...we sure do need him now. (I love Take 6)
32 days of 100+ heat in North Texas. Oh. My. Word. This is getting ridiculous.
Doctor appointment and sonogram today. The little squirt is 4.6 lbs, and I'm measuring at 33 weeks. I've even finally gained some weight! I'm a pound away from my pre-pregnancy weight. I certainly don't want to jinx anything, but I haven't had morning sickness the past 3 days!
My mom went with us to this appointment to see the sonogram. Baby girl is getting so big. We got to see her face really well this time. Her feet were nice and jammed up near my ribs as usual.
In other less-exciting news, I go back to work in 9 days. I'm looking forward to the routine and seeing work friends, but not looking forward to the hectic start of the year. I'm very ready to go set up my classroom for the year. That is probably the most stressful time for me.
We went to Milano this past weekend to visit my grandparents. We went to the jamboree on Saturday night and played at church on Sunday. It was so nice to see my grandparents, aunts and cousins. Granny went nuts with shopping for baby girl, so she now has many more outfits.
Backtrack: Before we left for Milano on Saturday, Crystal threw a shower for baby girl. It was so cute. Good group of our friends, and such enjoyable conversation. I'll post pictures when I load them from my camera.
Thankfully, I think that's about it in the way of updates. The wiggle worm and I are going to Lowes in a bit to find window film to try and cool off the living room from the daily sun beatings.

roll with the changes
I cleaned out some old posts so now it looks like I never update. Although this is close to the truth, I decided I wanted to repurpose the blog. Sticking with the family info. Speaking of family: our little one is due in late September. We found out in January, and the journey began.
Pregnancy is not at all what I expected, though I'm still not really sure what exactly I was expecting. I'm apparently one of the gloriously blessed women who experiences morning sickness for all 9 months! I won't complain though, because I have NO leg cramps, headaches, back aches, swelling, numbness, skin problems or anything else typically associated with pregnancy.
We found out in May that our little bundle is going to be a girl. We decided to be surprised with the rest of the family. So we had the doc write down the gender, and we took it to our favorite bakery and they colored a precious cake. We gathered as much of our family as possible and cut the cake! (Thanks to the cousins for capturing a video for us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AVxxvx-S10)
Summer is going well. I've been nesting quite a bit now that I have time. The nursery basics are almost ready to go. We still don't have a name for baby girl, but I'm sure we'll come up with something. :)
Right now I'm just enjoying the last few weeks of freedom before school starts again! Hopefully I'll be a little more diligent with the updates and pictures.

carve the turkey, turn the ball game on
...make Bloody Marys 'cause WE ALL WANT ONE!
Well the holidays have come to an end. What better time to post about them?
This year was filled with many new and exciting times for the hubbs and me. Multiple Christmases with the different families (my parents, his parents, my grandparents). Decor was certainly not of utmost importance. Our tree never had any ornaments on it, but that was because the cat kept trying to eat the tree and I didn't want to know how many ornaments he would try to eat.
Stockings went up without a hitch, though we have no fireplace, so we hung them from the furdown above our bar.
I also hung the traditional Christmas balls, which meant singing the traditional Christmas balls song while on the ladder. "Christmas balls, Christmas balls, I've got great big Christmas balls. String em up like Santa Claus, I've got Christmas balls." My dad is so proud, I'm sure.
We spent Christmas Eve with my family. Mom, Dad, bro, aunts, uncles, and cousins from my mom's side were all there as well. Went to the Zodiac Cafe at Neiman Marcus (which we've done every year since before I was born). Delicious lemon mousse. Later that evening my immediate family, and the Cobbs family (mom's sister) went Christmas caroling at an assisted living place near my grandparents' house. It was quite enjoyable since we are all musicians, and we had all 4 vocal parts represented.
Christmas day started at our apartment. Then we went to lunch at Hubby's parents house. His brother showed off his amazing talent with his new etch-a-sketch.
I would like to take the time to point out that in this picture my mother-in-law looks like Darth Vadar. (She's the one on the floor in front of the sofa.)
Then off to my grandparents for the 28734 hour present opening extravaganza! This sounds like a blast, but the sarcasm font has yet to be invented. After 4 hours of opening presents, and a few drinks, we went back to his parents' house to play games for the evening.
All in all, I would say the day was a success. I didn't eat or drink myself into oblivion which is a feat in itself.
Hallelujah, everybody say "cheese", Merry Christmas from the family!
