This year has flown by! We have been so busy lately that I feel like I can never catch up. We had a nice Christmas-we went to Concord for the 23rd and 24th for family Christmas happenings, then we came back to Hillsborough to have Santa come to our house. Jada was completely overloaded with everything Christmas morning! We set out all of the presents she got in Concord PLUS everything that Santa brought for her. It took her 2 hours to go through and unwrap everything! She was on such a sensory overload, she didn't even know where to start opening things! We finally started by opening her 2 barbie dolls then moved on to the Ariel toys, etc. We had a great day together~We are still trying to recover from it! Fast forward to Monday...I had another doctor's appointment (I will go once a week until the 19th) and Bella's heartbeat was in the 140s, everything appears normal. We did find out what to do if I go into labor, and that even if I do, I can still have a C-section. (YAY!)
Yesterday was my birthday, and Jada woke us up nice and early to celebrate. Wayne cooked me breakfast (cinnamon rolls) while I opened up my present. He got me a photo printer!! YAY! I am very happy with it because my only grip about us taking pictures is we never develop them. Now, we can pick and choose the ones we want when we take them without having to worry about going to the store, etc. The printer works really well. You can put in the memory card, hook it up to the computer as a printer, copy, and scan with it. It is a very cool present and Wayne also hooked me up with plenty of photo paper to last for awhile.
We went to the Cheesecake factory for dinner where I got the 30th anniversary chocolate cake cheesecake. It was heaven! After dinner, I wanted to take Jada to Build A Bear because we have never done that before, so we went and she made a dog. She named her dog Andalasia (from Enchanted) but we convinced her to call the dog Andi. We had fun stuffing the dog and all that goes with that. All in all, my birthday was very nice. Lots of birthday wishes via facebook and even a few phone calls. :)
Wayne has been working throughout this holiday time, and I have to go back to work on Friday. I should have been working on my maternity leave lesson plans, but it is proving to be more difficult than I thought. 4 lessons a day, with 50 days of leave. I have a schedule worked out, but I am struggling to actually write the lesson plans. I really an becoming preoccupied with trying to get ready for Bella that I am not motivated to do work over my "vacation."
Our baby shower is this weekend in Concord, and Wayne and I are very excited about it. Baby showers are just so much fun, and it makes things more real. Isabella will be here in about 2 weeks after the shower-so unreal! I organized Bella's room a little more this week, and my next project is to tackle Jada's room so she feels like she has her own space for herself and her stuff. I guess you could say I am nesting...
