Whew!

We just got home from a great family vacation. We were away for 10 days and traveled to Cali and AZ to visit family and do some site seeing. I am now just getting back into the swing of things and on my 'to do' list for this week is upload all the photos I took and get them posted.

Yesterday I had a baby checkup. Everything is going good so far, besides measuring big. Doc said we will watch my growth the next two times and if I'm still 'large and in charge' we will do an ultrasound to see what’s going on. Secretly I was really hoping I would have a small baby because pushing out a ten pounder with no drugs seems to me like a 4th degree tear waiting to happen. However, if this baby of ours is big there will be more to love, and I am OK with that!! Bring on the pounds child; I just want you to be a happy and healthy baby! I will heal and like I've been told by many.... birth is the worst pain of your life but the quickest you will ever forget. Fine by me! Also I kinda knew from the start I was going to have a big baby.... both Steve and I were over 8 lbs so I figured that is the starting point for our child? Oh and this baby is very active still. I feel her/him move all the time and it took the doc a few times to get a heart rate (140 bpm) because of all the movement. February is coming quickly!!

Baby B's nursery will be worked on this weekend. We will clear everything out of the room... start painting... and then get ready to figure out the decor. YAY!! Can't wait to paint the dino's (with or without pearls) and table we found that someone was going to trash. A good scrub down and a fresh coat of paint will make someones trash into a treasure of a side table next to a glider. Yes please!!

PS: Is anyone else ready for Thanksgiving?! I wish is was next week! Never been this excited about Turkey Day before. Maybe it's the food coma I'm looking forward to..... oh and of course all the good company of family and friends! I love the holidays and being with family!! Then it's Christmas!! Oh boy! I already pulled my decorations out to the front of the closet so I can start right after I get out of that food coma. :)
