Merry Christmas!

These past few weeks have gone by so quickly, I can't believe it is Christmas this week! I love this time of year! Brad's graduation and birthday party was a success, I have been finishing up my shopping, and the Goodell family celebrated our Christmas today, so this week will be nice and relaxing! My girlfriends and I are having our annual Christmas party this year on Christmas Eve, as a brunch, so that will be the next holiday event! Then my mom and dad are hosting the Lawrence family on Christmas Eve, then we will head to Indiana for the Monhaut family Christmas on Friday.

I go in for my next appointment on Tuesday, and after this I have to start going to the doctor every two weeks! John has been very active lately, kicking and moving all over the place, which is fun. It is so weird to watch my stomach move all over the place. Allie, our dog, was laying right up next to my stomach the other night and he kicked so hard, she turned and looked at me like, "What was that?!" It was so funny. I am getting a prenatal massage at the hospital next Monday, I am sooooo excited. I still feel good, but I just feel like I need to stretch constantly and my hips start hurting at night. I also am starting a prenatal water aerobics class on Jan 5th, so hopefully that helps me loosen up too. Over all though, I feel good, just getting bigger! Some days I feel HUGE and other days I feel like I still have a small bump. I think its all what I wear :) Speaking of, my sister and I went shopping yesterday and I got a really cute top I think I will wear for my shower in January!

I am SO SO SO excited to start working on the baby's room. We are getting our carpets cleaned Tuesday, so Brad will put the crib together on Thursday when he is off. So yesterday Brad was working on clearing out the room because we are getting our carpets cleaned. I was out finishing some Christmas shopping, and called him on my way home. He told me he got everything moved out, very happy about it. So I get home and go upstairs, walk into our bedroom (which is right across the hall from soon to be baby's room) and see all the stuff on OUR floor. Ummm, they are cleaning all the carpets upstairs honey, not just that one room. Hehe. Gotta love his effort though :) So he moved it all to the basement.

Here is a random picture I took yesterday morning when I was going to the gym. This shirt really showed off my bump :)



Merry Christmas to everyone if I don't talk with you or see over the next week! We wish everyone a happy holiday and New Year!
