Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Saturday we celebrated Christmas with Josh's family. We ate dinner at Village Inn Pizza and I couldn't have been happier! The food was fantastic and the company was even better! I didn't get many pictures, but here's one of the boys. All my iPhone pics were blurry. That irritates me to no end!

And here's a pic from their Christmas card with one of my Christmas mustache magnets :)
When we returned from NC, my sister from Maine was in town. Yesterday, Christmas Day, my family spent the day at Mom's eating and playing games. We had a great time. Here's a few pics since they say it better than I could.
What our Christmas Card might have looked like .... if we made one this year!
The whole family together for once!

 I'll be 31 weeks along tomorrow so next week I hope to have another update. 

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!

Almost forgot these ... here's our tree scouting :)
We crossed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, ... kidding! We went to Kroger!
And here's a sneak peak of the Nursery ... it's starting to come together!

28 Weeks Update

Hello third trimester! The second trimester seemed to fly by! Here's a little update since last time:

This week's doctor visit went very well. I had the glucose test but I haven't received the results yet. I'm hoping they come back saying I do not have gestational diabetes! Peanut is growing very well despite my thyroid issue. He is in the 70th percentile per the ultrasound. That is comforting yet scary! How big is he going to be??? Josh was able to come with me this time and see Peanut in the 3D ultrasound. On the screen, he looks amazing! The pictures don't do him justice. He didn't exactly cooperate so I don't have an new great pictures to post of him. The doctor said as he gets more meat on his bones the 3D images will be clearer. I go back for another ultrasound in a month or so and will hopefully be able to post more pics then.

How's life been? Danielle came for a visit. It was a ton of fun hanging out doing girl stuff! We even found time to see the Hunger Games with Josh. Thanks for visiting Danielle! Here's the only pic I got of that visit:
Then came Thanksgiving. We spent the day at my parents and then Keith came in for a visit (no pictures! I've really got to get better at using the camera. I mean, that is what I bought it for!). I can't believe how this year is flying by.

I've only got two more working weeks of the year - that sounds exciting! I'm only taking a week off for Christmas, but it sounds better when I say it this way!

From here on out, I'll try to get pictures every two weeks. There isn't too much going on (other than the holidays) as I'm trying to take advantage of the down time I have. I'm getting lots of sleep and generally resting. I hear those days are numbered and I don't want to waste a single one!

Until next time!
