Happy New Year!!!

So here we are in 2008...time flies when you're having fun. I still can't believe Christmas has come and gone already. My New Year's Eve was quite different than years in the past...no loud music and no liquor. Being pregnant really puts a damper on the festivities. Unfortunately Ray had to work late that night so we'll have to tear it up together next year...if we can find a sitter...Life is never going to be the same. I can't wait!!!
This is the first year I haven't made any resolutions...I could say I'm going to quit biting my nails again but it never seems to happen. Maybe this year I'll really really try...the prenatal vitamins should help me out with that. I'd love to have finger nails when we get married. I think my resolution should be to just make it through the year. It's going to be a wild one.
Speaking of getting married...Looks like we need to change our original March 8th plan as my best friend and her husband wouldn't be able to make it that weekend in Vegas. So it looks like we're back to the drawing board. To be honest it may not hapen until after the baby comes and life is settled down a bit. Who am I kidding? Life after the baby will never be settled down. Anyways...wedding plans on hold until we can figure out a plan of attack.
Aside from being really tired this past weekend I've been feeling good lately and am enjoying this new found energy I'm having during this second trimester. The books said this time would come and I'm enjoying every second of it. Before I know it we'll be at the 8 month mark and I'll be dying to get this baby out of me. I'm officially at 17 weeks now. According to the books I'm reading the baby is about 5 inches long now. I should be feeling some movement soon. In fact truth be known on New Years Eve I thought I might have felt something like a light fluttering in my belly. One of my books said it could also just be gas...
We find out January 24th if we're having a boy or a girl. Ray and I are both feeling like it's a boy but we'll know for sure in just a few short weeks. If we have a boy we've decided to name him Jace Charles and if we have a girl we're going with Madison Cheyenne. Of course we could change our minds but that's what we're going with for now. I'll take whatever God gives us and just pray for a healthy baby...boy or girl.
We are looking forward to everything 2008 will bring us...most of all this beautiful baby growing inside me. We are so thankful for having such loving and caring families and friends to join us along this journey.
