Happy New Year! It is officially 2011 and officially the year in which you will be born. We are so happy to see the beginning of this year and now have 3 months and 23 days until your due date. I can't believe that you will be here in a few short months. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little ladybug and look forward to spending next New Year's with you!
This New Year's Eve was a little different than years past. Daddy and I usually go out with friends or get dressed up for a big New Year's party but this year we decided to stay longer at Grandma and Grandpa's and spend the New Year with family. Last night we went to Aunt Lou and Uncle Bernard's for dinner and to ring in the new year. We had a great time playing games with Grandma Cindy, Grandpa Rand, Uncle Brandon, Daddy, Great Grandpa, Great Grandma, Aunt Lou and Uncle Bernard. Uncle Bernard was a bit under the weather, but he is feeling much better today. We watched the big ball drop in Times Square and then headed home for a nice, long night's sleep. It was wonderful. :)
Today we got up and were very lazy for much of the day. Today was our last day to spend with Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Brandon so we made the most of it by being together. We went to Elmira's for fish this evening and after we were done, it was time for you, me, Daddy, Rudy, and Zoey to hit the road. It was a wonderful two weeks of Christmas vacation and a FANTASTIC week at Grandma and Grandpa's spending time with family. I am very sad to be back home and getting ready to go back to work. The next big break doesn't come until Spring Break in March and by then, we will be weeks away from greeting you! For the time being, we are happy to have reached 24 weeks and continue to keep an eye on my growing belly:
According to our pregnancy tracker, you should be about 13 inches long and weigh about 1 1/4 pounds. I can feel you moving around like crazy and am still waiting for your kicks to be consistent enough for Daddy to feel them. I can feel them on the outside every once in awhile, but by the time I get Daddy's hand there you stop. Could you cooperate for us, please? :) No matter what you do, we love you and I am happy every time I feel one of your little kicks. Our next doctor's appointment is just a couple of days away so until then, Happy New Year and we love you!
Love your baby bump and love that you had a great Christmas and New Years :) Sad that we go back to school tomorrow...like really sad.
