The 12 Agbeke Days of Christmas

I must give credit where it is due. This was not my original idea. I stole it from my friend Carina at Long Winded in the Windy City I may not be as creative as her, but at least I give her credit.

ONE baby born this year: 2/28/2010

TWO days a week doing an internship (and then two days in class).

THREE cars we now have. We bought a used CRV about a month ago. I never thought I would have a car this nice. The best part about it... I now have FOUR DOORS!

FOUR years at DSS: This is my work friend a Kathy. She keeps me up to date on things since I am not in the office everyday anymore. This was taken on my last day of work before maternity leave, and the day before I went into labor.

FIVE K training: No, really. I want to train for a 5K. I started out good and sort of slacked off on my training. I am hoping to be in shape to do one by the time Cara turns one year. That means about 2 months. I think I can do it. Here is my running buddy (Confession: I took this picture today, when I didn't even run. Why did I dress my baby in a snowsuit when she didn't go outside? To get a picure for the blog, of course!)

SIX months of nursing: I won't post a picture of this, for modesty sake. I will probably write a longer post at some point on this, but suffice it to say that I was very disappointed I was only able to nurse Cara for 6 months.

SEVEN seconds it takes for Cara to get a leaf and put it in her mouth. She even gets the leaves off the floor in the living room. She also likes paper, strings, lint, pretty much anything that is not supposed to be eaten.

EIGHT months old is when Cara finally stopped crying everytime she was with Cephas

NINE papers written during Fall semester.

TEN times a month working past 2 am: This makes for one tired Mama.

ELEVEN loads of laundry each week: my laundry helper!

TWELVE pounds Cara has gained since birth: What a big girl!
