It’s that time again – time for reflection and resolutions. Time to say goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010. A new year, a new decade, new adventures to come.
I really can’t complain too much about 2009. After all, this was the year I got pregnant! I am so overjoyed to be entering 2010, the year The Accountant and I become mommies. Throughout our Xmas preparations and celebrations, I couldn’t help but think about next year – when we’d be doing it all with our little boy, as a family of three.
There’s so much to look forward to in 2010. But for now, I’d like to take a look back at all that happened in ’09:
– I thought about having a baby. A lot.
– I spent a month being unemployed and found a new job.
– I discovered the joy of cooking in advance.
– I saw equal marriage rights become a reality in Iowa, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire. And sadly, watched our victory be taken away in Maine and California.
– I reflected on my own wonderful marriage.
– The Accountant and I spruced up our back porch and second bedroom.
– We had a whirlwind summer, with a wonderful week spent in Provincetown, a trip to Newport, and a trip to the country to see family.
– I celebrated some of my “New Gay Heroes.”
– The Accountant and I embarked on trying to get me pregnant, and were incredibly fortunate to have success right away!
– We found out that we are having a boy, and started taking the first steps to buy our first home.
So what about that resolution? Well, I’m not too big on formal resolutions, but with all that we have coming in the next 12 months, I want to remember to enjoy it. Yes, there will be stresses a-plenty as we buy a home, become parents, and adjust to living on one income, but it’s everything that we’ve been working towards and waiting for, and I just want to remember to take a look around enjoy it all whenever I can.
Sincere wishes for a healthy and happy New Year, from my home to yours.

I think I may have posted a comment a while ago. If I didn’t, I certainly thought about it. If I did, then I assume some of this is repeated information. Sorry.
I came across your blog via [redacted website] quite a while ago. I am not sure what about your blog really attracted my attention, but something kept me coming back. Then, I guess I got distracted by my LO and by life in general. When I finally stopped back in, I discovered your exciting news and unlocked blogs (I had previously requested the password).
Anyway, after another hiatus, I am back and so so happy for you.
You and the Accountant sound like the exact people who should be having babies and raising kids in this crazy world. Good luck to you! I hope you continue to enjoy the pregnancy and the wonderful bundle life is getting ready to bring you. Good luck with the move and the green paint color is lovely.
I look forward to continued reading!

Haha. just found my last comment. I guess I HAVE posted here before! oops. So now I just sound like a stalker! I’m not. Just happy for you and think you guys sound like some quality people and good mommas. Now I will remember that I’ve commented here so you won’t have to go back through this again next time I want to congratulate you on that little boy. =)
