And how totally different it will be! I'm writing this as Mal takes the Christmas tree down, Buddy is at the top of the stairs (views all boxes as open coffins- there's a cardboard box that the tree will be packed into) and Mal Jr is on the floor in his playgym.
I've had a lovely 2 weeks of Christmas and New Year. Mal has been off work all this time and I will really miss him when he goes back.
My goals for 2009 are:
To feed Mal Jr until 6 months so then I can train to be a Breastfeeding Counsellor.
To do small crafty-style things and put them on ebay to make some cash.
To get the house in order (dishwasher out of the dining room and plumbed in where it should be!)
To help Buddy to be a little less nervous
To become a better photographer
To lose the baby-lard. Around about 2 stone would be ideal. I don't want to be skinny, just the size I was before Mal Jr occupied parts of me.
I think that's enough to be getting on with now.
Happy New Year!
