Christmas is over

Nothing really exciting going on now. Grandma came for Christmas and will stay through the new year. It's nice to have her down here in this nice weather. Christmas Eve was the traditional meal of Lefsa and Lutefisk with some swedish meatballs thrown in for those who don't like our traditions.. :) Then we got to open gifts. Every one was excited about their gifts and we had to come home and put one together - our new TV stand for the flat screen. We look modern now. :)

Dan and I also talked about next year when we have a little one roaming around, and what we want to start doing for traditions. Weird to be talking about next year already, but I guess there is no time like the present. :)

It's the end of the day, and we are both headed off to bed. After 3 days of not working, Dan is stir crazy, and my goal is to get my bedding picked out for the baby, so I can buy paint and have a painting party. :) Keep your fingers crossed for me, cuz I'm going to try like crazy to do it. :)

Have a Great Week that ends this year, and works it's way into the next. God Bless.

Our Big Day

Ok, It's official. We now can start referring to the baby with a gender. :) It's a boy!
It was fun to watch the Sonogram. She said that we have a healthy baby.

Practicing

We are playing with the new video camera that we got - so now I have to try and put it on the blog... Sooo, here's Jack
Wow, I never thought it could be that difficult to learn something new... lets only hope that it works.. :)

Well, it didn't. guess I will try another night. :(

Dan's Birthday

Pearl Harbor Day - the day all America remembers. And we have a special reason to remember it in our house - it's Dan's Birthday!!. We started out by going out to Fajittas for dinner - which ironically has become Dan's favorite resterant. On Saturday, we had my family over for some "Cake" - which he wanted a cookie - so I made sure I got one when I was out shopping for Xmas gifts.

Sunday left us by ourselves and we went out and bought a Christmas tree, and a Baby Dresser and Crib. That was fun trying to get them all in the house. The animals seem to love the tree. We just have to make sure the cats dont climb up it. I will make sure I get a good picture of it to post here - we might even get the video camera to work and be able to show the twinkling lights.

Nothing really new

So we had another Dr. Appt. yesterday. Again he just listened to the heartbeat - which by the way is 158. Talked about drinking more water, and asked if I've chosen a pediatrician.

Heck, I hadn't put much thought into a pediatrician...so he gave me a couple of numbers to call and check them out. Am I suppsed to "interview" them???? What do I ask them? I figured I would just go to the nearest Dr - just like I do for me, and then if I didn't like them - that's whne I would make a change. But I guess I need to know so they come visit the baby in the hospital. :)

Everyone seems to have a guess on whether it's a boy or girl. Really, a girl, seems to be winning. Only 2 people have indicated that I will have a boy. I did some researching online last night into myths about predicting the sex of the baby. According to the Chinese Lunar calandar, I will be having a girl. According to heartbeat, I will be having a girl, and according to whether Dan gains weight during the pregnancy, I will be having a boy. Although it was fun to look at the different myths... I know that we have to wait until my ultrasound, and then it doesn't mean that it's absolute. So, take a guess if you want, but I'm not putting much stock into what everyone says. As long as he/she is healthy, I will be happy. :)
