Happy New Year! It's 2009!

It doesn't seem like nine years have passed since Y2K, but obviously it has. This year has definitely flown by. I'm so over making resolutions with every new year, but I will take a moment...just a moment to reflect over my 2008.

This has been the best, hardest, happiest, most tiring, most emotionally taxing, sweetest, most productive, most sleepless year of my life. Since February 19th, everything in my life has come second to taking care of my newborn son. He had a minor medical issue when he was born--you'd never know it if you met him, but we have the medical bills to prove it. I quit my job to stay at home with him, which was the best decision I've ever made in my life. I'm so glad I get to spend so much time with him. I'd be miserable if I had to leave him to go to work, I'm sure of it. It's been difficult and exciting getting to know myself as a mom, and getting to know my husband as a father. It's been good--the fighting, the making up, the frustrations, the overwhelming feelings of love for our son and our family, the growing up. I look forward to another year of this family business and perhaps adding another member soon.

Aside from getting to review beauty products for Clinique (OMG y'all I'm so excited about this!), not much else bloggable happened with me this year. I know y'all are probably babied out here this year, but it's my life right now, you know? Whatayagonnado?

Happy New Year!

I didn't know he had a minor medical issue when he was born. The nurse in me is kinda... no... VERY curious to know what it was.

Thanks, GC.

Rece, somehow I knew you would ask for details. ;)
