I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas! We were extremely blessed! We got to spend Christmas Eve with Jon's side of the family. I think that was the most people we had been able to get together in at least 6 years! It was amazing to see everyone all at once! Christmas Day was spent mostly with my side of the family, and it was also just awesome! We've gotten really spread out over the past few years so anytime we can get together it's great. Nicholas ended up with a friend on Christmas and it was great to see him get to play with a little guy his age! Despite the world throwing Santa in his face, he still remembered that Christmas is about the Baby King Jesus.
Jon was awesome and got me exactly what I wanted... a breadmaker!!!! Woo hoo!!! I didn't ask for a super expensive one (he even found the one I wanted for way cheaper at Target!) because I don't plan on baking bread every day... but we keep talking about how much we want to make our foods from scratch and focus more on "real" food... so I really wanted to try out bread! Jon and I made the first loaf Monday night when we got back into town... it was a total disaster. I tried again this morning thinking maybe we just messed something up... total disaster again. I finally went online and found out that while the reviews on the MACHINE were good.. the reviews on the recipes that came with it were horrible. So I found a new recipe online and tried that. It turned out great!! Now I have a great recipe for our sandwich bread! Even Jon was impressed! I feel like a dork because I can't wait for lunch tomorrow just to make a turkey sandwich :P
Other than that, Nicholas and I are just taking it easy this week. He is loving having mommy on light bedrest because it means he can play more Wii during the day than usual. Normally I'm super strict about him playing, but with me needing to hang out on the couch for the most part, I let him play more because it's something I can do with him. He goes back to school next week and I'm sure he'll be super thankful for that :) Today I saw my normal doc and she said that things look good... I'm measuring a bit small but as soon as the specialist says that baby and fluid measure fine, they aren't going to worry about it. Thursday we'll see the Peri and find out if light bedrest is making an impact or not. Hopefully it's helping me maintain because if it is, getting this kiddo to full term should be a piece of cake! And like I've said before... knowing God's irony, he'll probably come late!
