Ringing in 2009

I was happy to say goodbye to 2008. There were a lot of great moments like our friends and family’s weddings, conceiving Matthew, and buying a house to name a few. But there was just too much going on 2008 that it was nice to say out with the old and in with the new.

2009 brought me much cheer right away since my parents came in from California on 1/1/09. It was their first time to Dallas and it was amazing to see them since it had been over 5 months. Luckily the weather was in the 70’s most of the time they visited. You would have thought they were in Southern California weather but the lack of mountains and beaches brought you back to reality.

Bob started back teaching on 1/6/09 and he is trying to get back in the grind. It is crazy to hear the presents his junior high kids have gotten for Christmas such as the iphone and itouch. I cannot think of my parents allowing me to own something that expensive at that age. Plus I would have lost it or broken it before I got my money’s worth. . .

I am now going to the regular OB every two weeks until I hit 32 weeks. I am hoping that my specialist does not put me on that schedule as well since it is hard to have multiple appointments on the same day or even work. I have to come in early or stay late to make-up the time. This week is my first free week of appointments in the past 4 or 5 weeks! There is nothing wrong but they are just getting more cautious throughout the pregnancy. I am going to the specialist on Monday so I will be sharing ultrasound pics later that week. Maybe he will pose better this next time around.
