1/1/2010 First of all, my dear Norah is still sleeping (it's 8:30!), so it's a great start to the new year. She has given me the chance to pick up the house, have 2 cups of coffee, watch the today show, read a devotional, check my facebook and my email and catch up on my good friends blogs that I haven't read for a couple of weeks...incredible! (Don't get too excited, she didn't sleep through the night, she woke up countless times, but when she woke up at 6, I decided to try and feed her and put her back to sleep, and it actually worked) Little girl was TIRED....lots of playing with new toys lately.
Second of all I thought I would share some goals of mine for the new year 2010. How the heck are we supposed to say 2010 by the way. Two thousand ten. Twenty Ten.....hmmm.
To focus on being a great wife. It's easy in new motherhood to focus on my adorable baby girl all the time and not focus enough on my adorable hubby. So I'm going to work on being a great wife to my husband of nearly 5 years, yippee!!
To read more scripture. I don't have much time...but if I have time for facebook and blogging I'm sure I have time to read God's word.
To get Norah sleeping better so I can sleep....and by sleep I mean in my bed, not on a floor, not in broken bits and pieces throughout the day, but sleep for 6 hours straight, in my lovely bed. This task is as you know, my ongoing everpresent thought. I know it's going to take some work and less sleep at first. For some reason, I kept thinking that she might just start sleeping through the night on her own. And I've come to realize, like most things so far in parenting, it's just not that easy.
To be optimistic, hopeful, and enjoy the blessings I do have. For me, it's so easy to focus on what could go wrong. I wish I weren't that way. Part of my thinks I like to be aware of the worst scenario so I'm not let down when I don't get the best scenario. I am so blessed. I really am. I have so much to be thankful for and to be optimistic about and to be hopeful for. So in 2010 I really want to be full of HOPE. Not worry, not concern, not stress, not doubt, but HOPE.
To continue eating healthier even when I don't have to. I am confined to a fairly healthy diet right now with no dairy and limited processed stuff. I hope to continue eating this way. I will definitely add some stuff back in, but I think we all eat too much processed junk and dairy anyways. So, I hope I have the willpower to do so when it only affects me. Right now, it's easy to do because it makes Norah feel better, we'll see how well I do when it's just for me.
To continue nourishing the relationships in my life. I have wonderful family and friends. I really want to nourish those friendships and relationships that I cherish....the most important things in life aren't things.
To take more pictures. This may seem ridiculous to most of you because you've seen a million pics of Norah this year. But I go through spurts, and take too many blurry pics with my phone. I need to keep my camera out and catch all of these special moments that will soon pass by.
To improve on my procrastinating. umm...I'll write more about this later.
some blooper photos.
