13 Weeks

I hit 13 weeks on Christmas Day.  We spent Christmas in Arizona with J's family so we were able to tell them about the little one in person.  I really prefer to give big news like that in person if possible so it was nice that we had the holidays to visit both families right after we found out.  I painted another wooden frame and put the due date and "Hi Grandma and Grandpa" on it and we gave it to J's parents the first morning that we got to Arizona.  We then showed the frame to all of his brothers.  This baby will be the first grandchild on both sides of the family as J and I are both the only married kids in our families.  I have two brothers and two sisters and he has three brothers so I'm sure this child we be very spoiled!  I was also the oldest grandchild on both sides of my family and it definitely has its perks :)  I was also able to tell my grandfather who has been asking us when we "were going to have good news for him" since we got married four years ago. He is SO excited for his first great- grandchild!  A lot of our close friends from college/ high school for J live in Phoenix as well as my best friend and my aunt and uncle so we had lots of people to meet with and share our news with!  Christmas was great but it is nice to be back at our place in California again. I seem to be sleeping better now that we are back in our bed.

I wanted to share a picture of the awesome diaper bag that my parents got for me for Christmas.  This was by far the thing that I was most excited about this Christmas!  It is amazing how the things that I get excited about has evolved over the years!
