Post-holiday recovery...
Jan. 6th, 2009 01:26 pmThis year's holidays were filled with all kinds of wonderfulness, but I can't be sorry to see them go. Christmas was a bit more modest than years past, but that's actually a good thing in my opinion. The gifts I received were thoughtful and give me joy (have been glutting myself with Dr. Horrible and Bones, and have some Stephen King to devour soon, amongst other things). Alex discovered Bionicles and is obsessed with the little robot/alien/demon things. This is also a good thing as it provides something we can take away (for discipline). He's such an imaginitive and creative boy that he'll happily play out scenes with his hands, and doesn't get TV or computer time on a regular enough schedule for him to notice the loss... so the timing on his developing a strong attachment to *something* was really ideal.
I'm about halfway through my pregnancy at this point, though it doesn't feel like it... so much of the beginning is swept along in not feeling much different than normal, and it will get more challenging towards the end, so it still feels like I have a long way to go. Getting lots of kicking/flailing/movement though, which is fun :D He's sure to be full of energy just like his big brother. ( cut for diabetes blah )
A bit behind on everything and trying to catch up with it all... getting there slowly. Have a cold at the moment but trying to just push through it. Nate is, as always, completely wonderrful and supportive and helpful... don't know what I'd do without him. My urge to bake, temporarily quelled by Christmas baking, is back with a vengeance. Looking at awesome cake blogs all day yesterday probably didn't help. This weekend is full of birthday goodness - the niece (1) and nephew (2) on Saturday and then my cousin's boy (5) on Sunday... should be lots of fun. Okay, off to go and be a productive Amy... hope everyone is having a good Tuesday.
