Next year at this time...

I can't help looking ahead right now. Over the holidays it was so easy to think about what would be going on next year at this time. How much everything will change. We will have around a 5 month old to share our holidays with. It's amazing and really puts things in perspective. The ends DEFINITELY justify the means. The nausea, the tiredness, the food adversions and cravings, and anything yet to come won't matter once I get to hold my peanut in my arms.

Things are getting better. I stayed up until midnight on New Year's Eve. We spent it with my parents (although dad had to leave for work at 10:00). We went out to dinner with my Aunt and uncle to Texas Roadhouse - always a great place to eat. I had steak - normally I could take or leave steak - on Saturday it tasted heavenly and I ate every last bite. Then we went over to a friends house for a little while. When we got back home we played games, had some snacks and rang in the New Year with sparkling Cider and Dick Clark (poor man). Now I guess it is back to reality with no more holidays in site. Happy New Year everyone, and Happy New Year peanut - I can't wait until later this year when I can meet you!
