2009 was one of those cruisey years for me as I didn't have much to worry about or any milestones I had achieved besides moving into my new house. I guess to someone that would mean a BIG step...but it is something I am still getting used to and trying to enjoy. I have not settled in entirely yet, as there are boxes and rubbish in every corner still waiting to be sorted. How can a house make you happy and frustrated at the same time! It is now January 2010 and we are glad to have achieved clearing up the 3rd room for Sofia. Now the challenge is to make her sleep in her own bed, besides in between mummy and daddy.

I find myself frustrated at spending money without any real cause. I really want to focus on saving up for a new car or paying off the mortgage to increase our living space. I guess there is all this feeling to 'nest' as I await the arrival of my second baby. Yes...you heard it...I am expecting no.2! I feel 2010 will definitely be another challenge for F & I as we try to run our increasing brood of mix racial kids. They will be 3 years apart and we are hoping for a boy...but not phased if we have another girl. As Sofia's smaller clothes will save us money. But can't a boy wear pink? It'll be great anyway to see Sofia have a play buddy.

I'm currently training Sofia to go to the toilet and that is driving me nuts, with her refusing to even change her nappy when it is gross. YUCK! But all these fights we go back to being normal. Sofia still calls herself 'baby' and I am trying to change that by telling her there is someone else in the belly and she will upgrade to a 'jaijai' or 'big sis'. My intention is to hopefully have 2 kids...but see how I feel in a couple of years time whether I shall turn 'clucky' again.

My friends are still without kids, and I kinda feel more isolated and different from their way of planning. But we still remain close as we understand each other...everyone in life has their own separate journey. One thing I really find difficult is disclosing the baby news to people at work, especially in my team. It's strange how once you start having babies people think you are incapable of being a high performing employee. Therefore I am really thinking about what I should do with my maternity leave, 6 months or a year? Would they remember me after a year? It's silly to think this way...cuz it is the future...it is 2010! But cmon...these prejudices will always be hanging about...it is human nature.

I have so much to say since I haven't typed in a while. I'm glad to say that Shel has finally come back to Perth after working up in Pt Hedland for 5 years. She is living in an inner city apartment with her long time bf...just waiting for her to plan her wedding in Bali so I can look forward to a holiday! :) I must say the Christmas and NY holidays are never long enough...I found the first week back the hardest. One of the reasons is because of the tiredness that comes with carrying another human being around, hormones and needing to constantly snack. I think they are getting suspicious at work...but I'm just waiting for someone to walk up to me and say 'Are you pregnant?'. Should I play it out...not say anything...and grow huge week after week until I get a reaction?? That would be so much fun. It's one of those awkward things no one wants to broach... LOL!
