I have a blog rolling around in my head, but Depression is back in full swing. So I'll do this for now.
1. What did you do in 2014 that you'd never done before?
Gave birth, had surgery, breastfed, stayed overnight in a hospital, co-slept, completed a 90-day workout plan
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't make any for 2014. For 2015, I think I really want to work on building a savings account, and getting back in shape (and/or maybe getting pregnant again)
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Me! Sophie, Colleen, my cousin's wife, my former co-worker. It was a big year for babies.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No one is coming to mind, so I'll say no. (Hopefully, I'm not just forgetting).
5. What countries did you visit?
none, still.
6. What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?
More time outside, more money in savings.
7. What days from 2014 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
2/27: the day Bertie was born.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Not bouncing back, weight-wise, from the pregnancy. Unlike the rest of the world, I am not losing weight from breastfeeding.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Things related to pregnancy, and the c-section.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
We got a deep freezer, but it was a gift. Maybe the Ergo carrier.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Bertie! He's awesome.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Can't say, just in case they read the blog (though I don't think they do). But I'll say those who don't take care of things, to the detriment of others.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Rent, insurance for Bertie and me
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Having Bertie, my mom visiting, going to visit her, Christmas
16. What song will always remind you of 2014?
Happy
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? hard to say. While the year has been outstanding, depression has hit me pretty hard. I guess I'd say sadder
ii. thinner or fatter? slightly thinner, but I was pregnant then.
iii. richer or poorer? poorer!
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Been outside, exercised
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?Shopping
20. How did you spend Christmas?
With Aaron's family, Dad came. We had prime rib and ham. We got a lot of gifts, and were totally spoiled.
22. Did you fall in love in 2014?
Yes, with my baby boy
23. How many one-night stands?
none, duh.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Amazing race, Project runway, Cut Throat Kitchen, Bobs Burgers
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
No, I try not to waste time on hate.
26. What was the best book you read?
I barely read this year. I guess I'll say What to Expect the first year.
27. What was your greatest musical (re)discovery?
I didn't have much time for music this year.

A happy, healthy baby

A natural delivery, a vaginal birth, my pre-baby body back

Lego Movie (I didn't see many movies)
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 31, I was in Virginia with my family.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
The year was really satisfying, but I would say that no depression would have made the year much better.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2014?
Clothes with various stains on them.
