Last day of 2009

Well we are 33 weeks pregnant as of yesterday and today is the last day of 2009! Tomorrow starts the year that we will become parents!!! As it turns out i passed the 3 hours sugar test that the Doctor said he thought I wouldn't pass... But he said i failed the first 1-hour test so badly he wants me to go on what he calls the "brain diet". Basically no ice cream or baked goodies; i have to cut back on starches such as white bread/rice/potatoes... I hate that - really - I refer to myself as a carbaholic... Also, no cokes or caffeinated drinks. Hard to think of what i can eat... Well, only about 7 weeks left until Keegan gets here!!! We met with the pediatrician yesterday for the first time, she's glad that I'm going to try to breastfeed. Well, we're excited and it's getting closer and closer all the time!
OH YEAH - The shower is Jan 9th! Can't wait to see what goodies we get to stock Keegan's room with!!! I have a few things, like free trial type stuff and a few little outfits that he's received already - i reorganize all the time. I guess that's the nesting syndrome everyone talks about! Don't let him lie to you, Casey has it too!

A few Miscellaneous Items on my Wish List

There are a few extra items on my "wish list" that can't be found on the Target or Wal-Mart registries.
1. I like a diaper bag that i found at Amazon or 1800diapers. It's really cute and it's made of a wipable fabric and it comes with a few extra's! It's around $35.
2. I need a satin hanger to hang the diaper stacker on. I found a set @ Amazon for around $12.

Getting Ready for Christmas

Today Casey and I went to cut down a Christmas Tree and we set it up this evening! Last year, our first Christmas, was my first real tree. I had never been to a Christmas Tree farm until last year, so this is still a fairly new experience for me, it's exciting! Well, I've been getting Christmas ornaments for us to represents certain exteriences we've had during the year and since we were pregnant this year - i got a Mom-To-Be Angel from Hallmark (seen to the left). I also got us a Parents-To-Be ornament!
This ornament to the left is a pregnant woman holding a jar of pickles and a bucket of ice-cream. Steriotypical right? I thought it was cute!!!
It snowed yesterday evening - exciting to wake up to snow on the ground - that doesn't happen much in Louisiana...
