New Years dinner with Jeremy & Francesca at HamadaFirst and foremost, Happy New Year Everyone!! I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful New Year celebration. I'm not sure about you all but the year seems to have flown by! I just can't believe it is 2008 and what seemed like a lifetime away...is suddenly here. Almost a month until our due date!!
We had planned to finish all the last minute details the first week of January so we wouldn't have to worry just in case our little bean decides that her timing is earlier than ours! So, the hospital bags are packed...and her nursery is done! It was a very strange feeling packing my hospital bag and getting together her little onesies, receiving blankets and take-home-outfit (she has 2 just in case and 3 pairs of booties...a girl can never have too many booties to choose from for her special take-home-outfit, right??!!) It's just so exciting to be packing a bag that the next time I open it...will most likely be after her birth! Matt did some electrical work in the nursery and installed the smallest and cutest little ceiling fan as well as doing some last minute touch up paint and decorating. It has turned out to be such a cozy little room...it's perfect for her.
Matt has been so amazing throughout my pregnancy and I have to give it to him for being so patient and understanding in the last few weeks. I tend to laugh at the really dramatic pregnant women who think that the husbands don't go through a thing since WE are the ones who are carrying the baby and all. Not true. They go through a heck of a lot because quite frankly at times lately, Matt has NOT had Mrs. Sunnie Dee Channel for his wife but rather Mrs. Jekyll and Hyde! I have to admit, when everyone told me that the hardest part of your pregnancy is the last 8 weeks, I kind of brushed it off thinking...it can't be that hard. Reality check!! It's hard. The baby is growing so quickly that your body has a hard time adjusting for the extra pound she is gaining per week or so! My rib cage feels like someone has done a Mike Tyson on it during the middle of the night and the rest of my body either feels like it is going to explode at any minute or just swell up and I'll float away! I mean, my toes were chubby before....but now...well let's just say I'm glad I can't look down and see them anymore!! On top of that, I have literally cried 4 times in the last two days...what the??!!! I'm not really sure what any of the 4 reasons were but poor Matthew was the receiver of my wrath two times and I'm sure he didn't know what in the world to say or do with the crazy hormonal insomniac of a person in front of him!!
We did have a busy week with the end of the holidays and the last of our party planning. We spent New Years Eve at our friends Wes & Amber's home. It was mellow and so nice to just spend time relaxing with all of the wonderfully good people we get to surround ourselves with. It was absolutely freezing but we had a great view of the fireworks on the strip. We found out that our friends Christian & Andrea are expecting in August so I even had another prego friend to hang out with the entire night while we watched everyone else get competitive with the flippy cup game! Following New Years, we have been planning a Fifty & Fabulous birthday celebration for Matt's Mom which was this last Saturday. We had about 175 people come to celebrate her 50th including Matt's Uncle Ken & Aunt Linda from FL, his cousins Brandon & Chris and even his grandparents from Texas who just celebrated their 63rd Anniversary. We all had SO much fun! I even got jiggy on the dance floor with my hubby...although Jenn was trying to pull me out on the dance floor for Sir Mix Alot's "I Like Big Butts" song. That would have been really hot. I'm sure everyone at the party would have loved to see that :)
All in all, we ended the year and started a new one with a bang!
Good friends, good family, and a whole lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. This year is going to be amazing and full of surprises but we are ready and excited for everything life blesses us with this year.
Happy 2008...XOXO Sunnie & Matt
