Happy New Year -
Wow 2009 really flew by! So much happened for us, it's almost surreal to look back...I had just started a new job with Susan G. Komen St. Louis (Nov. '08), we found out we were pregnant in June and then we bought and moved into a new house in August! Now we're about 7 weeks away from meeting our son Jack and I have a feeling 2010 is going to be just as exciting!
Some updates since the last time I posted:
- glucose test was negative - yeah!
- started our baby classes at the hospital - so far not worth our time...9 hour class could have been taught in 2 hours max. However it was funny to see and hear all of the dads that just didn't have a clue. One guy asked where he was going to sleep and did the hospital feed him - seriously??! Terry and I almost fell out of our chairs laughing...at least this Saturday, we'll be able to tour the maternity ward at the hospital and get some baby care basic training.
- working on the nursery - my wonderful Aunt Lisa has generously offered to paint for us. Not only do Terry and I both despise painting but Lisa actually enjoys it and is very talented at drawing animals therefore she's going to paint the walls yellow and then paint jungle animals in bright colors :) I will post pictures in a few weeks.
- my girl friends from high school threw me a fun circus themed shower over the holidays and I got some really cute stuff including a beautiful cross-stitched quilt from my Grandma Gordon that will be displayed proudly in Jack's room
I have a big family shower for both sides (Terry & mine) coming up on January 23rd therefore I'll make sure to take some pictures to post.
Til then - stay warm!
Allison
