TGI - FRIDAY!!

Well, after two weeks of madness...I'm still alive. :) I can't believe it has been two weeks since I last posted a blog and that was about Thanksgiving. We are well into the Christmas holiday's now! Where has the time gone?

We had a great Christmas party at our house last Wednesday. Our house was picture perfect with Christmas lights trimming all around throughout the house. I have a few pictures...but it kinda came out a little dark. I'll need to photo shop them and will post them later. Most everyone came, except three other couples. Not bad for 28 people in our house. It turned out great and I think everyone had a great time - even the kids.

We did our annual family event this year and went to the Carolina Carillon Holiday Parade last Sat. Didn't stay for the whole thing since Evan had kids production practice at church. Then afterwards, we headed home and got in a good nap. I cherish those times....soon we'll have an addition to our family and right now....I'm loving that we just have one child to take care of. I hear it's a bigger challenge when you have more than one. Evan, by far, has been a big helper. We have been talking about how he'll be a big brother and since he's at a good age - he understands the responsibility (I hope). I'm sure he'll do fine. So far, he's really great with our friend's kids who have little infants. We will have to see!

Speaking of another addition - I had my three-hour glucose test yesterday. Ugh! Talk about time just ticking by. I got there at 7 am and didn't get done until 10:45ish. Four pricks/viles of blood drawn on every hour, sitting with a mask over my mouth so I don't get any germs from other patients who are in the same room with me getting other lab work done. It was not fun at all. There was another pregnant woman there and her husband was with her. I thought...geez...poor guy having to be there. What is he going to do? Then she complained about being sick and she asked for some water, which they gave her ice chips instead. I guess it didn't help too much, because half an hour later, the nurse asked if she wanted to lie down on a bed. Now, here I was - the same due date as this girl and I was doing the exact thing as her....but I thought to myself, okay Wendy - you can do this. You don't need ice chips just b/c she has some. I too wasn't feeling good and the chairs in the office was super uncomfortable. I shouldn't complain. This is my second child for goodness sakes! I held my head high, sucked it up and dealt with it. I managed to make it, but boy was I super hungry afterwards. A mighty woman I was!! :)

Anyway, I'm off to pick Evan up and then to a birthday party. Woo hoo! This weekend we're going to another family tradition -- seeing the Christmas production at First Baptist Church downtown. :) And then Evan will do his little performance at church on Sunday. Then next week we have loads of other events from a homeowners meeting dinner, to Winter Festival for Evan's school and then my company Christmas party. Can you see... I WILL BE BUSY NEXT WEEK!!

Love and Peace to All!
