Christmas Blessings

This was an especially blessing filled christmas for me this year. Although this year has held many ups and downs, I tried to focus on my current blessings. It was just that much more special to share it with my sister's family (since we live in the same house now) and with my folks and sister who flew in just for christmas. It was a whirlwind trip for them but so nice to spend a couple days together.

Well I guess I should finish this blog since I started it like 3 days ago.... :-)
The last couple weeks have been quite busy for our family of seven. With the busy-ness of the holidays and husbands at home to the short visit from our folks, it makes for long and tiring days. This christmas was quite fun with Josiah and after thinking ahead to our next year I am anxious to spend next christmas with a 4 yr old and 10 month old. That will be a very special time as well. Although, this christmas was nothing to forget.

I have yet to download all our pictures from christmas so as soon as I figure out how to do so with our new camera I will post some of the most fun.

I did have a dr's appt last week and of course all is still well. I am growing right on schedule and the baby seemed to be doing quite well. My next appt will be at 34 weeks. Then I will be seeing him either every 1 or 2 weeks... can't remember. I seriously have the pregnant forgetful brain going on. I was jsut telling my sister the other day though that this baby is way more active than Josiah was... either that or I just don't remember or possible that with my first baby I just wasn't aware of all the action. The baby has begun a routine of the 3 am party... uh, oh I guess that means I will be up at 3 am feedings coming very soon.

Something silly my family has decided to do is that we are doing a due date guessing contest. I know it seems quite silly but I guess that's just the way my family is. :-) We all put in $1 and got one guess as to when I will have this baby. My due date is Feb 28th and most people have guessed anywhere between Feb 8th and Feb 23rd. Since I had Josiah 5 weeks early we are all pretty much thinking that I will be early again. We shall see who wins.

Well stay tuned and maybe tomorrow I will figure out how to download my pictures.
I hope that you all had Happy New Years and a very festive christmas.
