For the first time in too many years to count, my entire family was together for Christmas. Michael has been appearing when he says he will and that makes for a holly jolly Christmas all in itself. Above is our family portrait. We took a 'normal' one but Mom hasn't posted it yet.
Christmas dinner was at Mom's house this year. There was 17 of us in total which made for a cramped dinner. I wish I could say it was glowing and fuzzy but it wasn't. My family just isn't like that. Plus, my Aunt and Uncle were being weird. But whatever.
I spend the day lounging at Mom's house. Being 9 months pregnant and having to be as busy as we were, I was slightly stressed and almost too tired to properly enjoy it all. Almost. Anthony had to work but since he has been blessed with day shift, he got to enjoy the family stuff as he got off at 7.
Maternity pictures were Saturday. We put it off to the last possible minute. Between juggling Anthony's weekends off and things that were already planned, I'm just glad that we got it done. More to come for sure.
As of yesterday, I am full term. 3 weeks until the official due date. I'm hoping to come early but I hope that Oliver will give me a few more days to get everything ready that we've put off. 1) install the car seat.
I haven't even started nesting yet but I hope it kicks in. I am fixated on cleaning my bedroom. It is beyond gross but I can't get the motivation to do it. Probably because I hate how small it is. I'm too embarrassed to let my Mom see it and figuring she will end up in there with me as I take care of the baby, it needs to be cleaned/vacuumed/dusted/organized. Clumps of dog hair won't do.
It's surreal that at any moment I could go into labor. Knowing my luck I won't give birth til January 28 and I'll look back at this post and laugh at how naive I was.
