I can anticipate a few reality moments of "who do both of these childen belong too" in 2012. I don't enjoy pregnancy - the non stop nausea and vomiting but I am savouring the experience more this time (not the insulin injections) balanced against lots of "come out I can't wait to meet you thoughts".
Christmas was relaxing and slower paced this year which suited my pregnant self. Raya was spoilt by Santa.Rather than cramming things into one day we spent longer with different groups of family and enjoyed ourselves more - and spread out the dessert consumption.
NYE was low-key and spent with friends. We are past the clubbing stage now and fighting for a cab as a way to celebrate the new year.
A lot of blogs have been talking about new years resolutions or what I like to think of as January's to do list. I used to love resolutions but I have realised that change comes for me not from one big decision in the first month of the year but from a consistent series of smaller decisions and it's consistency which is the key.
2012 is the year of keeping it simple and the pressure off from within. I am looking forward to putting family first and not having the pressures of anything else but being a mummy to two little ones.
However there are PLENTY of jobs which we need to do to be ready before the baby comes. Not that the little one will be aware of them being completed but we are remembering that sleep deprivation and knowing that if we don't get on top of things now things will be looking ugly by the middle of the year.
We also have a busy calendar. There are birthdays of 6 close family members including myself, hubby, Aurelia and 3 children before the baby comes, a baby shower to organise, a dedication, calm birthing classes and this is all hoping that the baby stays inside till close to full term.
Did you make resolutions this year or give them a miss? Share away what adventures you have planned for 2012.
