Christmas and the final countdown!

This weekend marks my sister's birthday and Christmas, and it is always an exciting holiday. And Matt's favorite, except perhaps Halloween. Next Christmas we will have a little girl to think about, but for this year, it is just us and our family, and I hope for a relaxing day.

Next weekend my darling niece Leila turns 1, and it must have been the fastet year ever!

Speaking of time passing swiftly, Monday begins the third trimester, the final stretch. It is amazing that in only these few months two cells became an entire little person! It boggles my mind, and I cannot even fathom seeing her little face. 9 weeks until a safe full term, and 13 until her due date.. The time flies by. We don't even have a crib picked out! We need to get on the ball!

A happy Christmas to all, and a joyful New Year.
