New Year's Realizations

I don't make New Year's resolutions, however, this year I guess I had some realizations (some rather insignificant and some rather significant). As for the insignificant - I realized Nina's hair is now long enough to fit into a pony tail, and when she wears her hair in a pony tail, we think she looks so much different - much more grown up. As one who wears pony tails a lot, realizing that my daughter and I can now wear the same hair style struck me as a bit funny. As for the more significant realization - our second child is due to arrive two months from today, and with Feb. being a short calendar month, things are coming around pretty quickly now. I went for my dr. appt. yesterday, and they reminded me that they'll now be seeing me every two weeks and to be sure I had registered with the hospital for the birth. Yikes! Where has the time gone? Anyway, we've got much to do before baby #2 arrives, both in preparing #1 for #2 and in preparing our home and ourselves for a newborn again, so I guess it's a good thing this year that the New Year's realizations hit when they did! Hopefully 2008 will be a great year for all!!!
