Happy New Year (belated)

Here are some xmas pics for your viewing pleasure! As you can see from the 1st pic xmas was way too much work. The 2nd pic was gift opening at my mom's. And the last pic was xmas morning at our house. (If I am remembering correctly-he was abandoning his pile of gifts for the dog food bowl that I forgot to pick up!)

I hate New Year resolutions. I try every year not to make some crazy promise to myself that will never come to pass. However I couldn't help but look over at my son sleeping in his crib & think of him. Things I need to do & change for him.

I really need to get my pcos under control. I'm at such a high risk for diabetes & with my MTHFR I doubled my chances for strokes & blood clots. I also can't help but wonder if any of this shit has to do with my kidneys. (Which, btw, have started hurting on a regular basis again!) I know I need to call the dr about them but I so, so, so hate Dukey! They may be one of the top ten hospitals in the US, but in my opinion they suck. I have had such horrible experiences there. My husband,on the other hand, loves them & I mean lurve! He spent 2 years in their burn unit when he was little. They saved his life, for that I am grateful, but I have a feeling a lot has changed since the 70's. Anywhoo, I have put myself on the diabetes diet. I am already on metformin due to my insulin resistance so the diet, I'm hoping, can only help control the pcos symptoms.

I'm so hoping that 2008 is a year of great things to come. I entered 2007 so nervous that I'd lose my boy. I still wasn't sure he make it even after I heard his cry. I've spent a lot of nights checking his breathing & so has my husband. Well let me rephrase, my husband wakes me & asks me to go check on him. So between the two of us I don't think I'll ever sleep through the night again!

This past year, once he was born, has flown by. I can't believe he'll be 10 months old tomorrow. I already need to start planning his birthday. I know that sounds crazy since I have 2 months, but I'm an Italian yankee & every party has to be big & impressive & contain way too much food! I don't know how to throw a party any other way. (Which reminds me again that I owe you a Christening post.)

Well here's to 2008! I'm hoping everyones wishes come true this year!
