Christmas was wonderful this year, despite previous worries wondering how to fit everyone in and be able to start a few of our own traditions at home. Jada loved the Christmas music, Santa, and playing with her family. She somehow got through the exhaustion better than mom and dad. Thank goodness for grandparents and all their energy and love for her. Kelven and I definitely had a chance to sit down and relax. Thank you to our loving and understanding family for making the holidays so special. We love you very much.
Jada was not a fan of the snow. Walking was okay until she looked down and noticed a big chunk on her nice black and pink boots, then the tears began. We'll try again next year.
The pregnancy is going very well. I am now 17 weeks and feeling much better in the second trimester. We will find out if the baby is a he or she by the end of the month. Despite the headaches and nausea, I love being pregnant. Kids have always been a great love of mine and just knowing there is another one brewing in my belly gives us so much joy, mainly because our next child will undoubtedly give us a whole new perspective on life, just as Jada has.
Another rant...sorry I am just feeling blessed this morning.
I love my friends. They are the funniest, most supportive and beautiful people I know. Regardless of the stages of life we strive or struggle through, in the end I know they'd do anything for me and I gladly will do the same. I cannot imagine my children going through life without these types of solid friendships to share successes, shed tears, and just be themselves. Each of you have influenced my life in so many ways and I am so thankful for all of you. You know who you are.

HOLLLAAAA! I agree. I'm afraid many/most people don't land what we found in each other. I pray our kids do. Happy to hear the holidays went well! Can't wait til you find out. I find out in February. oh- how's the belly? I need you to confirm that yours is out there so I feel better about mine.
Whatever Joy! I went to a childbirth class last night and thought to myself, "Wow, I must be a lot farther along than the rest of these girls!" Uhh, no. Turns out I am just huge. I am a good three weeks, even months BEHIND all of them. Top that ladies!
I can't wait until you find out! Is Jada comprehending that she is going to have a little brother/sister? How's Kelven doing with the pregnancy? Is gaining the wait right along?!
