year of the baby

Happy New Year!!....not to mention this is the year I give birth. I have always been content with knowing he didn't have to get out of me until NEXT year. Now, that next year is very much THIS year, he has to get out me now...and soon! Not that I am freaking out or anything :D
Here are some updates:
Brett started on the baby room again, this time with painting the walls the blue we picked out. He did a great job, the first coat is so fabulous and the color just screams BOY BLUE! We are so excited to meet our little guy and we know he will love his room as much as we do! One more coat of blue (hopefully one more coat, that is what I am telling Brett) and then some touch ups and the painting is done! We have a closet to make (there is no closet in the room) and baby furniture on the way....not to mention new carpet for both bedrooms! So much to do in so little time!

On a side note, we had another baby appointment on December 28. The baby is moving around well and growing right on schedule. My blood pressure was up a little, so I have to watch that but it is the holidays...doesn't that automatically make everyone's blood pressure rise?! We now start the every two week appointments this month...which is great so we can meet more doctors. I also passed the glucose test (yeah!) and I still have to get the rogain shot (which should happen this week).

One more thing: Brett and I went and picked out books for the little guy. I choose a book I had when I was little called "The Little House". Brett picked out "Star Wars: Heroes", which has Yoda on the cover. Which one do you think the little guy will like better? :D (I like Brett's choice better too)

OK, OK, one more thing. My baby girl sister is ENGAGED!!! She will marry the wonderful and exciting Craig Cooley sometime this year. So, we have a baby boy on the way and a wedding to plan! What a great and exciting year ahead! Congratulations Angela and Craig! We are so excited for you both and welcome to the family Craig-a-leg!
