Early Christmas Thoughts

This has been a busy weekend around our house! My Mommy and Daddy have been busy decorating our house for the holidays. You should see our house! There are decorations everywhere, including in my nursery!

I really believe Christmas is my parents' favorite time of the year. My Daddy has always loved Christmas and the celebration of the season. My Mommy isn't far behind in loving Christmas.

My parents began a tradition some years ago, collecting ornaments as they traveled to various places. You should see the number of ornaments they added to the tree this year. Daddy seems to be worried that the tree might fall over due to the weight of all of the ornaments on the tree! I think the tree is okay, it looks good to me, but then again, I can't see very much right now--even though the doctor says my eyes are now developed and can see. I don't know what she thinks I am going to see, it is very dark in here right now.

I can hardly wait to see my parents, my house, and my puppy. Just this afternoon, my parents were putting some decorations in my room and my puppy was playing under my bed. My Mommy is convinced that Peanut is going to sleep under my bed after I am born. Daddy isn't too sure about that, Peanut likes to bark a little too much and she might wake me up too much. I think it would be fun to have Peanut stay in my room. She likes to bark and growl when the doorbell rings. She likes to lick my Mommy and Daddy. She likes to run and play. I think I'll like to run and play too. My Mommy thinks I'm already getting a lot of exercise as I kick her stomach and move around.

We sent our Christmas cards out today and I even asked my parents to include a note about my blog. I'm hoping to get some regular readers and commenters on my site. Will you take a minute and leave me a comment. I'd really like to hear from you. And just in case you are curious--that's not really me floating around on the righthand side--someone asked abaout that. That's off some Web site Daddy found and he thought it was a good way to keep up with my growth. If you want to see an actual picture of me, scroll down and you'll see an actual ultrasound taken a few months ago. I don't know whether or not they'll take another picture of me any time soon. I did hear the nurse saying that they could do a 4-D ultrasound and my parents could actually see my face. We're not too sure we want to do that! We can probably save the money from the ultrasound and see me in a few more weeks. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Anyway, hope you are planning a great Christmas holiday season! Look out for our Christmas letter. If you don't get one from us, please send us a note and we'll add you to our list.

Merry Christmas (a little early)...but it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!
