So far, we're off to a great start. We put up the indoor decorations and Grace loves to push all the buttons that make the music boxes play and the dancing Christmas puppy sing and to point out Baby Jesus and Holy Mary in our crib set. We'll be headed to a mall someday soon to visit Santa, but I'm not optimistic that Grace will be as willing to sit on his lap as she was last year - it's worth a try though :).
Let's see, what else? OH - we found out that Tony's brother Mike and his wife Amanda are expecting their first baby in June; a big CONGRATULATIONS to them! AND our friends Angela and Ryan told us they will be welcoming their first baby in May. Way to go everyone!! Let the baby boom begin :)
Speaking of babies booming - I think I grow one inch rounder each day. Seriously - I have to hold my breath when I bend over to tie my shoes now and I think I almost passed out after carrying Grace and groceries up the steps yesterday. It's very exciting to see how close we are getting to the arrival of our second baby (only about 3 months to go). I have to do the Glucose test at my next OB appointment (a standard screening for gestational diabetes) - and I am definately NOT looking forward to it. It's not physically painful, but I do have to drink a bottle of yucky sugar syrup and last time instead of a the expected sugar-high, I fell into a deep sugar-coma and fell asleep in the waiting room. Very embarassing :)
We are still brainstorming about names, but I think last time we didn't decide on our final choices until very close to my due date - we'll keep you all posted. Some time after Christmas we will begin Grace's move to her big girl room and start gearing up for a newborn in the nursery, but not just yet.
