Did you read that in Barbara Walter’s voice? That’s how it sounded in my head. Ha! Wonder how many times that reference will be made this year?
This is our shot from New Year’s Eve before I went to bed the first time. SaraAnn would be up an hour later, likely awakened by the overzealous neighbors in the country with an affinity for fireworks and shooting guns, but she nursed and went right back to sleep until 2:30am. She still isn’t making it through most nights without nursing, but I’m sure the time is coming for her to drop that feeding and while I won’t be sad to sleep all night, I’m sure I’ll miss the middle of the night snuggles.
I’m not starting off the year with resolutions because honestly, I never ever keep them. I have some things I’d like to achieve in this next year and I’m going to strive for those instead. Getting healthier and moving more are on the top of my list to keep up with my almost one year old princess. Intentionally focusing on health rather than weight is where I want my focus to be as an example to her…I’ve been on and off diets for most of my life and I don’t want that for her. I want to make wise food choices, move intentionally and all myself a treat once and a while without guilt.
SaraAnn will be one in a few days and I can hardly believe it. This time last year, I was counting down the days to be induced and worrying myself sick about having to have a csection (I didn’t) and would I be able to do it without an epidural (I couldn’t). I’ve been so amazed at how fast the year has gone by and she’s changed right before my eyes. She is a momma’s girl without question but she LOVES her daddy. The days turned into weeks and months and I looked up and she’s a walking near toddler and I’m wishing the time could slow down. I was in survival mode for the early months with lack of sleep…and then they were over.
This collage sums up the year. I feel like she was JUST squirming around in my belly and now she’s so big! Here’s to 2020 and all it has to offer.
