22 weeks!

22 weeks and counting!  Sorry I did not get this up on my normal Wednesday; internet went out at our home yesterday.  So, here you are!

It has certainly been a busy week, but a great one!  Friday after work is date night for Garrett and I.  But this week, rather than going out to dinner, we just picked up something quick on the way home.  We then ran to pick up our Christmas tree and began decorating (well Garrett really did most all the decorating and it looks great!  I wrapped presents).  Oh and while doing this, Garrett had also made a fire to enjoy while home.  It was so nice to enjoy date night in a different manner this week and to just appreciate the blessings we have right here at home.  Here a couple pictures of my growing belly in front of our Christmas tree this year.

Of course my goofy husband had to have
a photo opp while decorating the tree
Love him!

Saturday evening both families got together and went out to Kobe's for dinner.  It was so wonderful to have everyone together.  Unfortunately Amanda was unable to be there though.  We missed you Boo.  While there, at the table next to us, we all could’ve sworn that a basketball player came in, but none of us could put a finger on who he was.  You’d think with both families there and the basketball fans we are, we would’ve known.  I can tell you though that it was not a Magic player, so he couldn’t have been too important, right? Just kidding.  All in all it was a wonderful evening with everyone.

Then, Sunday right after church, my company had it’s company Christmas party.  For Christmas this year, we were treated with tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  It was absolutely incredible!  The music was wonderful and the light, fire, and other effects were amazing.  I believe Grace also really enjoyed it because she was dancing up a storm during a couple of the songs.  Garrett and I both noticed her moving a lot more than normal.  After the orchestra, the company employees and their dates made our way downtown to Ceviche for dinner and drinks.  Nova had their own private room so we could all mingle together and just enjoy one another’s company.  It made for a great evening.

Yesterday was our next big day.  We woke up to find out that our poor rooster, Foghorn Leghorn, unfortunately did not make it through the night.  He had been getting gradually worst the last few days and quite rapidly.  I believe a pygmy snake may have gotten to him and finally took its toll on him.  I’m sad to see the handsome guy go.  When we have our next rooster we will have to name him Foghorn Leghorn, Jr.  On a happier note, a co-worker of Garrett had a kitten he needed to get rid of, so we now have a new kitten to add to the family.  I’m not sure if it is a boy or girl yet because we just got it and it’s still very skittish and scared after a long car ride home.  Not to mention, she (I'm assuming a girl) is only about 6-8 weeks old.  So, we don’t want to mess with him or her too much, to avoid getting cut or bit or upsetting her more.  Once I find out the sex, we’ll get you a name.

All in all, it’s been a whirlwind of a week, but a good one.  I have been feeling the same as previous weeks, just still growing.  Grace is also more noticeably active.  I can’t wait to meet our little blessing.

• Now that he's got more developed eyes and lips, he's looking even more like a newborn.
• He's sleeping in cycles -- about 12 to 14 hours per day (hint: they're probably those times you're not feeling any kicks!).
