Almost a year

It's been almost a year since my last blog post on Nisamina....ok well, that's not really true, it's not October yet. But almost a year since I found out I was pregnant, ok, 10 months, but close enough. As I come up on my 30th birthday, the one year anniversary of our family starting, and almost a year since a blog post, I reflect on why I haven't been writing?

Well, I have been writing, some. Over on Team Zuber...Team Zuber is a great forum for family blogging, which I love. But what about Nisamina? What about 'my thoughts' as Nisamina means to me. Ever since Team Zuber started, I wondered, what will happen to Nisamina? What is Nisamina? Maybe the bigger and deeper question is, what are my thoughts? Who wants to read about my thoughts and where, or should I even post them at all?

Frankly, I love my thoughts. I think they are hilarious! Or interesting at least. So after about a year since birth of Team Zuber, and my daughter, I'm starting to ask myself what my thoughts are again. It's easy to be consumed by being a new mom, and forget about my thoughts all together. My thoughts are usually about my daughter, my husband, or my family, because those are the ins and outs of my life. But I have other thoughts too. Lately those thoughts have been about:

Jesus - How do I follow Jesus in this new phase of my life?

Diapers! - Cloth diapers to be exact...I love them, and I probably think about them more than I think about Jesus, which I should really work on.

Food/Exercise - I want to lose the preggo weight, I love to cook and eat, and I miss triathlon training, swimming, biking, running. How do I integrate these into my new life?

Hobbies - I feel like I need hobbies to do at home other than housework...the grind can get to me. I want exercise to be a part of that, but I'm working on how that works. But my dearest friend Bridget, re-introduced me to knitting. She taught me some basics about 10 years ago, before a Christmas road trip in college. I wanted something for the road, other than reading -which makes me car sick. I started a scarf, but never finished it. So this weekend when she and her fabulous hubby Jeph visited, she showed me how to cast of my mini scarf, and start some squares...maybe I'll have better luck with small stuff.

So here's to the re-birth of Nisamina. Who knows what will come here...maybe lots, maybe nothing. But I'm going to see what happens. I probably won't advertise Nisamina on Facebook, maybe just once to show it's back. So if you want to hear about my meanderings, you'll have to come on over and look for them :). And for those who prefer the standard baby pics, they'll be over at Team Zuber as usual :)
