I can hardly believe that another year has ended! I feel like I have been pregnant forever! April seems so far away at times(like when I get winded after walking for 10 minutes, when I need help tying my shoes some mornings...) and yet, at other times I feel like this little guy will be here before I know it. Since my last post we have definitely felt him move. It is pretty cool. The first night it happened I was half asleep and ended up waking Jeff and then not going to bed almost the rest of the night hoping he would move again- he did not! He is quite the mellow baby so far. He likes to stay curled in a ball holding on to both of his feet. I have had at least 6 ultrasounds and he is always in this same position. I am not sure whether to count my blessing that he stays so calm and isn't kicking the life out of me or continue to stress out when I go almost a whole day without feeling him. More than likely I will do both! ;) Important thing is, he is super healthy and right on track. My doctor is very pleased with his growth and progress so I will try and stay calm. Hahaha! Easier said than done! I am really grateful for the opportunity to be pregnant and share this experience with the love of my life. I am not going to lie though, sometimes it is really weird as well. When I sit and truly contemplate the fact that I am growing another human being inside of me, it's well, strange! I wonder things like how can he stay upside down for hours or days on end without getting a headrush? Is he going to have webbed toes like me? Am I really going to be able to make til the end of this pregnancy without ripping in two(some days I have my doubts!)? All normal thoughts I am sure. Most of all, I am excited to be a mom and watch Jeff be a dad. I know it is going to be a heck of a ride :)
Some other fun events recently were of course Christmas and visits from family! Jeff and Amy and the kids were out here this year and we had such a wonderful time! Their visits always seem to be way to short and go way too fast! We finally got to meet their newest addition and he is a doll! Our Christmas gift to all my siblings and their significant others was a trip to Medival Times. We had a blast and I am so glad we all got to go together. A big thanks to Mom and Dad for volunteering to babysit all the kiddos. I think they had fun too :) We got to talk to Justin Christmas day and he is loving the Dominican Republic. It was soooo great to talk to him, but it also reminded me how much I miss him!
So here is to a fun, exciting, adventurous new year! Can't wait to see what happens....!!

Christmas was amazing! We had a blast - and it DID go way too fast. Thank you for the fun times - MT was awesome! Can't wait to see you and your new addition!!!
Happy New Years! Being pregnant is fun and nerve racking at the same time. I remember thinking I would be so happy once Katelin was born and I could stop worrying. Then I thought about it and knew I would always be worrying about her. But you are right, it is a fun ride. So happy for you!
