Well, Christmas was pretty good, but still no baby. I've just decided I will be patient and she will be here when it's time. My office is closed till Jan. 5th and then my maternity leave starts so I'm off till the first of April - wow I haven't not working in that long since like high school. It's weird, but I wish Chris could be off with me. He gets a week whenever the baby comes so that will be nice. I guess I will update later, I hope to get pictures of the nursery and some other things up soon!

Tis the Season and Fa La La La La

Prayers are needed for tomorrow's doctors appointment! Tomorrow we get an ultrasound to find out how our baby is positioned, last week we couldn't figure out where her head was, I know it's routine, but I'm still a little nervous (maybe more anxious). This last month has been hard, especially now when you don't know when the baby will come. I guess it's a reminder that I don't need to be in control, and I actually can't be in this case.

It feels so busy and I love Christmas time, I just want to take time to slow down and remember why we celebrate this holiday - sometimes it's easy to rush through it without really appreciating what it's about. I hate those years, I've had a few and it's like Christmas just comes and goes and no big deal. I love to make it a big deal, and yes I get into the decorations, and Christmas specials on T.V. and the movies, but I love to take time, especially on Christmas Eve, and just thank God for sending his Son for all of us. This year I think it will hit me harder, seeing as I will be a mom before or sometime close to Christmas... just that I will really feel how it is to love my own child and realize that God loved Jesus this much, but sacrificed Him for all of us that are so unworthy. I guess I just write today to remind myself to slow down and appreciate what we are really celebrating!!

Last Night was Amazing!!!

Chris and I went downtown to Market Square to this place called The Square Room and first of all that place is amazing, they did an awesome job with it and Cafe 4 is adjoined to it (right next to Tomato Head), we didn't eat there but it looked awesome. Ok so now who we went to see - The are called Ten out of Tenn and this is their Christmas tour. It's ten musicians out of Nashville who are friends and get together and all take turns playing their songs while the rest join in as back up singers and musicians, it was awesome. Plus the fact that I love Christmas music. They are all so talented, I couldn't just be like this person really stood out cause I think they are all equally talented. Check out their tour page on myspace, they have a couple songs up, plus you can get the Christmas album on itunes!!

On another note, I went to the doctor yesterday and it was just routine except the doctor can't tell how the baby is turned so next Thursday I have to have an ultrasound to see if her head is down. The doctor did say that her head could just be really low and that's why she couldn't find it, I was a little freaked like what do you mean you can't find her head. Chris reassured me she had a head cause we saw it in the last ultrasound pictures. I just realized that God is in control of everything and I really don't have control of anything. I mean I've realized this before, it's just I need reminding every once in awhile.

Wow, what is today?

Well it's already December 4th and I haven't gotten one Christmas present, I've never been this bad before at waiting till the last minute. I should be better this year because I may not have the last minute if the baby decides she wants to come early! We've just been so busy getting baby stuff together and we've been getting her room together (pictures will be coming soon) that Christmas has been on the back burner. I don't want this to happen cause it's my favorite holiday and I really like to think of why we celebrate it and take time to realize what God did for us - it should be a time to slow down and be grateful for what we have been given. Sometimes I just don't know how to slow down, but when I do get the chance to slow down every once in awhile it feels so good - I guess it's because I'm the type of person who always has something going on so it's rare when I get a break, but I enjoy it a lot more. Ok, so I just need to know that everything will get taken care of, I don't know why I'm not used to it, everything has always come together last minute for me. Poor Chris, he may not be used to this - but it's how my whole life has been, sorry, that may have been something that he wasn't grateful to have gotten when we got married. I'm listening to Christmas music right now and it always cheers me up and makes me happy - I can't wait till we put up our decorations, all the lights make me happy!! Maybe that will happen this weekend or early next week!
