Ummmm…it’s 2010! I realize that it has been 2010 for nearly a week already but the fact that it’s 2010 means that we are no longer having a baby next year…it means that we are having a baby THIS year. And not only are we having a baby this year…but are due to have a baby in less than two months! Does anyone else find this altogether too strange?!?!
If I were superstitious, which I sometimes can be, and considered the rolling over of the new year to be a direct reflection of the year to come, then ours will be one of total laziness (which, as indulgent as that sounds, I highly doubt is going to be the case!!)! Steve and I enjoyed a much needed date for our new year’s eve which included a movie, the final shootout between the Canada and U.S. junior hockey teams (you’re still golden in my eyes Canada!) and an uneventful countdown in bed with our books and our favourite feline. It was delightful! Steve then spent all of new year’s day on the couch finishing his book while I sat in the dining room with Michael Buble as we did an online recap of the year gone by! Oh, and it also included pancakes with whipped cream!!! Again…delightful!
The irony of all this though is that it’s been my only lazy day since! I have not seen even the slightest glimpse of laziness since new year’s day came to an end! Part of it is certainly my own doing given that I feel the idea to be as organized as possible now in order to better handle the inevitable chaos later but nonetheless…I am up to four to-do lists! FOUR! Isn’t there rules against stuff like that?!?!
All this to say that I haven’t forgotten about you blog land…I’m just multi-tasking…with a vengeance!
In the meantime, I’m putting together a playlist in order to promote the musical education of our son…and I’m open to suggestions!
Bring it…

Love the lyrics.
Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed
I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed
And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed
I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed
