Happy Holidays

So I thought I would start a blog to share all of the experiences we are having since we found out in Sept. that baby Peanut would be joining the family. Well, it is now late December and I am finally posting my third entry. Oh well... I will blame it on the pregnancy and the busy time of the year. Peanut is now 18 weeks along. We will find out (hopefully) on Monday, if the baby is a he or a she. I think Peanut is a he. So far this pregnancy has been almost exactly like my first with James. And everyone says that you know in your gut. I knew James was a boy. I don't feel that same strong feeling, but my gut says a boy. At least I don't have to go out and buy all girly toys. I have everything a little boy would want (and more).

Our holidays so far, have not been what I imagined. James was so excited this year. He is two and a half, so he could finally understand (sort of) what was happening. He e-mailed Santa that he wanted a green pair of scissors and cars. I was so looking forward to Christmas morning. I had it all planned in my head... Then disaster... Daddy got sick. Then James got sick. Then I got sick... Christmas Eve at my parents was a struggle. We were all miserable. That night wasn't any better. By the time morning rolled around, none of us were in the mood. We just went thought the motions. Daddy is finally feeling better, but James and I are still not good. I hope that we are better soon. I just hate to see my poor baby miserable.

That is all for now. I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season. I hope that next year brings you all that you desire. Till later...
