So much to say...

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their 2008 so far. Last week it was back to reality as school started up again. It was actually a good week back but just having to wake up again everyday was a little tough. Our Christmas was a good one! We celebrated Christmas Eve at our house with Eric's family and then had Christmas dinner with them Christmas Day. We didn't celebrate Christmas with my family until January 4, when all my sisters were back from their in-laws. On Christmas Eve Day, we had our 20 week ultra sound. It was so much fun to see so much more than the first one and we resisted any temptation to find out what our little pumpkin is! It is moving more and more and it is so fun for Eric to be able to be more a part of it all, actually getting to feel it kick.

Truly Eric's child..."pull my finger!"

Over our break, we also went to Las Vegas with our friends Chris and Kelly. We had a really fun time getting away and Kelly and I had a great shopping trip along with learning to play a little blackjack...with the boys coaching us! I don't think I would dare sit a table by myself to play although I did do pretty good! We have also had fun starting to get things a little bit ready for the baby's room. Our second room has been our office, guest room, junk room for the last 2 years so we were able to get organized and get things ready to be painted in there. Eric also painted an old dresser white to match the other furniture so I can continue to keep some of my stuff still in there! We also registered so things are starting to feel so much more real! It's so fun preparing for the arrival. I'm at 23 weeks now and I feel like time is flying since Christmas has passed! Here's a pretty horrible picture of me but you can kind of see my growing belly...I feel like it is so much bigger than it looks here!
