2) What was your favorite moment of the year? When we welcomed Tinyman to the world!
3) What was your least favorite moment of the year?
The death of my great-aunt whom we lovingly called Keresztmama, my father's godmother.
4) Where were you when 2009 began? At home with E & Babyman - don't remember if Babyman was awake or not. Probably awake and being difficult about going to bed!
6) Where were you when 2009 ended? At home with E, Babyman & Tinyman, only this time Babyman was sleeping and Tiny was awake with us to watch the ball drop.
7) Who were you with when 2009 ended? E & Tinyman
8) Did you keep your new years resolution of 2009?
No but I have a surprise pregnancy and a new addition to "blame" for that, lol! It's hard to simplify life when you add in a new little one, but it's been a fun challenge.
9) Do you have a new years resolution for 2010? A few so far… need to put them down on paper or blog them so they become real.
10) Did you fall in love in 2009? Nope, stayed in love
11) Do you regret it?
I certainly don't regret staying in love, that would be silly!

17) How many different states did you travel to in 2009? New York and Pennsylvania, and I think that's it. Like I said, not much travel - it's a lot of work to travel with two babymen.
18) Did you lose anybody close to you in 2009? Yes, my great-aunt right before Thanksgiving.
19) Did you miss anybody in the past year? Friends from college and high school, keeping up with everyone via Facebook helps but it isn't the same.

Being brave through an emergency c-section, my first major surgery and something I really didn't want to happen.
33) What was your most embarrassing moment of 2009? I try to block those embarassing moments!
34) If you could go back in time to any moment of 2009 and change something what would it be? Trying to do more with Babyman during the summer, despite how uncomfortable I was when I was pregnant.
35) What are your plans for 2010? Spending time with my babymen, as much as possible. Getting my own business up and running so that I can stay home with those babymen!

My horoscope

I haven't read my horoscope in a really long time.  For some reason I decided to take a look at it today on my "My Yahoo" page.  This is what it said:

Someone interesting -- no, absolutely fascinating -- is right around the corner, just dying to meet you. You, of course, are always game for different folks -- especially the kinds who have brains. So when this new person arrives, you'll probably want to clear your schedule and make sure you have time to spend with them. Do it! Oh, and don't be surprised if this thing goes on well into the coming weekend, too. Enjoy!


Well tomorrow we'll be scheduling an induction for the new baby to be born.  I'd say that's a fascinating new person to meet who is also dying to me meet me, wouldn't you say?

Missing In Action

My has it been a long time! You can tell things got rather busy around here, can't you? It all really started with baby man's birthday party invitations. Once those were done we moved into planning the party, then making the cake (which I think took about four days), then the party itself. Add on top of that a trip to Long Island, a weekend in Edison and Staten Island, a couple of visits to Monmouth Park, and mix in baby man music classes and trips to the park and the indoor playground at the mall and we've been busy! Of course that also takes into account the days of exhaustion surrounding all that activity.

The summer is going quickly, and while that's a good thing, I'm getting a bit stressed about being ready for the new baby. Our plan is to move things around in the basement (almost done) and then move my office to the basement (not started), then move E's office to my office (not started) and make E's office the new baby's room. And it hit me that this week we're 32 weeks along! That means 8 weeks left, if we go to term (which I don't expect to... just a gut feeling). Now it all would be a bit easier if baby man wasn't so clingy these days, but he just won't let us out of his sight, and even when we're still in his sight he needs to be in the same room. So he will stand and cry at the gate to my office. So the logical step would be to do things during nap time, right? Yeah, it would be if nap time happened regularly, lol. But sometimes nap time will only take place in the car, or (more likely these days) Mommy and baby man take a nap together. So that leaves night time, when he's in bed. Again that would work if he went to bed before 10pm and we weren't wiped out by the time he's asleep! Lol - it's all a challenge these days. Today was a huge exception to the rule - Baby Man fell asleep in my lap at 7:45 and didn't take too much prodding to fall back asleep when I got him up to his crib. Of course that was because his only nap of the day was about 45 minutes long, if that. I can't say what the night will bring because usually the night after a fairly nap-free day isn't usually a restful one.

Anywho, that's the very quick update in a nutshell of where I've been! Not much crafting has been taking place, in fact the last thing I created was the thank you card for Baby Man's birthday presents. All of which are still sitting, waiting to be written. Terrible, I know. I feel awful about it and will be working on them tonight as soon as I get off the computer. But I did feel the need to jump at the chance to have some computer time while Baby Man sleeps and E is out at wrestling. (Speaking of E - he just got home.)

So let's get to the good stuff.... some highlight pictures of the past few months! (Pictures to be added shortly)
