lovely holiday

hope all had a wonderful holiday!  it was a great time here at 626 with lots of family and even more food.  my Dad made the daring drive from MI to celebrate and we were so happy he was here.  as were the boys, they love to snuggle with him. 

the one thing that became very apparent is the amount of male energy.  on xmas eve and chrissy i looked around the table to see all men, and two male dogs anxiously waiting under the table.  and then me, the lone female.  i made a toast at dinner that i hope either this is a girl in my belly or one of these boys finds a lovely female to be their partner and my dinner companion!

dave's nurses think that it's a girl, because i have been having extreme rib pain.  and according to them that means i am carrying high, and carrying high means it's a girl.  who knows.  all i know is that if it's a boy or a girl, we need to meet in the middle and find a way for both of us to sleep, soon.  very soon. 

we are off to chicago for new years, to celebrate Mom's birthday and for dave to go to an outdoor hockey game at wrigley (edit: originally this was wiggle field, sports isn't really my thing) field.
