Merry Christmas!

We're up in PA at my parents' for the holidays and were surprised with all the snow! This is why we like Virginia now! :)

Baby is coming along nicely and is getting more and more active in there---doing a mambo for all I know! I think we're going to have a problem sleeping when it arrives. Ripley seems to sleep all day wakes up around 4 in the afternoon and does its thing until at least 10. We'll see what happens when it comes out!

I still don't know the gender. We'll know in a few weeks and will post it with big banners! I was going to go to the hospital to get the 4D image ultrasound, but we decided not to and just wait to see it when we see it. Some people say the pictures turned out weird.

Got Cravings??

Ok, so it's cliche, but I really am finding myself eating more pickles (hence one jar almost empty) and olives. I can also chow down a whole tub of cottage cheese in two days. Thankfully all the stufd isn't THAT bad for me. However, I'm trying to follow doctor's orders. Last night I made Josh stop at Kripsy Kreme and I polished off two donuts :). Hey...it's for the baby!!

Dr's visit #3

Today we saw Terry, the midwife I saw back in October. She was concerned that I've lost weight again and should be gaining about a pound a week. Now I've got some catching up to do and have been given the permission to chow down during the holidays. Oh no, I don't think I can do it!! (sense the sarcasm??)

Furniture

While I was out shopping on Saturday. Josh was putting together the crib. I guess he was just really excited about putting it together since he's got to take it apart and do it all over again. We can't move it all in one piece from his office to the nursery because of the tight corner. But now we know what it looks like!

Upcoming Break

So Thanksgiving is over and we're sailing right on to Christmas. It was crazy as always over break, splitting the short time between two families. Next year we are staying home! The best part is that our next break is two short weeks away!!

We are pushing forward with the nursery! My mother found the bedding I wanted in the aquarium theme that goes along with a boy or a girl. Josh and I got a great deal on a crib, changing table, dresser combo. The one I wanted at Target had been recalled---oops! I'll put pictures up as soon as everything is put together! Paint will wait until we can match it to the colors in the crib sheets, and it also has to be done before we put in the new floor- of course by we I mean Josh.
