I am in the last week of my 2nd trimester and it's hard to believe I'll be starting the last few weeks before baby is here. I don't know that I'm quite ready yet - still need to clear out baby's room and prepare... Guess it's good that I've still got some energy in me and will need to take care of it in the next 2 weeks. My parents ordered our nursery furniture for us at Babies "R" Us - thank you! It's Baby Cache and cherry wood - John picked out the snazziest stuff he could for our little one. The part that got me (I'm usually the cheapo) is that we can convert into a full size bed and can be used well into the kiddo's teenage years.
Thanksgiving holiday was a huge success. We had John's family and my family celebrate with us at our house this year. The only person missing was his dad because he had to work, but we hope to catch him for Christmas or next Thanksgiving. The food was delicious, we all had a good time and John's mom and I ventured out to Black Friday shopping together at 4 am - a true bonding experience. My parents were busy moving into a new home during Thanksgiving week so we didn't get to spend as much time together as I'd have liked just because they were exhausted. I don't think I've ever seen my dad so tired!
To prepare for our guests, John and I decided to spice our house up a little - it's about time, we've only been here since 2004...

The finished project. For the longest time it had just been a blob of Cattle Drive on our wall.

This week has been exciting to say the least. Scooter mauled my leg thinking it was part of the bed and last night John and I went to our first Dallas Mavericks game against the Timberwolves. He scored some great platinum level tickets for us on Groupon! We had such a fun time and Baby V would stop kicking after 'Bust a Move' played. Baby has continued to dance all day in my belly, it's quite fun!
