Let's see...

Well let's see what's been going on with us...lots I guess

The first day of Christmas break, 12/19, found Jim and I at our first visit to L and D. After school I was rear-ended by a truck and missed my monthly check up. This happened about 5 minutes after I got out of school, but I had to sit and wait for the silly cops to show up and NOT give the jerk a ticket. My doctor wanted me to come in and be observed, for 6 hours!!! Hopefully that will not happen again and the next time we visit L and D will be to deliver this little one.

Christmas has come and gone, but luckily Jim, Finn, and I got to take a few days and head to MI. It was great to have a white snowy Christmas. The drive out there was a little long, but not too bad. Finn loved the snow and spent as much time outside as the cold weather would allow him. Let's just say we played the I want in I want out game a lot!!! Jim got to drive a snowmobile, Finn got to chase it, and plow snow with my dad's tractor. We got to go sledding, old school style. Jim got to meet April for the first time, they just moved back from FL. It was great to see them and spend time with everyone. If there was only more time. I can't wait to spend more time this spring and summer.

We returned to no snow in MD and to find out that there were $6500 in damages done to my car...thank goodness we're not paying that bill! I love the rental car they gave me...now if I can just get Jim to let me get rid of the little red car and get one like the rental all will be wonderful. I doubt that though.

New Year's Eve morning woke as at 6:30 a.m. when the little one decided to us feel him/her for the first time externally. I'm sure Jim wasn't overly excited at first to be woken up, but after he felt the little kicks I think it made it worth it. Since then he was been trying to get other feels in whenever I feel them. It makes it very real, not to mention my ever growing belly.

We're over half way there now. I'll be 24 weeks on Sunday...not too much longer. Where did all the time go??? It just seems like I was just telling everyone I was engaged and then pregnant. Crazy!!!

The wedding plans are coming along. It's the little things that I need to get done and kind of forgot about...like shoes!!! Who forgets that? I just need to get through the next few weeks of dealing with my students, delivery my little one, and then finish the rest of the wedding stuff.

I'm super excited about everything that is coming up in the next 6 months. I'll try and keep everyone up to date. Happy New Year and Merry holidays to all!!

Tradition

Check out our super cool old camper online. The Avion has been part of our family camping trip since I was a toddler. Those that have been to my parents' house, in Leonard, will have seen it next to the barn. Just thought you'd like to take a look at the long history it has. I'm impressed that my dad did something like that online!
