Comic Relief

Okay, so I decided to hang up my blogging apron and call it quits for a while. I was doing anyone who reads this thing a favor. I've never been a regular journal-ist except for brief entrys written when I got sent to my room in maybe the 4th grade and was mad and bored. Each entry started with a dramatic overstatement. For example, it probably started with, "This is the worst day of my life!", "It was soo embarrassing!", or "I'm going to die!" and so on. Since this baby girlie has a wild desire to grace us with her presence too soon, I have been somewhat grounded to my house/bedroom lately. So lets just say if I would have been an active blogger this month, it would have resembled my 4th grade writing style or maybe even worse, full of the typical pregnant blogger TMI and over sharing situations and possibly some foul language. I have been so worried and anxious not to mention frustrated when I couldn't do as much as I would have liked for Christmas or to prepare for our little bundles arrival. Thankfully I was able to break out for a few fun Christmas get togethers, a some short trips to run errands, and even temple lights on Christmas Eve! It has restored my sanity to mingle with friends and family.

All in all though it has turned out to be a great Christmas season for our family. One Christmas miracle was just to still be pregnant this Christmas and I just hope and pray my body will do its job for at least another month so this sweet little honey can get her beauty rest! I think I over did it thought around Christmas because lately my contractions are pretty killer.

In the mean time here are a few things that have made me smile thinking about having a girl.

This is one of the covers for a story my little sister Waverly did for school. It was in her reject pile. I guess Smiling butterfly's with guns is a little too edgy for 1st grade... and yes, that box at the bottom is a bomb.

Okay so I've spent alot of time on You Tube. This VIDEO makes me wish Greg was a china man. So precious.
