I've been reading all of our friends and family Christmas and New Year's posts and I'm glad everyone had happy holidays. This year I got a horrible cough/cold sometime during the second week of December and spent most of the month in bed. I'm not over it yet, but I am trying to go to work and stuff again. The doctor said that because I am pregnant sometimes a cough can just seem to linger forever. Everything is still fine with the baby even though I lost 10 pounds between my first and second OB/GYN appointments. My Christmas decorations never really got put up. But now there is a lot less to take down. So that is a plus. Our Christmas cards never got written or sent so we'll have to do that better next year. Teddy was a good sport and made the desserts that were needed for my family Christmas parties and went to the parties by himself.
I was a consistently good couch potato for the month of December. (If you ever want a review of any Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel or ABC Family I think I saw every movie multiple times). I also know when all reruns of Extreme Home Makeover play. I'm a little nervous about this baby coming after watching a few too many episodes of The Nanny. I hate everything in my closet (that fits me anyway) because of watching too many episodes of What Not To Wear. And I am thrilled that I'm only expecting one child after watching Jon and Kate plus 8.
My house needs a desperate deep clean, and I have weeks of laundry to catch up on. My Mom came over a few times during the month to help out with some of the laundry and cleaned up my kitchen. I think my only New Year's resolution is to get my house clean and semi organized.
Now that I am slowly starting to feel better I'm more optimistic about the new year and hope every one's 2009 is a great year.
