Vacation and Other Holidays

Hi World,

So its been approximately 10 years since I posted and I apologize for my sucking. Now that we have that out of the way, what's been going on?

Hubs and I went on vacation for a week and half with his family. We all headed down to Orlando and stayed at Orange Lake resort and it was mahvelous! The weather was insanely beautiful every. single. day. We're talking lower 80s, upper 70s sunshiney and bee-you-ti-full. I'd say I want to go back right now, but FL is having a cold spell so I think it might take some of the oomph out of the swimming. We were there the week of Thanksgiving and in addition to spending time at the resort, we also got to eat turkey with my family (Mom's Thanksgiving, is there anything better on this earth?!). We also hit Disney and SeaWorld both of which we fun, but left me wanting to go again when I'm not baking a small person. I would have loved to ride some more rides and my back was YURTING hardcore by the end of those days. Who knew pregnancy slowed you down LOL.

Since we've been back, the focus has been on getting ready for the holidays. The bestie and I had our annual cookie baking day on Sunday and boy howdy do I have some cookies in my house now! Christmas shopping is almost done, just the brother and the husband left. Both of them seem to just buy what they want and there's nothing left to gift them!


In Scooter news, she's moving constantly. Last week my belly moved of its own accord for the first time and that was quite the sight! Scott's felt her twice now, although she still tries to play shy on us and won't move on command. Sooo my daughter :o) We saw the Maternal Fetal specialist at the end of November and he kept using the word "perfect" and really, is there anything more you want to hear about your baby and pregnancy? I think not! I only have to see them once a month now, and no more internal exams! Woo flippin hoo! I go see my OB on Friday and have my glucose screen so prayers please that that goes well. I just passed the early screen so today is my last day of carbs until my exam to clean my blood up for the test. The thought of insulin shots doesn't really scare me but the thought of pricking my finger 4 times a day is terrifying! Otherwise I've been feeling good. Starting to feel larger, have a few braxton hicks and my joints feel looser, but all that is par for the course at this point. Ohhhh, and we painted the nursery! So excited to get everything organized.

I think that about does it! Again, apologies for being a slacker, I'll try to be better.
