Baby C got lots of presents this year. It got a bassinet, a Baby Bullet food maker, a thermometer, books, a cow that sings and several very cute outfits. Thank you to our wonderful families for spoiling our baby to be!

Holidays!
This last weekend we had our first 2 family Christmases. It is so exciting to think about bringing our own kid next year. The baby was even in on one of the exchanges this year. It got a beautiful white handmade blanket, a bib that says "Star of Mommy's Blog", a frame and some decal stickers for the car. The stickers are the little people that you see on the back of cars. We have a dad, a mom, a big dog, a little dog and a baby. Luckily, there is both a girl baby and a boy baby to choose from.
My appetite is returning so I enjoyed eating all the yummy holiday foods. I even enjoyed some desserts. I ate them cautiously but I didn't feel too bad afterwards.
My hormones also seem to be evening out. For several days now I have felt very positive. There are so many reasons why I should feel blessed every day, but on the sad days I seem to forget them.
Today's doctor's appointment went well. I didn't get to see the baby but I did get to hear the heartbeat. It was 164 which she said was perfect.
Only one more month until we know if we're are having a princess or a prince.

Little Wonder
Today was my first official OB appointment with my new doctor. I'm discouraged because I did not gain back the weight I was hoping to, I lost another pound. I have been trying so hard to eat. If this were happening under regular circumstances, I would be thrilled. But each day my appetite returns a little bit more so I'm sure in no time I will be having the exact opposite problem.
It is amazing to me that a little baby is inside of me. I can feel the effects of it (cramping, nausea, etc.), but it's strange to not be able to see it or feel it moving. I am anxious to watch my belly grow.
It finally seems real to me now. I guess before I was too nervous to let myself believe I was going to have a baby. I was excited, but it didn't start to feel real until recently. I've been spending my lunch hours looking up nursery and shower ideas. This new journey is going to be so much fun.
