It’s hard to believe that 2010 is really upon us.

Is it just me that thinks the whole ‘TWENTY TEN’ thing sounds really futuristic… like the date from a sci-fi movie. In fact, wasn’t the future in ‘Back to the Future’ some time around 2015 which means we’re only years away from floating around on hover boards?!
Mr. LA and I did so much in 2009, both as a family and individually. It’s been pretty insane really! Here are some of the personal highlights from our year.

• Being pregnant – I spent almost exactly half of 2009 with child! The beginning of my pregnancy were pretty tough but by the end of January I started to feel a bit more human. Here are some of my favourite bump pictures, taken at 25, 29 and about 38/39 weeks.
• Finishing university and getting a 1st – Best. Feeling. Ever. 3 years of hard work and determination eventually paid off. Can’t wait for my graduation ceremony in a few weeks.

• My baby (pictured here at less than 24 hrs old. I included the baby toes because, unlike adult feet, they are unbelievably gorgeous!) – It sounds cheeezy, but my children are everything to me. I had been longing for another baby for quite a while and Jesse’s arrival has made me feel incredibly happy and complete. My eldest daughter’s 1st day at primary school also registered as one of the proudest day’s of my life as a mother so far.

• Blogging – What started as a mere distraction from the monotony of late pregnancy has come to be one of my favourite activities. I love reading other people’s blogs and writing my own posts. It’s a great way to unwind after a hard day of playing the dutiful housewife and helps me keep sight of the person I am beyond all the dirty nappies and baby talk.

Happy New Year everyone and lets hope that 2010 manages to be even better than last year!
