River's Story: Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas up in Dallas with E.Scott's family. It was nice to see his brother, Symbra, and our two neices Aruna and Annika. We don't get to see them very often because they live in North Carolina. E's parents were wonderful hosts and cooked us elaborate meals and waited on us hand and foot. It was very much appreciated and we always enjoy visiting them in Dallas! We didn't get to see my family this Christmas but they weren't ever far from my thoughts. E.Scott and I did some preliminary car shopping while we were there. We are thinking about getting a small SUV to give us more room for the baby and our puppies when we travel places. I'll post up some pics and let you know when we find one!

River is moving around in my belly so much. It is just the coolest feeling in the world to feel him toss and turn and kick me....even though sometimes it is my bladder he kicks! At my last appointment on December 29th, the doctor said his heartbeat was strong, my weight gain was right on, and I am still measuring about a week and a half ahead of the original schedule.

I started doing some online searching for a crib. I'll have to send out a picture when I find the perfect one! I did find the bedding that I want for the room. Here is a pic, let me know what you think!
