4 months and counting!!

Hooray!!

I'm 16 weeks and two days prengant! In about 6 months, David and I will meet the next member of our family. I'm so excited I can't even explain it. I will take some belly picts tomorrow -- but I think I'll wait to post them until after Christmas so my changing figure can be a surprise to those of you I'll see during the holidays next week. My new obsession is trying to feel the baby move -- supposedly this happens anytime from now to 20 weeks. I thought I might have felt something the other night, but it's just as likely it was gas or my imagination.

In other news, I finished the gigantic Park Service book and have now moved on to another large, but less intimidating project. I think by the end of next week I will be able to seem my desk again and feel like I'm not totally buried in work.

David got a raise and a Christmas bonus yesterday! How great is that?! I'm so excited that he's working somewhere that shows appreciation for his hard work -- and his willingness to put in extra hours. It's fun to watch him try to figure out what he wants to buy with his new money. (I actually got to be the practical one who said he should wait until after Christmas to see what he didn't get and still wants.)

This weekend will be fun -- we have my office's Christmas bowling party to go to tomorrow followed by David's grandpa's annual holiday dinner. I'm sure to be totally exhausted, but perhaps that will mean I'll sleep well.

Happy Friday!
