Happy Christmas, Kiddies!

Hey Everyone,

Wishing y'all a happy Christmas. We hope that Santa was good to everyone (and if not, that should teach you to be a better person throughout the year, shouldn't it?). Christmas this year was fairly quiet considering that next year will be a little different. We decided to go green this year, so I bought a little tree in a pot to plant in the yard after the holidays. It was a little lopsided so I had to buy it. I named her Clarissa. She's got character.

We're looking forward to 2009 and hopefully all the good things it will bring. There are three babies on the way in the family: myself, Julie, and Ellen (my sister-in-law who is due in May with her first baby boy). Although it is entirely possible that Julie goes early and has her boy in before 2008 is over.

Winter has officially gripped San Diego and it has been coooooooold out here. Now I know that our version of cold and your version of cold are two separate things but the way I look at it is that ANY version of cold is not good. I say this with a hot water bottle snuggled in my lap.

We've all been good over here although the sleeping issues have finally seemed to have caught up to me. I'm still taking the Unisom but I think my body is adjusting to it because it's taking me forever to get to sleep. This has caused some exhaustion during the day, but I'm glad I've managed to stave off the lack-of-sleep thing for so long. I don't know if I can take a higher dosage of Unisom, so I'll have to ask my doctor on my next visit. Other than that, things have been going fairly well over here. In fact, it's been a little boring but that's most likely due to my high laziness levels. The sofa is still my best friend.

Oddly enough, you would think that my ever-loving sweets diet mingled with my lack of movement would have me weighing ten million pounds but most of the weight has gone directly to the belly. Here's some pics of me looking tired, but nonetheless pregnant. As you can see from the front view, this baby is all sideways for which I'm eternally grateful.

Ditto all the comments lil' sis. You look great! I was all out front with brendan, but those girls kicked my bazooka......LOL. Keep the posts and the photos coming....i have to admit, I'm still waiting for you to pull out the pillow and crack up laughing! It is so weird seeing you pregnant! And a little "mommy" secret...pregnant women never sleep at night. it's the body's way of preparing you for being up feeding the baby!!!!

Has anyone ever told you stripes make you look wider? How thin you must be -oh wait you're pregnant - that explains the stripe effect....I am just kidding - you look beautiful!!
