Why would anyone dream of a white Christmas?

Our Christmas was... interesting to say the least! We had fun with our families, but getting to and from our families was quite an adventure. Around 12 o'clock we headed out to Adam's parents house to celebrate with them. The whole time I was driving I was just getting an awful feeling. I started getting hysterical and bawling the whole time I'm driving. We got to the road that goes to their house and it was blocked off with barricades. So we decided to turn around and head home. Well, while we were turning around we got stuck and some really nice people came to help us get unstuck. So we got going again, and got stuck again. So the same people helped us again. We got home and by this time I'm crying so hard that the dog came to comfort me. He was such a sweety! It stopped snowing and Adam's family came down to our house for a couple of hours and we opened presents and had a good time. Then by 5 o'clock we headed over to my sister, Amy's house for my family party. The roads were clear at this point and the snow had stopped for quite a while. So we thought we were safe for the night. We had dinner at my sister's house and opened presents there. Then when it was time to leave we made it about 20 feet when we got stuck. We sat on 6200 south heading west for about 45 minutes before we had my brother-in-law, Greg, and brother, Danny, come get us and take us back. They drove my car in reverse back to the house and parked it out front. While they were driving it back, the radio was flickering on and off and just going weird. My sister offered for us to stay the night so we did. We tried to move my car into their driveway so they snow plows could come through, but the car wouldn't start! So it was just left there all night. In the morning Greg and Adam jump started the car and moved it to the driveway. While moving it to the driveway it got stuck so they had to tow it back out. Once it was unstuck, Adam drove it to the side of the house where the snow plows had been. After they moved the car, a plow had hit a truck while plowing their street. My sister made us breakfast (yummy banana pancakes) and we headed home. We slid a couple times going home, but we made it back okay. All of this trouble with my car getting stuck in the snow made me say, "Okay, that's it, we're getting new cars that can drive in the snow." So we're looking to replace my car and get Adam's car replaced sometime after. I've already found a car I like and it's not too expensive. So we'll see how that goes. Christmas this year was definitely an adventure! I hope to not have to do that again!!!

Heartburn

For any of you who have seen the movie Juno, I can now relate to one of the lines in that movie. "I have heartburn radiating from my knee caps." Hee hee! I've never had heartburn this bad in my life! I rarely even got it before I was pregnant and even then it wasn't bad enough to take anything for. A couple nights this month I've been up past midnight because it was so bad I couldn't even lay down and my tums weren't working! That happened last night. I think I finally drifted off around 1:00. So this is just a great new adventure for me in this pregnancy and I wouldn't change a single experience! I'm loving being pregnant and it'll be a sad but wonderful day when he is born!

Side shot

So I realized I don't have a single picture of me being pregnant. So I decided to post a side shot of me on our blog. Now that I see a picture of me I didn't know I was sticking out that much! Goodness! Adam decided that instead of calling me "fat" he'll just call me "jolly". So we joke around about that all the time! Hee hee! I have such a silly husband! 

This weekend we went to Mervyn's at Valley Fair Mall because they're going out of business and everything was 50% off. We got $120 worth of baby clothes for $62. I just can't stop looking at the clothes. They're just too cute!! I'm just getting more and more excited for him to get here! I'm scared stiff about the labor part but it'll be worth it in the end.

Also this weekend I decided to dye my hair. So now it's a darker brown with red in it. You can't really tell from this picture though. I just had a lot of fun this weekend. Thursday was a little stressful trying to get my house clean and get all the food ready for Adam's family to come over for Thanksgiving. Thankfully my sister-in-law helped me a lot!!! She even washed my pots and pans for me! It was very nice of her and I was very thankful for her help. Dinner went smoother than I thought it would and even though I was so dang tired after dinner was done, I had a good time.

Today we went to Adam's good friends home coming. James is home!!!!! YAY!!!! His talk was so cool! Just hearing all of his stories was awesome! I was glad to see he was the same old James as before! It felt like he had never left. I missed him more than I thought I would and I was so excited to see him today!

Tomorrow is my brother Steven's birthday. We're going to Olive Garden to celebrate. I'm so proud of myself! I didn't get him a gift certificate like I always do. I got him a PS3 game called Folklore. Adam has that game and I thought it would be a game he would like too! I just hope he likes it.

VICTORY IS MINE!!!

So I convince Adam to let me put the Christmas tree up today!!! He's so strict about putting it up after Thanksgiving. I couldn't believe my luck when he said we could put it up!!! I'm so excited! Now the real test is whether or not the cat will leave it alone... I can only hope... I'm pretty excited for the holidays to start! We went Christmas shopping this weekend and we have all our presents except for presents for each other and our parents. We're still working on that and I'm still trying to figure out what the heck I want.

We were at Target on Thursday night and we got two onsies for Logan. They were so cute I couldn't pass them up! One says "50% Mother + 50% Father = 100% BRILLIANT" and the other says "HANDSOME Good looks run in the family" It just excited me more to have him here soon! It's just so weird to me that I'm going to be a mom! I always knew that's what I wanted soon after marriage, but it just feels so weird that it's almost here. I'm going to have to take care of a life!!! AHHH!!! What an adventure it will be!

Voice Lesson Recital

Tonight I had a voice lesson recital. The theme for this recital was "Jazz". So we all had a jazz song to sing.

Due date

So my due date has changed from March 25th to March 31st. He was measuring smaller in the ultrasound so they recalculated. That's okay though! He'll probably be born in April and I'm okay with that! April is a good month.

New nephew!!!!!

Yay!!! We just got a new nephew yesterday. His name is Cason. He is so stinkin' cute!!! He was 8 lbs 3 oz, and 21 inches long. We went to the hospital last night to see him. Courtney had been pushing for 2 hours but he didn't want to budge so they had to get the forceps out. Poor Courtney! She was tired after all that pushing.
