Holidays

What a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve we had.  We spent Christmas in Hallsville, Missouri.  Christmas Eve with the Coleman Family and Christmas Day with the Roberts Family.  Brian and I were pleasantly surprised when the Roberts Family Christmas exchange turned out to be a Baby Girl Nichols gift giving parts!  She received lots of new toys and clothes and she isn't even here yet!  Santa was kind and brought me a new digital SLR and video camera - both for the baby of course!  I have pictures and once I get around to posting, I will.

We left for Florida on New Year's Eve and arrived to Lawson & Marolyn waiting for us with big smiles on their faces, in the Tampa Airport.  The weather was nice . . . that day but turned very, very cold after that.  Sweaters, scarves, jeans and gloves cold!  Very unusual for Florida, even in January.  So, we spent a lot of time indoors visiting with Brian's parents and brother, sister-in-law and our niece, Angela.  We did venture to the beach one day, and it was FREEZING!  I'll also attach thos pictures as soon as I have a chance.

This week, I went for my 28 week appointment - finally today, I can say I am in my 3rd Trimester!  Everything is going well!  We even started our Newborn Care and Child Birth classes two weeks ago.  We go every Sunday evening from 5:30 to 8:30.  It has been pretty entertaining to say the least!  Of course, any one who knows Brian would automatically assume he himself would be a source of entertainment in a setting like that! 

We took a break from the nursery . . . after the last crib incident!  So, tonight we will be finishing the argyle pattern and tomorrow, our new sleigh crib arrives!  I hope this one works . . . and fits, in the nursery.  I can't wait to have a bigger room for her and all of her stuff!!!

I will post pictures as soon as I can put them all together!
