No news has to be good news...right?

Well there isn't much to update about the pregnancy. I am still at 1cm and nothing much is happening. But I was ok to hear that since my husband was out of town until today. Now...it's ok if he wants to come but I'm content to have him wait another week or so. We did have an ultrasound and he's looking to be about 7.5 pounds. Maybe I don't want him in there too much longer otherwise he'll be nearing the 9 pound mark (ahhhh). It's just a waiting game now but he's healthy and I'm happy!

38 Weeks

Wow...I look like a baloon. And I feel like a hippo. The memories I will have forever. I have a doctor's appointment today...hopefully I've progressed from 1 cm which was last week. But not too much...I would like him to wait another 2 weeks. That's when Grandma Facer will be here! Werid...my mom as "Grandma Facer". So exciting though. I'll update about the appointment later!

It's the week of Television

So I have to admit to my little addiction to T.V. I have some very specific television shows that I watch and then other than those shows, I don't watch anything else. My list seems to be getting longer though and I'm watching more t.v than ever before (that's what no job and waiting for a baby do for you.) In no particular order....



Comes back tonight




Also back on tonight

Season 7 started last Sunday and then continues Mondays



Season 5 starts Wednesday....I am so very very excited for this one!



The series began its 1st season fall '08. It comes back Tuesday



Season 8 started Monday



New episodes started Jan.9th and continue on Mondays



No new episodes; I record and watch the old ones over and over again. I laugh so hard!

Wow, I now sound like a complete couch potatoe. I swear my house is clean, I do the laundry, I make dinner for my hubby every night, and I have a life! But I do love these shows.

Our Christmas Holiday

So I just kept putting off a new post for Christmas because I did not have pictures yet....But WHO NEEDS PICTURES!

Is there a blogging rule that you cannot post unless you attach cute photos? NO! And so, while I await the pictures from my in-laws (note to self: Always bring own camera to Christmas so as to not rely on others)....I will post with words and perhaps get pictures on later.

It's really over. The whole Holiday Season; gone. It was just amazing though. I have already mentioned the wedding we had. What a crazy weekend! I worked way to much for my current condition but I think it's in my blood. I can't just stand around and say, "oh I'm pregnant...I'll just sit here." I feel guilty that everyone around is bustling to do this or that and as a true blooded Facer, you just are not satisfied with watching and waiting. That wedding weekend, I was up late working on details, worked all day Friday to set up at the reception, got up super early to do Lindsey's bridal hair, and kept going and going with the festivities. Amidst all the glory of the wedding, I was stressing and preparing for our Sunday Christmas Sacrament Program. The one I was completely in charge of. I pulled it off though. In fact I have never received such generous compliments from so many people. I am grateful for the Spirit which was felt, I know that I could not do it without the Spirit and I'm so glad that it was present.

The next few days (22-24) were a little bit calmer. The days consisted of gingerbread house making, doctor's appointment, haircuts, gourmet dinner prep and eating, games, nativity scene reinactment, Christmas Eve seafood dinner, present wrapping, stockings stuffed, and anticipation for the Day of Christmas.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Oh what a day. It's like the baby knew what day it was because at 5:30am...kick, kick, flip, movement, kick. I was not going back to sleep. Half hour later the little kids came in (we slept over at the in-laws almost an entire 2 weeks over the holidays). The madness began. Everyone was in their Christmas Eve jammies, and all the girls had french braids from the night before. We went around the room; youngest to oldest, one at a time until the tree stood empty. A few highlights for me....

baby swing, playpen, clothes, etc
fuzzy crocs
Guitar Hero World Tour (yes David got it for ME,hmm)
piano lamp
necklace for all the girls to match
down comfortor King Size! (we have a queen bed but
don't fight over covers anymore)

The list, of course, could go on. We played guitar hero with two guitars and a singer (we have yet to get drums), then just hang out playing new board games, eating way too much food and spending the entire day in our pajamas. No one got out of them until the next day. Boxing day was a continual of games and lounging. The family played a great game of football and we had dinner with other friends and family.

And before we all knew it...2009 was at the door. Happy New Year! I love that I am back in my own bed, in my own house. I have set up all the baby stuff and have started the laundry process for all his new clothes, blankets, bedding, etc. I am excited for time to fly out the window and for labor to begin. Ok so maybe that last part I'm not 'excited' for....but I want to have a baby to hold; I guess that means I do want labor to come...ahhhhh!

Hope all had a merry holiday season.
