Look who's a big dog now!  Sheldon turned 1 on Saturday (ish).  That's also the day we got our power back on from the winter storm, so all 4 of those blankets he's laying on got washed that very night.  He didn't appreciate them disappearing one by one.  He loved his package of salmon and he also got a new toy that he hasn't completely destroyed - yet.

I thought this quote was quite fitting for the new year.  I tore it out of an Oprah magazine years and years ago, maybe 2000 or 2001.  I guess it really meant something to me.  Comforting.  Hopeful.  Thank goodness I've had more than one chance. 

Happy New Year!

Since I'm keeping up with my book reading on this blog, I figured I better hurry up and post this before the new year.  I finished books 2 and 3 in the Harry Potter series and watched the movies.  My mom actually has ALL the movies on dvd, so I grabbed those over Christmas.  Now I can erase what I have on dvr and free up some space.

Happy New Year's Eve!  Billy is actually planning on staying up with me until midnight.  I'm going to guess that about 10:00 he's not going to be able to pretend to stay awake anymore and drag himself to bed.  I usually stay up reading.  Hopefully, I will notice the clock at midnight.

Sheldon loves to snuggle.

I hardly ever read books twice, so I surprised myself the other day by grabbing the first Harry Potter book from my piles of books and reading the entire thing in about a week.  I've got almost all the movies dvr'd and so right after I read the book, I actually watched the Sorcerer's Stone movie the very same night.  Maybe I'll go ahead and read the entire series again.

30 weeks!  Only 10 more weeks to go, which seems crazy to me.  We should have her room completed sometime next month.  I'll definitely need to post some pics.

Everything was good at my appointment yesterday.  I'll start going every 2 weeks now.  And I have a new pregnancy symptom - I'm not sleeping very well at all.  Of course, that could be Sheldon related too.  He crowds me out and won't let me have any covers.  A pillow between my knees feels better, but there's hardly any room for that.  Baby is moving like crazy and I love it!

I'm going ahead and posting my 30 week pics, even though they are not the greatest.  Billy took them and he doesn't exactly make me feel comfortable in front of the camera.  He kept telling me that I moved, I kept telling him that I was standing there forever and only moved when I saw his finger was off the button, and then he says something about the camera was still taking the picture even thought his finger came off the button.  What?!  I don't know.  I thought the heart pose would be cuter, but I'm not sure you can even tell I'm pregnant.  Maybe I'll try again.

Hmmmm.....why is the rest of my work schedule calendar empty?  Oh, that's right, I'm quitting! 5 more hours and I'm done!  I know the baby isn't due until February, but I really didn't want to work through the holidays.  When you work in retail, you can't enjoy them.  So, this will be the first time in 17 years that I will actually get to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I'm so excited!  Ok, it feels a little weird and I'm a little scared too, but more than anything I'm excited!
