maternity leave

December is flying by! maybe because it's been so busy. quick run down...

I had another baby shower and my friends threw such an amazing party. I felt so special and even had a crown to prove it! the nursery is piled high with presents and I plan to tackle that after Christmas. All my family came to Santa Cruz last weekend for our family Christmas. it was nice to have a full house. Keith cooked an amazing meal and we had so many desserts and candy, that we're still working on them. worse than being pregnant at Halloween is being 9 months at Christmas time! I hope our little guy isn't born with too much of a sweet tooth.

just got through my first week of maternity leave. It is such a strange feeling to not have to go to work... the first few days were great, loved watching day time TV and doing errands whenever I wanted, but I started to get a little stir crazy by Wednesday night. now since Keith will be home through the holidays, we'll be more motivated to get things done and ready for our baby. It's crazy to try to go on with everyday life, when really any day I could go into labor. I have been feeling really good and only uncomfortable at night. (he has the hiccups right now). so its basically a waiting game and the anticipation is growing everyday.

I am going to enjoy the quiet holidays with my husband and just get as ready as I can. but I'm very anxious to meet this little ball of energy that has been growing inside me for what seems a very long time!
