Christmas

Well, the day started off a lot earlier than we planned. Mercedes woke up and went downstairs and started into presents before we were awake. We decided to all get up and see what Santa left for us. Both of the kids were happy, especially with the candy. Mason wouldn't eat breakfast after eating all of the candy we would let him have.

After breakfast we finished opening presents. The kids seemed happy with theirs. Derek and I are also happy. I got a massage bed rest (with heating option), and Derek got two nice watches and a new pair of sunglasses he has been wanting. Plus the things from other friends and family. The really nice part is getting to sit at home and relax with each other. We don't have to go anywhere. Dinner is pretty simple this year, and the plan is to eat around 3. All in all a good day.

Right now, everyone else is taking a nap. Yep, the house is quiet. I don't know what to do : )

Micah is playng off and on, but that's ok, I like to know he's busy in there. Tomorrow marks week 22. The ultrasound confirmed another baby boy. Now if we can make it to April, all will be well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

News of the Week

Derek is out of school right now. He got XMAS lights hung up outside, and is going to start wrapping presents this week. He's got some other things to take care of too, but nothing pressing.

I was in San Antonio this week for some meetings. I really miss San Antonio! It felt like I was home. What a great city.

Overal, we are all doing well. No one has been extremely sick for a while (knock on wood), and the baby and I are doing well.

In fact, the baby is pretty active several times a day. I thought I started feeling kicks around week 14 or so, but now that we are at week 19, I know I am being kicked. That's good though, since it means the baby is maturing in there. We will find out the gender in a few weeks, so that will also be cool. We have a few names we have been kickng around but nothing confirmed.

We are all done with Christmas shopping! Yea! I hate waiting until the last minute. This means I can start worrying about next years presents : )
