Active Baby

Today we had an appointment with our doctor, who by the way is great! A little while after we checked in and were sitting in the waiting area a nurse came out and announced that our doctor had to run deliver a baby but that it shouldn't be that long of a wait. It wasn't, I told Mark it's crazy that you can just "run deliver a baby"! Anyways....it was a bit of a wait though for a short appointment. I think we saw the doctor for a total of maybe 10 minutes! We got to hear the heartbeat again!!! It is so crazy that you can hear a baby's heartbeat when they are that small! When Dr. Hajovsky was trying to find the heartbeat the baby kept moving around a lot! She had to chase it around for a little bit! So I think we will definitely have an active little one come May. Oh I can't wait!!! So that's really all the latest baby news.
Other than that we are getting ready for Christmas. So I'm all about having traditions with the family, and one I am trying to get started for us is that right after Thanksgiving we take one day to put up all of our Christmas decorations and have lots of goodies to eat and end the evening by watching a Christmas movie. It's just a great day for some good family time. So this day for us was supposed to be last Saturday but come to find out, half of our Christmas decorations were no where to be found...including the lights for our Christmas tree. We looked everywhere with no luck so we went out and bought some new lights for our tree and then I spent like 3 hours putting them on the tree. Needless to say the day did not turned out as planned because we didn't have our decorations so I gave up and went to see my friends. When I got home we plugged in the ornamentless tree and discovered that a strand of lights was no longer working. With all my efforts to fix it I went to bed feeling like a failure and with my hormones all over the place I cried. Not just a little....it felt like the end of the world that night. I know this sounds dramatic but hey...I'm pregnant! I don't have to explain my feelings, they are what they are. So anyways, all is well now, our house looks great and we will try again next year. I love the Christmas season!
