Ninja Practice

On Christmas Eve morning Robert got to feel the baby kick. At first he thought it was me laughing, but I assured him I was not laughing, and he kept feeling him move -- the baby was very active that morning. From the time I woke up for about 2 hours, it was like ninja pactice was happening in my tummy.

Xander got his first Christmas presents. We had already gotten a cute picture frame and an outfit & CD from co-workers. His grandparent Jacobs got him books, and his grandparent Serios got him diapers, a toy, some onesies, and swaddling blankets. We also got a new ornament (Finding Nemo) because we are painting the nursery over the Christmas Break. Robert also got him an Arkansas Razorback Mobile and another Arkansas Razorback toy.

Robert primed the room this morning and Scotty helped a little with the top of the walls. And it is now snowing like crazy outside. It is driving me crazy that I can't be in there painting. If I were to paint I would be paying for it big time. I was so sore after taping off the room, and I am not sure how much I would be able to paint anyway. Robert and Chonte will paint the sky tomorrow. The water will probably have to wait until Thursday. And Friday, New Year's Day, we will be painting in all the little ocean critters. I hope to have as much help as possible on that day!!

I got maternity shirts for Christmas from Mom, and a maternity swim suit that I just got today. The maternity suit makes me look VERY pregnant, and I still have a long way to go, but there is still room in the suit for my belly to keep expanding.

I hope all of you have a great holiday!
