I can't believe we're almost 6 months along in this pregnancy! Only 17 weeks left (if baby decides to stay for the full 40 weeks). She's kicking away as I type right now! She is about the size of a grapefruit this week. She weighs a little over a pound now and is beginning to fill out with some fat deposits around her body...Translation: her weight gain = weight gain for me too! Here goes ;) She can hear and sense all of my movements too! What a little miracle :)
Christmas really is my favorite time of year! I love Christmas decorations, Christmas music, Christmas activities, spending time with family, and anything else that has to do with Christmas! Our calendar has filled up with Christmas activities:
This past weekend I had my work Christmas party and then went with Jo, Kim, and Zach to Mellow Mushroom and to see the drive-thru light show at the Pelicans Stadium. It was really neat. We set our radio to the Christmas station and the lights danced accordingly!
Saturday we headed to Charleston for Phil and Kristin Richardson's big day! The ceremony was at the Citadel Chapel, which was all decorated for Christmas. The reception was at the Creek Club at I'on and it was beautiful! We had a great time catching up with old friends and then went and stayed with Murph and Laura for the night. It's always fun to visit with such sweet friends :)
Sunday we hurried home to our furry girl (who stayed at home by herself for the night and couldn't go outside to go potty bc we left the wrong key for friends to let her out...whoops)! We had a pretty lazy day until supper club group arrived around 6:30, dressed for Christmas of course! We had salad, shrimp and grits, bread, and apple pie with ice cream for dessert! We also had fun doing our annual ornament exchange. That's another Christmas favorite of mine...ornaments!!
Tuesday night, we concluded our Bible study on Esther. It was such a blessing to study this book with all of these sweet girls. I think everyone enjoyed the study but also enjoyed meeting other girls who live in the MI area. We celebrated the final night with a pot-luck dinner and another ornament exchange!!
This week Joseph and I plan on finishing our Christmas shopping because Joseph will be resting all weekend after he gets his wisdom teeth out on Friday :/ Pray that it all goes smoothly and for a quicky recovery because we have his extended family's Christmas party on Sunday.
Christmas countdown= 13 days, Baby countdown= 17 weeks!
