Catching Up

It's been a whole six months since I've written a blog! There's a few excuses as to why..the move, the being busy, the rebuilding old friendships and making new ones. And another reason is my journal. I found some of my old journals and I loved reading through them so much that I started journaling on old fashioned paper again. There's something to not have to filter and censor yourself as well.
But, I've decided to revisit blogging. I mean, it's the thing to do these days right? Logan is so talented and learning so many new things at this fun and amazing age it's nice to be able to share it with other people. Maybe I'll actually try not to censor myself so much?
Logan just turned 1. What a year it's been! I feel so privileged that not only have I been able to stay with him this entire year, he has also been breastfeed these whole 12 months. Now that he's one we're supposed to be able to introduce milk. But, Logan seems to have milk allergy so we need to see the Dr to see what we can do in place of milk. But, since I'm still not working or anything for now we're able to keep up on breastfeeding.

There might be some changes in the Betts family near future so stay tuned.

Reflecting on Twenty Ten

2010

what.a.year.

I loved being pregnant. I was so anxious and excited to meet my baby. To find out what I would be having and to experience being a mom for the first time.
I was so proud of myself to give birth naturally and have an amazing and beautiful baby boy. We were so very blessed to discover the bilateral club foot he was diagnosed with in utero was not nearly as bad as they predicted. Rather mild in fact.
This has been the best year of my life because never have I had so much love in my heart.
Sure, parenthood has come with it's financial struggles.
Jeremy works so hard, and puts so much pressure on himself to care for his family. Never once has he spoken negatively, or ever made me feel bad about my decision to be a stay at home mom. Instead he praises it.
In 2010 I finally stopped being such a hermit and reconnected with some dear friends. I can only hope that 2011 lets those friendships grow stronger.
There's big changes coming in 2011. A new house, new opportunities, hopefully less stress and more well being.
Thank you to all my friends and family for being in my life. I can't wait to see what 2011 brings us!
