Merry Christmas!

With all of the craziness that's been going on these last several weeks, Doug & I decided to simplify Christmas. We decided to forgo our regular tree this year and I found this cute little white one. Okay, so I may not really think it's cute, but Doug likes it and that's what matters. It is growing on me.

I'm finally feeling the Christmas spirit, but it has been hard to come by this year. We've got alot of sadness in our hearts right now, but then I think about this new baby coming and I feel much happier. We're really so very blessed.

Everything's OK

Had a little scare the other day that sent me to the ER. I won't go into all the details, but I will reassure you that everything is just fine. I even had an ultrasound and could see the baby and the heartbeat (147 BPM, very strong.) They were also able to determine a more accurate due date based on the size of the baby. My new due date is 8/1/2009, otherwise known as my 29th birthday. While that would be a lovely present and I'm sure my husband would try to pass off the baby as my present every year, I'm thinking this baby will need its very own birthday. But if this little peanut wants to show up on mine, I certainly won't be stopping it. :)

Good News!!

Most of you have probably already heard the good news, but just in case you missed it...

Yep, that's exactly what you think it is. Estimated due date is 7/28/09. :)

Snow!

We had some snow this weekend. A little bit on Saturday that melted away fairly quickly, but yesterday's stuck around for a little longer. There is still some out there now.

It certainly made it a festive day for putting up the Christmas tree. We went with a small white tree with blue decorations this year, Doug's idea, he's always wanted us to have a white tree. We've got so much going on that getting out all of our decorations just seemed like too much work to me. I think it disappointed Doug a little bit. Christmas is my favorite time to decorate for, but we're both so tired right now, I don't think we'd enjoy it much. But we've got the wreath hanging on the door and our sweet little tree in one corner with our stockings hung right above it and a couple other little things here and there. It'll be enough this year. Next year, I'm sure we won't be able to resist going all out. We'll probably even have to get a real tree. :)
