Happy New Year!!

Stephen and I are staying home tonight. No big deal, I'd rather stay home and be comfy and I think Stephen just really isn't up for the going out thing right now either. Our New Years Resolutions? Stephens is to be a good dad...=) He already is to me if he's making resolutions like that. Mine is to bring our baby boy into the world with a healthy start. I want to teach Michael so many things and spoil him. I know Stephen feels the same way. I know we're going to go through alot more changes together and I feel like we both have the same outlook and goals as far as raising our baby boy. I'm so excited for Feb to get here.
I've spent most of today painting stuff for the baby's room. I'm so excited that I took a more creative and inexpensive approach to decorating his room. Now all we need to do is set it all up. I can't wait. Here are some pics. =)

So Christmas went great. Stephen invited a couple of his friends over who were staying in the barracks. And together we made a great Christmas lunch/dinner. Stephen did the turkey and I handled the rest. WITH NO CASUALTIES OR FOOD POISONING!! lol. I was so glad everything came out great. Stephen loved his presents. I got him a Tom Brady jersey, some patriots flip flops, and a tool kit with everything in it that he needs. He got me a Dooney and Burke bag that is just gorgeous with the matching wallet and a beautiful pair of earrings. We really did well for eachother this year. Not that the presents matter but it was great to be able to spend Christmas just the two of us. Boston and Daisy loved their presents. We had them each a stocking with treats and toys and i kept two of the four bones Stephen's mom sent so they had something to open for Christmas..plus it keeps them quiet when company is here. So here are some pics I took of stephen and food and gifts and another preggo pic of me...getting huge!!!!

Happy Christmas Eve

Stephen is finally home. He left a little over two weeks ago to fill in on a boat in St. Pete. While I'm glad he got to go back to the states for a bit, i'm even happier that he's home. I picked him up yesterday from the "aeropuerto" around 1130 and we fought traffic to get home. He says I've gotten bigger...i absolutely feel bigger, that's for sure. Beached whale comes to mind when someone asks how I am doing. He had a great trip and was even part of the opening ceremonies for the St.Petersburg bowl..he was part of the American flag shaped like the u.s. But because of a stupid basketball game on ESPN, they skipped over taping the opening ceremony and went straight to kick-off.
Tomorrow is Christmas and I am so thrilled. It's our last Christmas just the two of us. Next year we'll have little baby boy to flourish with gifts and start the traditional "fib" about Santa bringing presents. I can't wait. We're normally in Mass at his parents' house for this time of year but because of my massive belly and risk of having a baby soon, we opted to stay home and spend it here. I love Christmas in Mass...the snow on the ground and absolutely frigid cold makes it all come together to feel like the holidays. It's almost difficult to listen to Christmas music here when it's 85 degrees out. So, we'll have some company over tomorrow and I'll attempt not to food poison them or burn anything. Let's hope it goes well. I'll post pics tomorrow of our gifts and food, etc. Dr appt on the 29th...so i'm hoping i have more great news to report.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Saw my little man today

Our baby boy is doing so well...he's estimated 4lbs at this point..which is good. everything is developing nicely...and apparently he's a comedian already. he was sticking his tongue out during the ultrasound..i have pics to prove it..lol.

he's definitely still a boy...lol not shy at all. i can't wait to meet him, i'm so excited.

me, i've gained 6 more pounds..rounding me out at 26 lbs since i started this..and ten more growing weeks left. I'm anemic so he has me on iron pills...i guess that it's normal..he didn't seem too concerned. 10 weeks left chicks...i can't wait.


oh and p.s. they've warned me about his big head lol

Stephen wasn't able to come today because he left suddenly yesterday for Florida for two weeks. ahhh the joys of military and the amount of time they give you to prepare for such things....either way, i got a cd with the pics on it so i can show him when he gets home...or email them...

so here's a few comical pics you might enjoy...i cry everytime.
