The New Year is here! Yeah! Our baby is not here yet! Booo!
For those of you who don't know or haven't guessed, I am not a big fan of pregnancy. I wish I could embrace it and be proud of what my body can do. And I actually can almost convince myself to feel that way for about 8 weeks of my pregnancy--right after horrible nausea and just before grotesquely huge belly takes over. This pregnancy has been difficult. Nauseous for the first 19 or 20 weeks, then respite, and now back pain and insomnia for the last two months that has limited my activity. I do NOT like limits to my activity. But, if I walk around a little too much one day, the next day or two I can't put weight on my right leg without horrible pain, so. Enough ranting and raving about pregnancy. At least you get miserable enough to WANT to go through labor! We are so excited to welcome our new baby girl. SOON, Lord, please!
New Year's Resolutions:
1. Don't get pregnant again
2. Definitely avoid pregnancy
3. Have this baby (I always like to include at least one resolution I can't break)
3. Enjoy the great gift of this new baby while continuing to relish my two previous babies!
4. Beach Body for June beach week - Hah! Maybe just buy that slimming suit from Lands End.
5. Strengthen - spirit, mind, body
6. Encourage friends and family more often and more intentionally.
7. The book list. With its usual carry over from last years list. Sigh. I get so distracted.
What are your New Year's Resolutions?

Some of my resolutions are the same! Like one and two. But your dad and I are going to read through the bible in the next TWO years. We figured that was doable and would leave us enough time to read other things, too - maybe even do some journalling on what we learn.
He has a wonderful New Century Version bible that has a devotional every day showing which verses to read, etc. As you know, Max Lucado has written so many outstanding books; well, parts of his works are all through the devotional columns - for our spiritual enjoyment.
Anyone else want to jump in to this great challenge?
I love that two of your resolutions have to do with not getting pregnant. I hear you! I love my three, but am so looking forward to getting to Jack's 1st birthday without being pregnant, a first for me!
mmmm, i think you just made that list because you knew you could meet so many of the goals. Kudos to you for setting attainable ones. :)
