My Dear Sweet Angel....

must be a professional kickboxer. I have begun to fill out more and more every day. There are many times that I feel like there is a little earthquake going on in my tummy, but she also gets a swift jab in between my ribs every once in a while. I've also noticed how much stronger she has gotten. I can't believe my little one has already grown so much and will soon be here with us!!!

The doctor says that everything is going according to plan and I couldn't be healthier; but I don't think he realizes how often I eat Sonic =) I attended my first childbirth class last Saturday (Thanks Mom for going with me!), but unfortunately Keith couldn't make it because of a meeting in Houston. Luckily he didn't miss any of the good stuff. We basically just learned relaxation techniques that left me rather unimpressed and stuck on the floor. Next week we will actually learn more about the process. I don't think Keith can contain his excitement ;) I believe the instructor wanted to kick my mom and out for giggling so much. I guess we should have warned her that we are quite hilarious, or so we think.

The holidays were so enjoyable this year. For the past two years, I was unable to be with my family and truly celebrate, so this year was MUCH better. Keith and I went to Weimar a couple of days and spent time with his family and my dad and his side of the family. Then we drove up to Austin on Christmas day with my mom and part of her side of the family. Expecting a child makes the season a lot of fun so I can't imagine what it will be like next year when Cadence will get to be a part of it. I received so much for both myself and the baby. If we happened to miss telling you thank you, please believe we are truly thankful for everything you have done for us!

On New Years Eve, we joined some friends and went to Atami in College Station. It is a fantastic hibachi and sushi place. Of course I got to only enjoy the hibachi, but having that entertainment during dinner made the evening a lot of fun. It was nice to be with a group of people and enjoy the company. Afterwards, we went out to Harry's where someone had reserved a table. I don't think I would have made it if I didn't have place to sit. We made through the countdown to midnight, but not much after that. Overall, I'd have to say it was one of my favorite NYE's!!!

74 days until our due date!! 36 until the baby shower!! Time's flying but we're able to enjoy every second of it!
