Sorry for not posting in a while. We had a wonderful, white Christmas this year. It was so special I think for both of us and I think Delaney had a nice time. We woke up early Christmas morning and Zap made cinnamon rolls and we opened presents. I wanted to delay it some just to soak in the experience of our first Christmas in our new home and with Delaney, but Zap was eager to open presents.
Needless to say, Zap spoiled me this year, like he always does. My big gift was a set of two Disney snowglobes that are actually bookends. One has older Disney characters with old animation methods and the other has newer Disney characters with new animation methods. I'm fascinated by it. I put it up over the fireplace and it looks so nice. I was worried about putting it on the illusion shelves, but they're supported.
Delaney got some great toys: a rocking puppy, some blocks, a parachute, some new clothes, and on and on. Next year, she'll be tearing up wrapping paper I'm sure. This year we had a hard time getting her into it.
We were nice and lazy Christmas morning and then Zap's family came over around 1. We had spaghetti for lunch and opened family gifts.
We didn't do anything for New Year's Eve..In fact, we were in bed by 10:00. We're just worn out. Zap's having to pick up so much slack with me feeling this icky from the pregnancy and he's exhausted. But he doesn't complain and he works so hard. I married a wonderful man.
In pregnancy news, all seems to be well. I have my first appointment with a doctor on the 14th and I talked a nurse into scheduling an ultrasound just to make sure that all is well and she scheduled it for the 12th at 3:30, so I'm really excited about that. I've been having really significant back pain and also some arthritis pain in my hands and elbows, so I plan to talk to the doctor about those issues. I had back pain with Delaney but I haven't had anything resembling arthritis pain in years.
I'm excited about the pregnancy but I'm not sure that it's at that "this is fun" stage. It's so different than with Delaney. My great friend Kate is almost 20 weeks pregnant (wow..Katie..1/2 way there) and she called last week and let me vent to her and it was so helpful. This is a very much wanted and tried for pregnancy with her and she's excited about every little thing, as she should be. Having someone who feels that way makes me feel more excited about this little bean (who Zap is calling "toot"..hopefully the nickname won't stick).
That's about it..I start work again tomorrow and get back into the swing of things. .. When's Spring Break??? :)
