Christmas is over blues

I cannot believe christmas is over.  The month of december flew by way to fast!  One more week and I'll be forced to have to put the decorations away.  I can feel the tears already.  I love, love the christmas season!!  I'm hoping that finding out boy or girl on Jan. 5 will help recover the holidays being over blues.  I can then put my focus on the baby room!  Speaking of room, Michelle found a picture with country bears and a small rocker with a bear on it to sit on a dresser or table.  I don't know where she finds these things but I love it!!  (Pictures below)  Oh, the rocking horse I had found and fell in love with, well apparently many others loved it too because my order was canceled due to it being out of stock.  So back to square one on hunting for a rocking horse.

We had a pretty good christmas.  Brian got the Iphone 4, Cabela's big game hunting on the wii, a new pocket knife, camo wear, slippers, and of course UT things.  He has discovered and playing like crazy angry birds game on the phone.  Sounds more like the gremlins to me than angry birds.  For my birthday I got a gift card to massage envy that covers 4 prenatal massages.  So basically I get one for the next 4 months which is complete awesomeness.  That'll basically take me through the rest of the pregnancy.  Thank you Brian!  Then I got a UT christmas wreath that has a man & lady snowmen holding hands.  Double hit there with the snowmen and longhorns!  Thank you mom!  Then an awesome frame with a biblical message on it from my grandmother.
For christmas chocolate covered strawberries were delivered that were yummy and a check to add to our baby fund!!!  Thank you Grandma!  The dogs got a new UT tennis ball that I have yet to give to them.  Bear bear is a ball psycho so not ready to go there yet today.  We are enjoying a lazy day of quietness (except for the angry bird game).  I scored some candles, pretty snowmen house decorations, a new coffee pot (as it will be needed come May), a snuggy that the dogs are trying to claim or steal from me and a boppy pregnancy pillow.  That thing is heaven!!!!  I've always slept on my back and now being 5 months pregnant it is recommended to not do that.  So my shoulders have been killing me since I'm not used to sleeping on them.  That pillow has saved the day or night rather.  I slept with it last night for the first time and let me tell ya, it was the best sleep I've had in weeks.  I can put that thing behind me and it allows me to take the weight off my shoulders and keeps me from rolling onto my back. HEAVEN!
Most important, we were able to spend a lot of time with family.  The Truax family were able to see me pregnant and rub the belly.  It's been a while since we've seen them all together so it was really nice.  And we had a lot of time with my parents and Brian's.  All in all - a great christmas!

Brian is not feeling well.  I've been loading up on the vitamin c in hopes I don't get it.  Getting sick scares me as I'm really not sure what is okay to take nor really want to take anything if possible.  I know sudafed, tylenol and tums is okay but thats about all I know.  So I guess if I get sick, we will get it figured out.  In the meantime, praying Brian gets better and that I don't catch it!


Here is the picture Michelle found.  Isn't it cute?!  Hoping January 5 confirms boy like they think/thought back at the 13 week ultrasound since the bows are blue but if not, oh well, I'm still putting on the wall.  Is way to cute and who says a baby girl can't have some "blue" in her life!!!

Here is the table top rocking horse and bear Michelle found.  I just love it.  Again, hopeful for a baby boy but if not, a baby girl will love it too!!

And here is the bear that I found after Thanksgiving to sit on the rocking horse (if we ever find one).
