2008 after a few trips to the triage at magee, our baby sarah joselyn nestor was born. she was the most wonderful gift to charles and me and our parents. i spent 3 wonderful months at home with my father(retired) while on maternity leave....then i had to go back to work. :( that was a rough day...not only did i leave my baby at home for the first time, but my biological father who wanted nothing to do with me just appeared at the hospital to see me. i just stood there and let him talk, then politely asked him to leave...i mean what do you do in that situation! 20+ years with no hellos then all of a sudden bam there he was. well anyway my dad (the one who raised me) spent so much time with sarah, babysitting her while i worked. we took her everywhere. then dad had to go to the doctors for some checkups...he wasnt doing well. we found out that he had 99% carotid artery blockage on the right side and 70% on the left and an aortic valve replacement needed to be done. he was admitted to the hospital the end of june 2008. sarah and i were there all but 3 whole days during his 1 month and 1 week stay. he was intubated before any of his surgeries because he had congestive heart failure that just got so bad he couldnt breathe. then we got him off the vent and he had one surgery on the right carotid artery. he was moved to a regular floor where we all got to meet up with him one last time. the whole family was there. he told me and sarah some unsettling things....that if he didnt make it tell so and so this and that. he went in for open heart and was opened up 3 times in 36hrs. he fought hard for 2 weeks with liver failure and kidney shutdown. he had some dialysis and finally his labs looked better and we all got so excited. that day he went in for a tracheostomy, dialysis catheter and peg tube for feedings. he did well...it was only to be temporary until he got stonge enough to eat and breath on his own. then the unexpected happened. the family was called in on that night of july 28th 2008. dad wasnt doing well....they did there best but nothing was working. his labs were out of wack and nothing we could do. he waited until his whole family was there once more. he passed away july 29th 2008 at 849pm. he was just 6 days short of turning 65 years old. he was my best friend. charles was able to come home and help us through the services. now we are just trying to cope.....
