haircuts and waterbirths - what a year!

Well along with the rest of you at this time of year I have been having a bit of a reminisce. Here's my year summed up in a sentence and the emotion that came with it.

in January I returned back to work after over a year off on maternity leave pregnant again. Anxious

in February I had my twelve week scan and found out that my baby was not developing well. Distraught

in March we had the all clear - our little boy was doing just fine. Relief.

in April we enjoyed the glorious sunshine and started clearing the garden in Fairy Cottage, digging raised beds for our vegetable patch. Happy

in May I stopped being anonymous on my blog and revealed the real me! Nervous

in June Little P hopped on the tantrum train and went from babbling baby to foot stomping toddler. Frustrated

in July we tried, and failed, to get Little P out of the cot and in to a bed, and I tried every trick in the book to turn my transverse baby. Determined.

in August I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Joy

in September I ran around like a headless chicken trying to adapt to life with two under two. Exhausted

in October I celebrated my birthday by cooking for sixty people I don't really know at someones elses celebrations. Accepting

in November I got my beloved and much missed fringe cut back in. Confident

in December we became party hosts as we celebrated Little P's 2nd birthday and the Boys christening at Fairy Cottage. Domestic!

It's been a roller coaster of emotions. There has not been much sleep and we have shed lots of tears. But we have also laughed, we have laughed a lot. in 2010 my family has grown in number and in spirit. 2011, whatever you have in store for me, the Scruffs are ready!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
