I cannot believe it's 2011.
As I said in my last entry 2010 was an amazing year for me. I became a mummy to my gorgeous boy in March. Just five days before my son was born I became an aunty to my squishy nephew :)
My resolutions for last year were for my son and nephew to arrive safely and healthy. I also said that I wanted to fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans before the year was up. I achieved this at 6 months post baby when my skinny jeans fit once again!
2011. I'm not sure about resolutions because I've wanted these things since the end of 2010. I want my son to continue to be happy and healthy. He's my world and I tell him how much he means to me every day. I want to beat my ppd. I also want my sister to have a healthy little baby in August. Ideally with an easy pregnancy and a straight forward delivery. (I'm sure she'll do amazing - she had N au natural).

I return to work in March and it feels so close now. 2 months away. I know I've been lucky to have a 14 month stretch off work. A years maternity leave with a month of annual leave on either side of it. I'm lucky in that I'm only returning to work part time. I'll only be leaving my wee guy for 4.5 hours at a time but I feel horrible about it. (My shift is 4 hours and I'm allowing 15 minutes to get to and from work). Since I'm a single mummy he spends all his time with me so I'm thinking/trying to convince myself that it will do him good to have some time away from me. It's not like he's going to some strange, new place. My sister is going to look after him for three of the days so I'm sure he'll have loads of fun and he'll have N to play with. When my sister said she was pregnant I said that I would find a childminder but she really wants to look after bug. I said when she is a bit further on in her pregnancy when it's too much I can find a childminder then but she thinks it will be good for N, especially when the new baby arrives. Obviously it's early days and if it's a bit much I'll be able to find a childminder - at least if it comes to it later on, bug will be used to me working and will, hopefully, understand that I always come back for him. I'm so lucky to have an amazing sister. I've said to her that once the new baby arrives I'll be able to take N out with bug even one afternoon a week and make a big fuss over him :)
So that's work. Hopefully won't be as bad as I'm expecting! I'm not going to think about it too much and make the most of my last 2 full months off with my gorgeous boy.
I don't think much else is happening. bug's sleep is improving but as it's getting late (9:25pm is late for me when I live on broken sleep!) I'll leave that for another day :)
Still cannot believe it's really 2011!
