2009 yearly round up: November - December

2009 November - December

November - finally fall was in full swing.  i got a chance to share with you my new halloween decorations, our halloween costumes, and we attended a pretty serious pumpkin carving party.  i loved having my parents in town and posted about our wonderful visit and all the two different hikes we took while they were here; one just down the street at lincoln park and the other at Twin Falls.  we continued to work on the house and with a pretty significant push we advanced the mud room; installing flooring, adding cabinets, and filling the much needed storage.  then there was that $900.00 vet weekend... and Bamboo in his little blue collar.

December - i sort of fell off the face of the earth in December.  i started off strong with a lighting update on the house and pictures of our picture rail... then, well, poof.  sorry about that but whoa was there stuff going on.  i was working on a number of christmas presents that i will be able to share with you in the next few weeks and there was my birthday... i didn't even post about my presents.  shame shame.

what really threw us off track was that JD and i found out we are going to be adding another member to our crazy family.  (a BABY... a BABY.... we are going to have a BABY)

we were obviously still trying but i had talked myself out of the possibility that i could be pregnant.  i did that so that when i found out that we weren't, it wouldn't hurt so badly.  then, the first week of december while doing our monthly pee on a stick test the most amazing thing happened.  i wasn't even paying attention... then i looked again.  two lines?  two lines?  wait what does two lines mean?  it can't be real... but it was.

that week we went to the doctors for confirmation and found out, on my birthday that we were going to have a baby, we were going to be parents.  pretty sweet birthday gift huh?  last year i got baker and this year a baby... JD is going to have a pretty hard time competing with that next year!

i fell off the face of the earth because i was trying to get my head around the fact that we were going to have a baby.  that coupled with fear, panic, excitement, and perpetual morning sickness sort of stopped me dead in my tracks.  thankfully though, now at almost 4 months... i am feeling much better.  i will have to share a story or two about my bout with morning sickness, but for now i am happy to share the news with you all that sometime in august we will have a new little bundle of joy to share with the world and that is the best news ever.
