Holiday Cheer


Another holiday has come and gone....too quickly for me! There's never enough time to visit everyone, and it usually takes multiple trips. And I spent a couple of days in bed, with either a slight flu or just run-down from the festivities. But we made it to Nana's house the day before Christmas Eve, then Aaron's Dad's and my Grandma's on Christmas Eve, and then Aaron's sister's and my Dad's on Christmas Day.....then on New Year's we went to visit Aaron's Grandma for pork and sauerkraut dinner. It was good to see everyone, especially Aunt Maura and Uncle John who made it from Florida!


Everyone loved their presents too....even Baby "Jack". I'll admit, we did adopt that name from Aunt Maura for the week. He got a cute new onesie that Aaron can't wait for him to fit into....on the front it says "Intake" with an arrow pointing to his mouth and right below that it says "Chevrolet". Then on the back it says "Exhaust" on the butt. :) He also got a couple new toys and blankies.


Aaron's sister, Jennette, and I had to pose for a picture to compare our belly size. She is a week further along than I am....and from the picture we look about even, but when we measured with a string, I proved to be a few inches more around. But, I'll have you know that I saw Dr. Vemullapali today for my 31 week checkup and she was proud of me for only gaining 2 pounds over the holiday! (So was I!)

I haven't made a New Year's Resolution this year....as most years I say I am going to lose weight. I figure this year it's a given. I am just excited that I only have about 2 more months before I get to meet my pride and joy.

We were happy to be able to come home and spend time with the family too. Thank goodness the weather was so cooperative for us!

Weight loss will be easier this year for you.Once Jack arrives, you will loose at least a quick 10 pounds!

I can't wait to meet him!

Your sister in law is a bit taller than you...so you can't really get excited about size comparison.

I wish I only gained 2 lbs over the holiday....:0) You are better than I!

Baby Jack, AKA Chipmunk will be here before ya know it...I can't wait to hold him!
