Doctor's Appointment and Weekend Update

Well I had a doctor's appointment Monday and I went but did not know I was about to have a Stomach Bug, so needless to say I went home after the doctor's appointment and went to bed and then recovered yesterday working at home.

The Doctor's appointment went great. His heartbeat was 138 and he measured right at 22 weeks, which is perfect. The next time I go, January 18th, I have to have the sugar test and then I start going every 2 weeks. Can you believe how fast this is going by?? I know I can't!! I just love him being in my tummy and feeling him move!! It is the best feeling I have ever experienced.

Weekend Update
The weekend was great. My nieces came into town late Friday night and Saturday we had Christmas at my grandmothers. It was a lot of fun and it is was a big Christmas. My grandmother got remarried this year (yes, she will be 83 in February and got remarried this year, you would never know that she was that old and she is still so very active, she would get mad at me for telling you her age, so keep it to yourself please!) So this year we had Freeman's(her husband) family over as well. They are so nice and it went really well. Then afterwards, we went back to my parents house and did Christmas with the girls since they are not able to come back up for Christmas. That was fun and boy were they so tired, we could not even get Carrie to finish opening her gifts!

Then Sunday Chad and I got up and went to Babies R Us to do some shopping. It was a lot of fun and the first time Chad and I had gone out together to shop. I have shopped many times, but not with him. So we picked out and actually bought the bedding (it should be here today!!). We picked out the furniture and all the big items (Pack N Play, Car Seat, Stroller, High Chair) so that was a lot of fun. We then met my mom and dad and the girls at Jim N Nicks in Hoover, and went to the Mall to ride the carousel! The girls loved all the lights and had so much fun. I am so glad that we got to do this with them. I should have pictures soon. I get them from my dad I will post some!

So Monday I came to work and did not feel 100% and thought it was pregnancy related. I went to the doctor and by the time I got back to work I knew something was off so I headed home. Good thing to as I had caught the stomach bug..... not fun at all. It has been so many years since I have had it (like I was so small I really do not remember it), well I will say it is not fun. I woke up yesterday feeling much better, but I was just so weak so I worked from home. I am back to work today; however, it is my last day until January 4th! I am so excited!! We are leaving for Gatlinburg on Sunday and will be gone a week!!!! I looked at the forecast and it looks like it is going to snow! I sure hope so! That will be so much fun!!

Well I hope that everyone has a very very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! There is so much going on with all my close friends and family. So many babies have been born in the last couple of months as well as so many on the way. I know how excited I am and how blessed I feel and I know that you all have so many blessings as well. Merry Christmas!!
