Usually at this time of year I do a bit of a summary of the year that was (I didn’t last year as I was too sick to get to the blog). I think there is really only one thing to say about 2010 for me. Nina! Last night Martin and I actually tried to think of things that happened last year that weren’t related to her. A few lame things were mentioned (not really worth mentioning again) but for me pretty much everything her. So 2010 was the year that Nina came into our world. I carried her in my stomach for 9 months and she made me sick and uncomfortable and that was before the journey of trying to get her out but she is all worth it. Getting to know her this year has been such a joy over the last 4 months, even if it’s exhausting.

In fact so exhausting that last night was the first New Year’s Eve that I can remember actually being in bed before midnight. Martin and I got some yummy take away from the noodle box, had a candlelit dinner and reflected on the year (Nina kindly went to sleep early enough for us to do this). Then we watched “tomorrow when the war began” and (like a lot of others on the feed it seems) were in bed at about 10.30. At about 2am when Nina woke we said a quick Happy New Year to each other and then went back to sleep. It wasn’t the most exciting New Year’s Eve but it was really, really nice. I think I really needed a break from the hecticness that NYE usually is.

Happy New Year Everyone. I hope you will all be abundantly blessed in the year to come.
