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.

I can't wait to find out what you guys are having! I have a feeling it is a princess but would be honored to be an aunt to either one:)

So glad you are feeling better. That was a rough couple months.
It is so fun having Baby Carpenter be a part of our Christmas celebration this year!
