2011 has been most challenging, especially the last 3 months. Now I know why they say the transition from 1 child to 2 kids is the toughest! And I have newfound respect for families with more than 2 kids. There is totally zilch me time. And I have not had time for my yearly rebounding ritual. I can't afford more than 3 hours at the salon now so say "hi" to unruly hair for now!
So what are some of my more memorable moments this year?
1. Pregnancy
I had forgotten how it was like since my last pregnancy was 3 years ago! I remember telling an ex colleague previously that I will miss being pregnant. I guess I will still say the same thing now. Being so connected to the baby, feeling every movement (ok maybe not every..), every ultrasound scan, the excitement of finding out the baby's gender et cetra, are so precious!
2. Lincoln starts school
Although it was horrible at first as he had much problems adjusting to school, I can safely say he enjoys school now. Minus all the initial adjustments, cranky and insecure behaviour, it is really one of the best things to happen.
3. Leanne's arrival
Truly blessed with a precious daughter, who is really such a dear to look after. She is an incredibly easy baby and very sweet. I believe she is trying to talk to me already! But more on that in another post!
4. Importance of family and friends
Finding time to spend with friends is even tougher now with 2 kids. But it's something I definitely don't want to give up. As for family, their support (especially practical ones!) are really priceless and so so crucial.
I start 2012 with greater responsibility and hopes. God, help me!
