Merry Christmas to one and all from Baby and me!!!!!

Saturday, Becca attended childbirth education classes with me. She will be my coach, and if Zion makes it, she'll have to help him know how to help me. The classes were pretty predictable, boring and full of somewhat misguided information.... (Including "if you must smoke, do not do so while you are nursing", how insane is that?!!) as well as being very graphic and generally disgusting. =)

Sunday I went to church, everyone seemed pretty happy to see me and I was very happy to see all of them! After church I went to Las Palmas (my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world!) with all the family that is here. It was delicious!!!

Monday night, I went to the first ever boys basketball game at Bible Believers Christian School. I worked in the concession stand and it was great fun. It was lots of fun when Sister Kelly K. came in and asked how far along I was and I very straight faced told her, "I'm not pregnant." Her face fell and she was so completely worried for about 20 seconds before I laughed and said I was only teasing and had 6 weeks left. LoL! It was pretty funny. (For those of you who don't know Kelly K., you aren't getting to appreciate the full humor, but I guess it's still pretty funny.)

Tomorrow I have my first Doctors appointment in almost a month. I will be seeing Dr. Scott Stalkamp (who delivered Janessa) and will hopefully get to take a tour of the hospital because when Becca and I went to the childbirth classes, we had to take them at the other hospital because St. Rita's classes were full. I kinda remember the layout from Jess and Becca's deliveries, but it wouldn't hurt to take a refresher walk through the maternity ward especially since they have added on a ton to the hospital in the past couple years. I'll let you all know how my appointment went and if we get to take the tour or not. =)

Happy Birthday, John!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

I got here to Ohio yesterday afternoon. John and Janessa were at the airport waiting for me when I arrived. We had a nice drive home with a pit stop at Skyline Chili where Mom, Becca, Brandon and Ben met us. Unfortunately, it was raining on the way instead of snowing, and all the snow that was on the ground yesterday morning was melted. I can't wait until it snows again, it's beautiful in the woods.

Their house and driveway have come a long way since the last time I was here. (They actually HAVE gravel which is really nice!!)
