31 weeks

I think I am now somehow numb again to the life changing effects this baby will have on me. Either that, or I am trying so hard to focus on how great this experience is, that it's totally overshadowing the doubts and fears I have.
I truly hope it's the latter.
Christmas came and went, and well, our household wasn't much prepared for it.
I just couldn't bring myself to decorate this year, or have our annual Christmas party.
Bummer, I know.
Perhaps next year. Actually, next year, I know it will happen. There will be a 10 month old baby for whom I'll be doing all of it for. How's that for motivation?
Meanwhile, here I am on Christmas break trying to get ready. I am now nesting.
I have been cleaning and organizing up a storm.
My husband, I'm sure, is not very enthusiastic about it, since it implicates him in more ways than one. Plus, it highlights all of his messiness.
Yet, I still can't help but love him :)

30 weeks

Tomorrow, the hubby and I have our hospital maternity tour.
I booked it so long ago, and have been looking forward to it. However, today, it finally hit me.
Soon, and very soon, this baby is coming. Whether we're ready or not. And now, it's really hitting me, that no matter how hard I try to get ready, I'm never going to be fully prepared. My whole life is about to change, and I'm incredibly scared.
More than I have ever been my entire life.
My whole identity is about to change, if it hasn't already started to. Sometimes I feel like I don't even know myself.

Good Bye 2009, Hello 2010!

2009 brought with it many changes.
New jobs for both Milo and myself, and definitely new family dynamics.
It feels wonderful to no longer be working for my in-laws, but I cannot say I don't miss the money. However, I am dealing with all of it emotionally and am now taking care of finding me again amidst all these changes.

I'm very excited for what 2010 will bring.
Milo will be off probation in June. Good bye to being a rookie. I cannot wait! We plan on heading to Hawaii to celebrate.
I am also hoping that 2010 will grant me a classroom, my very own.
And lastly, we're hoping this is the year our family will expand.

I cannot wait for all that's in store this year! It's already looking glorious!

Life is GRAND!
