Merry Christmas and New Year Resolutions!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I know it has been wonderful for me, especially being off for 5 days without having to take vacation days! I am definitely very relaxed. I was yelled at by my aunt about not blogging enough in her Christmas card. I have decided to make that my New Year's resolution to blog weekly. So be prepared to have some boring updates.

Everything is going well with the baby, he is kicking more and more every day. I have my sugar test next week which I am nervous about because of all the cookies I have been eating! There is still no name...I have decided this is the hardest decision I have ever had to make! We have a couple of names that we have been batting around but nothing permanent, yet. Kelly likes to call him "Senate Candidate Number 5" and there are other "temporary" names going around the family. The goal is to have a name by February.

Nothing else major is going on. Andy and I are both working a lot and don't see each other much. Today we are going on a date for the first time in a long time, we are both excited!

It's a BOY!

That's right we found out on Monday that we are having a boy! Now we have to start working on a name! Andy and I decided to surprise our parents and made recordings of his heartbeat and than went to Build-A-Bear and made a bear for each of the grandparents' house. I am not sure if the grandparents were surprised about the sex (since my mom has been referring to the baby as "him" for quite some time now) but they all were surprised about the bear!

Last night I got to experience my first bad night being pregnant. I got a flu bug and only got about 3 hours of sleep. The good news in that horrible evening was I finally felt a punch and kick, not just the head butts I have been feeling. I guess the stomach and intestinal spasms got the little guy going! I took the day off from work and am feeling much better.
