August: Very pregnant. Very. Hoping for an early delivery. Didn't happen. Stayed very pregnant. And hot.
September: Introduced Baby John to the world on September 11th.
The delivery was uncomplicated. Yay. Not quite as fast as Paul's, but still fairly quick. I'd like to say painless, but that wouldn't be true.
The rest of September is a blur. There were lots of kids involved. And diapers. I think I ate and did a lot of laundry as well.
October: Life became a little clearer. Our new family of 5 starting figuring things out. We had Paul's 2nd birthday.
It was a dog-themed party. My favorite part was the birthday cake.
November: Family trip to Disneyland. We went with the grandparents, so Mr. D and I actually got to ride some "big kids" rides. We had a nice time enjoying the park before our annual passes expired.
December: Well, we all know what December is all like... especially with little kids. Presents, tinsel, lights, bows, and fun.
Mr D and I celebrated our "Craigslist Christmas". We decided that our gifts for each other all had to come from Craigslist (we are admitted junkies to the site). It was a lot of fun to track down good gifts and the barter a bit for the best prices. Next year, I told him, we should make it that all the gifts have to come from the "free section" of Craigslist. Kidding. Maybe.
And now. January. The decorations are down. The cookies are eaten (and on my hips), and I am regrouping the troops again. Getting a routine going. Or at least envisioning. This is the month to start fresh. Let's go 2011. Let's hope that maybe I will post a bit more to actually document what is going on with Sara @ Home.
