We're nearing the end of the pregnancy! And I'm really looking it, too - so big, and still growing. I'm feeling good, but it is uncomfortable to have such a big belly. We are so excited, but I admit that I am nervous about the labor and delivery part - especially since we didn't get to take a prenatal class. I wish we had, but it just wouldn't work out, and I know there are tons of women who have had babies without taking a class, so it'll all be okay. Right?
I'm having fun getting the baby's room put together. We picked up the baby's crib and dresser on Saturday (which we got a great deal on - who doesn't love a great deal?), and I think it's so cute! I'll post pictures when it's done.
Here's to counting down the days! I just hope we come up with a name before Baby Boy arrives!
2008 was a good year! It went by so fast.
We started 2008 as real grownups; all finished with student life. Ryan started work with Lydig Construction, and we bought and moved into our first house in January. We're slowly making a few improvements, and it's starting to feel more like home. I worked a little throughout the year as a substitute teacher and as a teacher at a reading clinic.
During the summer, we went to a SeaHawks game, to plenty of Mariners games, and even saw the Sonics before they left Seattle. We spent many a Saturday or Sunday with Ryan's family, a few weekends in Portland with my sister and her family, and even had family come visit from Canada a few times! Erin and I also made the long drive home with her two kids for a week. Summer also brought exciting news! TT got engaged to Carson, and we found out that we were having a baby!
The holiday season just flew by. My family came down for Canadian Thanksgiving, we spent American Thanksgiving with the Dahles, and then went home for Tiera and Carson's wedding and a Canadian Christmas with the Crapos! We even brought in the new year while in Canada.
Now, in 2009, we have plenty to look forward to. Only a couple more months and we'll have a little boy in our little family, and we know that will bring a lot of excitement this coming year! We're looking forward to all the good that's coming in 2009!
Happy New Year!
