recapping and reminiscing~

well, monday is here- already. the weekends never seem long enough and i am always bumbed to start a new week. i got a ton of Christmas shopping done and i only have a few gifts left to give. i am trying to think of something to get my almost 6 yr old nephew. he has hundreds of toys and really doesn't need anymore. i wanted to get him something educational. any ideas? i thought about some kind of crayola set and maybe some books, but i'm still undecided.
the girls shopping trip on saturday was a huge success and we had a great time. i hope that we are able to make it an annual event. we shopped all day, stopped for a fruit smoothie break, shopped some more, had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, and crashed at the hotel. we shared a piece of white chocolate caramel macadamia nut cheesecake. "aaaaaaaaaaaaaah" (singing) it was fantastic. melon brought bagel dip to snack on at the room and let me tell you - it's the shit! i told her if she ever made it again i would have to kick her ass. mmmmmk!
we finally got Christmas pics taken yesterday. the place was a zoo and i could tell that Big Country was getting irritated. he's not much of a crowd person, but we got them done and they turned out so good! Here are a few:























it was so hard picking which ones we wanted! mason smiled in so many pics. he babbles all the time now and sometimes he gets pretty vocal.
this morning as i was getting ready for work, i found myself reminiscing on events that happened this time last year. it was almost a year ago (Dec 20th ish) that i became deathly sick and couldn't stop throwing up. i laid at home in bed for a day and couldn't keep anything down until i let my husband take me to urgent care. i sat in the waiting room- throwing up. the urgent care dr walked past the waiting room and saw me and called me back right away. he told me that i needed to go to the ER b/cuz i needed fluids. so onto the ER we went. i found out there that i was 2-3 weeks pregnant. so they gave me phenergan (sp) and fluids and sent me home. we announced that we were expecting at Christmas. we got my parents, brother and sis in law, and grandparents Christmas cards signed from Big Country, Lindsey, and baby Dunbar#1. everyone was so excited. now, our little present is here and growing like a weed!
i must get back to work. have a wonderful and safe day. i hope the holiday season is bringing you and yours much happiness.
God bless.
