An Update

There's been a lot going on and obviously more to come since Christmas is this week, so I just thought I would give you guys a little update.

We'll start out on the baby front...I went to the doctor last week and had a GREAT appointment. I saw the new doctor and she was excellent. I told Jon that I just hope that she isn't ruined by the other doctors or the busyness of the clinic. She was very personable, talked to me about everything she was doing, and wanted to "get to know us." It was great. Perhaps it was merely a result of having no expectations at this point, but I really did enjoy her and actually enjoyed my visit (as opposed to the multiple times I have left almost in tears). So that was great. She also said that Baby Haddy is doing great and moving all over the place. She also, after talking about my last ultra-sound seems to think that she is going to be small. Jon and I were both small babies (5-6 lbs each), so it's looking pretty good, as of now at least, that she won't be gigantic! I am thrilled with that, being that I do have to birth this child!

Tomorrow Jon and I are going to head down to Colorado Springs for the day, before meeting up with his family in Denver. We are excited to check out our future stomping grounds, and look for places/areas to live. I have only been to The Springs (that's what the locals call it) once, which was a few months ago. Our top priority then was to hang out with our friends (and Jon's interview of course), so we didn't get to see much of the town. We are looking forward to driving around, looking for the happening spots, and maybe doing a little last minute shopping. The more I think about it, the more excited I get because this will finally be a permanent place for us, which we haven't had in the 4 1/2 years that we have been married. We are hoping to buy our first house and get settled (whatever that means, right?). It will be fun, and it feels like we will be starting our little adventure with this little trip.

Then we are going to be in Denver for a few days, hanging out with Jon's family. I was planning to go to Oklahoma after that, but decided not to, as I have just been exhausted these days. If I would have gone, it would be ten days straight on the road, and then back to work the day I return. It is just too much for me right now. So I am planning to go sometime in February, when things aren't so whilwind-ish. I think I will enjoy my time there more, if I am not so exhausted from everything else.

So I think that's it! I am sure everyone will be busy too, but I do hope you take time to enjoy this Holiday season! And in the words of the British, Happy Christmas!
