Quick Update

I got a message from the doctor's office yesterday saying that my AFP blood test came back negative. The AFP test screens for birth defects like Down Syndrome and Spina Bifida (among others). One small victory for Baby Bell!

Happy Birthday Garrett!

Today is my nephew's 3rd Birthday. He's growing up so fast and becoming quite the little man.

Puppy Hangover

This is what we like to call a "puppy hangover." After spending the weekend with the family, the dogs are completely worn out.

Christmas with The Millers

Opening presents is so tiring for Wylie

Our last Christmas before Baby Bell arrives.

Next year we'll gain a sister-in-law and a baby. The family

is growing!!

This past weekend we spent Christmas in Charlotte (actually Stanley) with my family (also celebrated my Mom's birthday which was on Dec. 20th and Garrett who turns 3 on Dec. 22nd....busy weekend!). Amy, as always, made a fabulous meal with contributions from Mike and Sarah and my mom. Ricky brought the beer.

We had a great time and good food. Who could ask for a better Christmas than that?

Best Husband Ever

I would like to give a "shout out" to Ricky for being the being the best husband ever. After a horrible night's sleep Monday night due to being uncomfortable as crap, he surprised me with the Snoogle Body Pillow. He went to Babies R Us all by himself and searched high and low for this particular pillow so I can have a better night's sleep. I came home from work and went upstairs and it was sitting there on the bed. What a great guy. Lately I've had issues sleeping only on my left side and I have not been very comfortable.

Night # 1 using the Snoogle - MUCH BETTER!!! Thanks Ricky, you're the best!

Funny Dream

Had a funny dream last night. I dreamt that I just gave birth to a boy. When I was telling Ricky about my dream, he asked "who did he look like?" I said, "he looked like you, literally." In my dream he had Ricky's head but on a baby's body. Strange but also funny. This is my first dream I've had about the baby.

On another note, there was a small earthquake around the Summerville area this morning. It was a 3.6 according to what I read on charleston.net. I didn't so much feel anything as I heard a loud noise that lasted for a few seconds. Needless to say it freaked the dogs out and they started barking like crazy.

Company Holiday Party

Last night was my company's Holiday party at the Holiday Inn Mt. Pleasant. Here is a picture of Ricky and me all dressed up.
