hi!
so, i am now 38 weeks and 2 days (who's counting?). this means that i could have this little stinker any day now - 38 to 42 weeks is the norm. so, we wait.
with every twinge or pain, i feel myself being a little more aware...
in the last 2 weeks, it has been a busy household, with christmas, and other commitments, appointments, sickness, and even a debacle with our dog, luda. it has been cray-cray around here. so, with christmas over, and sickness almost (please god) gone, i am ready to get back to posting.
this post is all about the last year. in fact, one year ago today, nick and i were in paris together - and on this very day, he proposed to me! it was magical, and i will never forget it. now if anyone would have told me what was going to happen during this year, i would have NEVER believed them...things were SO different then! i will paint you a picture...
last year, nick and i lived together in los angeles. we had just moved out of our massive downtown loft and studio traded that for a much slower and quieter pasadena house. we were enjoying our simple-ish lives together, with minimal responsibility to anyone other than to each other and our fur baby, luda (sounds disgusting - i am aware). as i mentioned, we had come to europe for the holidays - and a surprise trip to paris left us engaged and bright-eyed heading into the new year. i came home to boxes in our new house, luda, and without nick. it sucked, but he had to wait for his visa so he could return to america. i had a work trip planned in costa rica the last week of january, and the day i left, was the day he came home - we actually spent 2 hours together at the denny's by lax before having to part again. the rest of the year was a lot of travel for both of us - nick's band touring, and me going places to work...oh yeah, and MOVING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!
so i started the year 29, without child, and engaged - in america, and finished the year 30, knocked up, married, and living in england. wtf?! so crazy, and i have never been happier. well, i am super stressed at the moment, but i am genuinely happy. happy with what my life and future look like, with the man that i truly love, who puts up with my shit, and compliments me in every way - my shortcomings are his strengths, and vice versa. i am having a baby - I AM HAVING A BABY!!!! and am so excited (terrified) to become a mommy, i can't even tell you.
anyway, so it was a huge year, a crazy year. looking forward to what 2011 brings. here is a wrap up of 2010 in pictures...
