3 days till Christmas!!!

Last Friday was our last day before Christmas/New years break!! So I now have 2 weeks off of work, which I am so thankful for!! I am so happy that I have 2 weeks off of work during the first trimester.

I thought I understood when people would talk about how sick and tired they were all the time in their first trimester, but nothing quit prepares you to go through it yourself! It is still hard to believe that i'm pregnant! It's easy to say i'm pregnant, but to actually realize that there is a growing baby inside of me just blows me away!! I don't understand how anyone cannot believe in God! How can people not see that this is a miracle from God! Do they not understand how complex pregnancy is?? Think of all of the vital organs that are being formed, I just don't see how people can actually question that!!

I'm done with my Christmas shopping, as horrible as it sounds Chris' present was the last present I had to buy. I don't know why but I just couldn't think of anything that I really wanted to get him. I am so excited about Christmas, this time of the year is just so joyful!! This Christmas will be a little different though... every Christmas since I can remember we have gotten together with my dads side of the family on Christmas Eve. It has never failed that we always knew what we were doing on Christmas Eve! We've been doing this since I was born. This is the first Christmas Eve in 22 years that we are not getting together with them. That is not even the weirdest thing about it though, the weirdest thing is that it was never even brought up! No one decided that we're not getting together, it was just never mentioned! As if we hadn't being doing it for the last 22 years. I don't know I just found that strange!!

We are getting together with our friends to celebrate Christmas on Tuesday the 23rd, we are going to eat and just enjoy spending time with each other. Then on Christmas Eve we are doing Christmas with my family. My mom is cooking a Seafood Gumbo and we are all going to exchange our gifts and be with the family! I am so excited to give all of the kids their gifts!! On Christmas day we are going to Chris' family to celebrate Christmas! Then Christmas night Lendie, Jason, and Emmy will be here to do Christmas! I can't wait for all the excitement to start tomorrow!!

Everyone have a wonderful day!
To those reading this that I won't be seeing... MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

God's TIMING is ALWAYS right on..Boy did he know you would need 2 weeks to take things at your own pace and not be at work..The first 3 months are tough, but literally once its over, its super fun, and exciting to watch that belly grow.
