21 weeks and 3 days.....

The time is ticking on I have now passed the official 20 week half way mark. I must admitt when I look at some of my friends who are almost due I feel like thats still so far away. Perhaps thats a good thing as Barry and I have been bad parents the baby's room is still boxes, we have not settled on a theme and we have not bought 1 thing for this poor little child.

However I think my only New Years resolution this year will be to get ready for our new arrival. Im off work this week to rest as I have been having some high blood pressure issues. We went to see the docotor yesterday and the pressure had come down so thats a good thing, Im gonna rest as much as possible so that I take care of myself and baby. Its werid being home alone all week I feel some external pressure that I should be like getting things done for Christmas, but it will have to wait till I see my doctor later this week and get the ok from her as to how to proceed.

We did go to one Christmas function this past weekend- Julias christmas party. We had a really great time nice to get together with friends this time of year. Nancy and Dan came with their adorable little boy Rylan. Hes 6 months and just getting to that fun stage. It was really neat to see Barry hold him and to think about all the excitment that awaits. I know people joke about how much work it is and how it changes your life, and I know that while those things are true I cant think of a better way for something to change your life then to have a family to love and care for. It took a long time to get emotionally ready for a family but I feel like we are there. Now we just need to get physically ready so the baby has somewhere to sleep!
