First, everything is great with Baby! We get more excited everyday! my stomach is protruding (in a very different way than it usually does!) and i can't wait to actually look pregnant and not just bloated!
The rest of our updates will be in chronological order so i don't forget anything. Christmas was awesome, it was so good to see my family and to see how spoiled my niece got. Kel and i got a deep freeze, some pajamas, a blow dryer and a couple of gift cards (already used). The present meant very little this year, because the greatest gift we got was the opportunity to go to Midnight (10:30pm) mass with my ENTIRE family. It truly was a testament to how much my family has grown because of our love for God and one another! i know a lot of families in the church have not seen all of us together in a pew for almost a decade, so this was such a blessing.
(she is so big and such a cutie i can't resist posting a couple of pictures of her.)
next i got to spend time celebrating Christmas with my friends. We have all been a big group since freshman year of high school and it's amazing that we have kept in touch so well and are still all there for each other throughout the years! we had a big party and we got to celebrate the changes that have happened and soon will be happening (MO got Married, I got Married, i got pregnant, K doing well in grad school, J getting engaged-a few weeks after, L getting an awesome nursing job, MT waiting to get engaged, B working after finishing school and settling down) It's amazing how all of us have grown up yet our relationships are stronger than ever! It was so much fun to party and celebrate with them.
Next New Year's Eve came and the reality of what's coming up in 2012 hit. Kel and i had a REALLY nice dinner out and then watched a couple of movies and went to bed early. However it was not the events of how we brought int eh new year that made New Year's Ever Special... it was earlier. So we had talked with my parents a few weeks before and discussed our moving out of the townhouse. we have a neighbor who is far from ideal when it comes to an environment for raising children. Kel and i are not even close to financially being able to buy a house. So instead my parents were debating buying a house to rent to us. So on New Years Eve Kel and i inspected a house, fell in love with it, my parents made an offer and they got the house! It is an adorable, perfect, big, spacious house with room to grown more and more! We are so blessed that my parents love us (and spoil their unborn grandchild) and are willing to help us along the way to becoming parents! i cannot explain how blessed we are!
(bonus it's one block from one sister and 5 blocks from another!)
While still recovering from the shock of how our lives are blessed we got to have a sonogram and get a picture of the little tyke! It was so amazing to see the heartbeat and hear all was going well. plus the meds for em so i'm not as sick are miracle workers! i was nervous about taking them but i am so glad that i did!
Finally i have had two interviews this week with a company and i'm really excited about this opportunity. of course i am still waiting to hear back, and since i am so good at the waiting game it's going great! haha!But i have a good feeling and if this doesn't work out i am double any efforts into getting a career!
so that is how life has been since Christmas. It's amazing how much has happened. And there's only so much more coming up. Today my little sister leaves for Spain. I am very excited for her but i still am going to miss her a whole heap!It will be weird that she is so far away.My birthday is in two weeks, kel and i leave on a whole week of vacation at the end of the month, plus everything else that is going on. I have waited so long for life to fall into place and i feel like there are only a couple more puzzle pieces before things are too good to be true!
