Catching up

Well friends it has been a few weeks since I have blogged, but with the Christmas season, we were just busy bees. I pray that you and your families and a Christ filled Christmas and that you and your families had a great time loving on each other and celebrating the birth of our Savior.


We had opened up our presents with our families the day before Christmas and on Christmas day I had to work. Ugh, life in a hospital, gotta love it. Actually it wasn't that bad and when I got home CJ and I exchanged our gifts. CJ is amazing, and made me a bookcase on steroids!! Have I mentioned how amazing he is?

I can't wait to start filling it up with memories we are making! He started making this in October, the 25th to be exact, so it took him exactly 2 months. The last week, the week of Christmas was probably the hardest week for him because Monday morning when he woke up the whole right side of his face didn't work! We went to the doctor that afternoon and he was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. He affectionately called it Jingle Bells Palsy. :) For those that might not know what that actually is, it's a viral attack on the nerves or nerve in your face. He started out with his ear bothering him on Friday, which on Monday we learned was an ear infection, and that is how Bells Palsy normally begins. Monday will be 3 weeks, but he can now blink, which was why working on the bookcase was hard the last week, and can halfway smile. Here is a picture of him after we got home from the doctor with his eye patch on, he is such a good sport.

He is such a funny man! :) Have I mentioned how much I love him?

And on to our bump. I am officially in my second trimester as of today! I am 14 weeks, today, and I am definitely feeling much better than I did in my earlier weeks, but still throwing up and relying on zofran for some days. Our little peanut just doesn't want me to forget they are in there :) Are some pictures from the beginning to now....

This is me at 5 weeks. 

9 weeks, you can definitely see the difference already!

12 weeks! Eek!

And finally 13, weeks. I will take my 14 week picture tonight. I can't believe I already look pregnant, but I don't care because I am proud of my bump! 

Oh and we bought our crib yesterday! We absolutely love it! We already moved all the stuff out of the office, put the guest room in the old office, and CJ put the crib up today! So this is the beginning of baby H's room. I am not sure if the crib will stay there, but it's up (it weighs 200 lbs. so I am not sure how many times Hubby will actually move it, so I better make sure it's the "right" spot before asking him again :) ) 

Well I think that is all for now. I am really going to try to update at least once a week. My sweet in-loves bought us a fancy camera for Christmas so I am using it every chance I get, so you will get lots of pictures! :) Isn't that fun!!! 

Have a blessed night, I better go I have a busy day of learning to sew ahead of me with my sweet mother -in-love. My momma bought me a sewing machine for Christmas!! :) I just love love love my family!
