Wow...it's been awhile since I posted!! Hopefully you guys haven't stopped checking in... I haven't had much to post about, but now I'll update on everything that's been going on for the past few days..
On the 31st, we woke up and Pat said he hadn't felt the baby kick in awhile so when he started moving around I told him to put his hand on my belly. He started out softly moving around..and then he started kicking REALLY hard!! Pat said one of them felt like he scratched me! Haha... It kind of hurt!! I think the rough-housing with his daddy has started already!! :)
My mom came up late the afternoon of the 31st with Simba, her shar pei. We were worried he would be difficult to have here, but he's been pretty easy-going. We had to partition the house into 2 parts though. We didn't really make any big plans for the new year, even though we had a few options. Some of Pat's friends from high school that were in town went to a club in Houston, but can you believe they charge $50 to get in?!?! And it's not like I can drink anyways! Forget it! Some of our other friends were going to another bar, but again..the no drinking thing makes it kind of boring. So instead we had our friends Kevin and Stacey (our neighbors) over and we bar-b-qued, watched football and played Battle of the Sexes. Stacey and I dominated the guys (of course)!! It was pretty low-key, but I know 2009 is going to be a great and exciting year!!!
The past couple days we haven't done much either.. just kind of hang out around the house and rest. I've been waking up late and then taking a nap in the afternoon! I don't know how I'm gonna handle waking up at 5:30 am again starting Monday!! Uggh!
Steph drove in this morning to drop off a bunch of stuff my mom had sent up with her from McAllen for the baby's room. She brought us our bassinet and 2 really neat paintings my mom got for Collin's room. They are both sports jerseys, one football and one baseball. They both have his name on it and the #21 (the day we found out I was pregnant with him)! Ohh yeah! And also a book rack that you hang on the wall for all the cute baby books we'll be reading him! Andrea (Pat's sister) already bought us 3 classics to put in there: 2 Dr. Suesse books (Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish) and Polar Express. I can't wait to read them to him!! There's a few others I can think of that I need to make sure I get too.
Steph also came in to pick up Pat because they left for Arizona to see the Fiesta Bowl with my dad. Sooo lucky!! Not fair! I can't believe I had to get left behind. Ohh well...Hook 'Em Horns!!
After they left I went to get a prenatal massage.. it was actually really awesome! I was thinking of asking if I could get that message even when I'm not pregnant?? haha... They'd probably think it was weird, but I thought it was great! Maybe I just really needed it!!! When I got home from the massage my mom was putting together the bassinet.. haha..and having a hard time doing it! But she did it and it great!! It's already in our room waiting for the baby to come. I would post pictures of it, but Pat has the camera in Arizona, so I guess they'll have to wait. My mom is now upstairs putting all the stuff up on the walls in the nursery. Good thing she's here doing that because who knows when we'd actually get around to doing it!! Boredom has pretty much set in... I'm now on my second viewing of 27 Dresses today alone... I should probably try to get to bed early today since I have to get back in the routine day after tomorrow :(
I'll post new pictures of the nursery and bassinet soon!
