1. WIDTW #14: Beautiful acoustic music

This is Mr. Jensen. He’s the world’s coolest neighbor.

Yes please.

On an end note I wish for a fantastic 2012 where we will welcome our second child into the world in May.

2011 Wishes & Goals > My 2011

And not because it’s exhausting in the most wonderful way but because of the fact that every time you blink once; BAM! There goes a whole week. And what do you know, there goes 2011!? “Honey, are you sure that Christmas is next week? I mean THE Christmas? And where did you put the baby? Oh, never mind. She just walked by me and said Hi.” I can’t even begin to recap how much has happened this year and how much I’ve already forgot. I feel completely senile as I’m sitting here, going though my calendar and all of my posts from 2011 but the funny part is that I’m so much more entertained when I read about some of the crazy shit that’s been going on in our lives. For example I totally forgot about the day the laws of psychics discontinued and some dude’s kid sneezed 5 feet up and into my mouth. Priceless memories..

My 2011 looked a little like this..;

• I managed to once again neglect this blog so that 2011 goal about pulling my ass together didn’t exactly work out. I will try again this year and hopefully you guys (the 3 of you) will continue to put up with me.
• I spent about half of the year on maternity leave and I was definitely going a little crazy at some points.
• The lack of ability to drink coffee (hi, post-preggy hormones!)  resulted in me taking up my old coke habit but I managed to drop it as well as the last baby weight, a 2011 goal, and I kept up my training schedule.
• I did actually get better at ignoring my inner control/neat freak, dropping everything, letting go and just enjoying time with Willow. I’ll continue to try to improve this.
• I didn’t get The Remote so I am going to save up for it. What I did get is a deeelicious backpack for all my photography gear from Kev, for my last birthday so no complaints!
• If someone asks about my portfolio I have NO IDEA of what they’re talking about. I visited my Flickr on Christmas and saw that the last upload I had was from before Willow was born. HOW SAD IS THAT. That being said, the portfolio is actually in the works. I “only” have to make time for the final touches but the orders for pictures come first so. Yeah. I wished for more time for photography. I didn’t get it. But I got more time with the man I love and that’s priceless.
• On August 10th we had to call it an end for our pup Nico. I had a hard time getting over the fact that I had to take his life. I still do.
• The night after we lost grandma Maja.
• The week after that I tested positive and we had confirmation that we had succeeded in getting pregnant with our second little Miracle!! Sadly Maja didn’t live to enjoy the news.
• We took another crazy ride in November when Willow was diagnosed with asthma and my father in-law was diagnosed and then undiagnosed with cancer.
• In December we took our first trip to Egypt and got some much needed sunshine!
• I got a little less shitty at the whole cooking thing. Well, at my attitude at least. And we put a stop to the food waste we had. YAY!

-Speaking of attitudes, I took a lot into this quote;

1. My 2010
2. WIDTW #19: Wait… What!?
3. Quickies, diapers and wait, what was the last one?

So baby was all about flashing its acrobatic talents but not his/her gender as much. But it looks like a baby girl! We have no preferences as long as the baby is healthy. Everything looked perfect in the ultrasound so we’re incredibly exited and impatient for baby to finish growing so (s)he can come out and meet us!!
We are going to have en extra ultrasound to be 100% sure on the baby’s gender -planning, decorating and all, but until then we are expecting a precious little girl!

I really have no idea what to do with all this happiness! Where do I put it? There’s no more room!

1. Life’s (two) little Miracles
2. Sweet baby feet
3. Loosing fur

The most amazing thing has happened. I have no idea what the doctors were thinking but it turns out that my father in-law doesn’t have cancer at all!!
He is still ill though and needs to undergo thorough examinations and possibly surgery again but he is cancer free!! I can’t believe how lucky we are!
