Christmas and Preparations

Christmas was soooooo much fun. I would post pictures but I just don't have the time right now with our moving preparations. We pack up the storage unit tomorrow and head to H-town either Tuesday or Wednesday.
First off let me tell you about Christmas. We went to this amazing cabin at Beaver Creek, the first day was beautiful and sunny. There was tons of snow but it was too powdery for me to build my first ever snowman, sad huh? But we spent the day with everyone playing in the snow with their sleds and making snow angels. Then we had Christmas eve dinner and opened our pjs and spent time with all of Sean's cousins, aunts, uncles etc. It was great. On Christmas morning we were determined to sleep in, but since some of the group were sick and woke up coughing really early in the morning we all decided to get up and open gifts at around 8 am. Sean and I got lots of neat stuff for us, and some stuff for our little baby from family. It was really great, I enjoy watching people open gifts, it is my favorite, especially if they like what I got them. Christmas day it dumped the most snow I have ever seen in my entire life. It was a blizzard, there was no letting up, so our plan to go snowmobiling didn't work out. However, we had a blast hanging out inside with everyone. We had a brunch that was spectacular, then a fun white elephant gift trading with all of the cousins, and then ended the day with a scrumptious feast and talent show. It was one of the most fun family reunion Christmas things we ever went to.

Now we are back at home and finished packing the last few boxes and deciding what to take with us to Houston. We are nervous and excited about the big move, Sean is anxious about his work he will be doing but I think he will do great. It is going to be a fun adventure for the next few months, wish us luck on our long drive! I will hopefully be able to blog when we get there, but first they will have to connect the internet, so who knows how long that will take.

22 Wks. still a tiny belly

Sean wanted me to post his lovely picture he took. Once again he is sitting down below me, so not the best angle, but my belly is definitely bigger this month. Not big, bigger than before though.

Crazy Crazy Crazy

Well and add Lazy too. I'm going crazy, I'm not too lazy, but I have been taking my time getting going in the mornings which is now causing me stress. I have a little over a week to get everything into boxes that we are not currently using. I just have to get everything ready before we leave for Christmas so that on moving day all we need to do is load the storage unit. I'm really stressed out. It is making me go crazy. I try to pack things, but I think I am terrible at packing, I just can't seem to get it together. I put lots of random things together and I'm thinking that when we move back it is going to be a pain, especially if my mom is here to help us unpack, she always tells me how terrible I did at packing. I am also a huge packrat, I have been getting rid of things, but it is hard for me. This is just tough, Sean thinks I'm overreacting, which I probably am, but these things just make me crazy. Wish me luck!

20 Weeks?

Well, we went in for our 20 week ultrasound on Wednesday and it was so fun once again to see our little girl, who is still a girl and not a boy that was hiding like some family members were hoping, haha. After taking the leg measurement the ultrasound tech started asking us our heights because the baby had little legs, then after she finished all her measurements she said they are all smaller than normal for 20 weeks and she changed my due date to April 28. Ten whole days later than my original due date. I think it is impossible. We must just be having a small baby, that would make me only 18 weeks now, and that just can't be. I was a little bit upset. Not because I will be pregnant longer, it is just that I am excited to meet her and that means I would have to wait even longer for that. Anyways, luckily I believe that baby will come when she is ready and will probably not be on any specific due date. I definitely have been feeling her move for the last two weeks and have a tiny belly which I don't think would have come any earlier because I haven't been gaining a ton of weight. I mean I was a tiny baby, so maybe I'm just having a tiny baby. Which in the end wouldn't a tiny baby make things much easier for me, I think so. At least we know that she is very healthy and everything is developing great, she is so cute so far in her little alien pictures. I will update with Thanksgiving feast pictures later.

My tiny belly

I am 18 weeks pregnant now, and this week my tiny little belly appeared. It doesn't really look pregnant, but I can no longer suck it in to make it look flat. It is weird. Sean was sitting when he took this picture of me, and I made an awful face, but he has a short attention span and I can only get him to take one at a time for me, silly boy.

Blessing in Disguise

Well, my boss was a jerk and was killing me for a long time. I have been wanting to quit basically since I started working there. This week she kept saying how there isn't enough work for me and that she doesn't really need me and so I got so fed up with the other abusive things she was saying to me that I quit/was let go for not really having a position there anymore. At first I was really stressed out about this worrying what the heck am I going to be doing for the next few weeks before we move, I can't just not be working or I will go crazy. So I went to the mall today and pretty much have a job already, of course I'm not really making as much money as I was at the horrid job, but it will be fun and keep me really busy for the holiday season, and I will be able to use medicaid instead of having to pay a ton for insurance and the deductible. So pretty much it all worked out. I worked for the wicked witch for too long I think, I should have quit a week ago, I feel so relieved. I cannot explain to you the misery I have been living in the past few months/year of working there. Sean will finally get to stop listening to me complain about how I hate my job and wish I could quit now and that my boss makes me cry because she is so mean to me for no reason and just treats me like dirt. I have never been so underappreciated at a job before and it was really hard for me, I am just so happy that I could quit and get a job so quickly and that everything will be ok for us. Technically I don't really need to work right now, financially we would be fine, but I need something to do to keep me busy and from going crazy. I am so happy, I feel so light like a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I thought quitting would be a bad thing, luckily it has turned into a blessing in disguise.

It's a .....

GIRL!!!!!
We are so excited to meet this little one, she was very funny to watch during the ultrasound, she did not want to turn and let us see her, I had to poke her pretty hard and she jumped it was hilarious to watch. I can't believe it. Sean still seems to beilieve that it is a boy, he thinks that they were wrong at the ultrasound place, so we will see in a month when the doctor does one. For now, here are some photos of her first photos...

This is how she started out, and she did not want to move from this position.
proof that it's a girl!!!

her cute profile, I don't know why the computer turned it sideways though.
