Long time, no blogging
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been updating - lots of things going on, but little time for blogging.
First of all, we're signing the adoption agreements for Kayla & Josh on January 2, and then will hopefully finalize in court by the end of January (we're keeping our fingers crossed). It seems like it's been a long time coming - they've been with us for what, 10 months now? Crazy.
Kayla is learning to read and Josh has been in the ER, at an allergy specialist and learning to use the toilet.
I'm at 30 weeks now and I can hardly believe it. I have gained only 9 pounds so far, but my doctor isn't worried -- and if you look at me, you'd think I've gained more! Our baby girl is healthy and growing and we are so excited to meet her. It's hard to believe that I basically only have about 10 weeks to go. This pregnancy has gone by so fast! I have been feeling pretty good; although last week my Braxton-Hicks started and they were coming about 10-12 in an hour ---- not normal! At the urging of my mom and sister, I took it (mostly) easy over the weekend and was fine by Christmas day.
Speaking of Christmas, we had a wonderful time this year, being with the kids and watching them open their gifts. As usual, we were at my grandparent's house on Christmas Eve and ate too much food and opened many generous gifts. Then Christmas morning we woke the kids up and opened gifts with them -- Brian was feeling quite generous and got me everything he knew I'd been wanting -- Nars blush, Smashbox lip gloss, Nigella's new book, new sneakers, Sprinkles cupcake mix, etc, etc. He recieved a new leather jacket, new sneakers (yeah, we got matching ones!), some Hugo Boss fragrance, and new stocking caps (he wears a different one everyday). His dad gave us the very unexpected -- a set of new tires for our Durango. We'd been planning on buying a new set before the new year and they decided to splurge a little and get them for us. We also received enough gift cards that we're searching for a digital camera -- we've got to have one before baby girl comes!
Hope the new year finds everyone happy and healthy!
xoxo.
