Happy New Year!

This has been a wonderful long weekend of doing...pretty much as little as possible. I didn't realize how much I needed a weekend like this. Ted and I rang in the New Year sound asleep thanks to two nights in a row of multiple wake ups by Miss K. By New Year's Even I was exhausted (small taste of this April??) and we were in bed quite early. We figured out that the cause of the wake ups was because Katherine was kicking the covers off of her bed and getting cold. On top of that the vents in her room were blowing directly on her. So some cover adjustment and two vent deflectors later we are once again sleeping soundly.

The highlight of our weekend has to be: Yup our brand spanking new La-Z-Boy arrived on Saturday. Ted has spent most of his time there ever since. However, this purchase was my insistence and not his...surprised? A few years ago we wandered into the store, mainly looking for a sleeper sofa for the former TV room (which we never bought) and along the way we test drove a few recliners. Well, my first thought after one sit down was to wonder why we didn't have one of these when Katherine was a baby. Wow, 2am would have been that much easier with a comfy recliner to rock and feed and sleep in. So as soon as we found out we were pregnant again I was insistent on one thing...we were getting a La-Z-Boy (yeah, I know what you're thinking, Ted just protested left and right over that one!). Last weekend Ted and I snuck out for a bit to look. I think we gave every chair in the place the tush test until we settled on one that made both of us happy. We were all ready to take it home that day but unfortunately we found out that La-Z-Boy doesn't do that anymore...you have to pay for delivery. I could go on about what I am sure is a huge money maker for them now but I won't, wasn't much I could do about it anyway. So a week later our new rocker recliner arrived.

Right now it's sitting in the living room in front of the fireplace. We need to do a bit of furniture rearranging before it's in its final home and there's also the possibility that it may move upstairs for those newborn months. But right now, well, we're tickled with it.

Here's to 2010!!! I'm working on an update to last year's New Year's Goals post, time to revisit and revise! But in the meantime, I don't know about you, but it feels great to be in a new year!
