December

Ahhhh!! It is beginning to look and feel like Christmas around here.(minus snow!) I actually like the snow believe it or not. It comes territory to living in the midwest. I can't believe we only have 29 days left in this month!! It is just a crazy thought. December is a busy month. My husband and I's birthdays are this month, and then Christmas plus lots of get togethers. It will be fun. I am actually looking forward to my birthday this year. Maybe because I am not 7 months pregnant (don't get me wrong I loved being pregnant, it was just to the point I was starting to feel large and blah!)

We put the tree a bit earlier than normal. Claire is just in "ahhh" of it. She hasn't played with it yet. I think she likes the lights! Claire also got her first "Smores" Collections ornament! I am in love with this collection. I hope to have tree dedicated to them at some point!
Claire turned 9 months on the 24th of November. She had her well child check yesterday and is doing great! We have a new doctor. Her old one moved to Florida (perfect timing huh?) She is 29 in and 21 lbs. She is ahead in developement. Her doctor was very pleased. She says we are doing a great job! Which really made me feel good. I always question whether I am good parent. I know that I am but it is always in the back of your mind...am I doing a good job? We decided to go ahead and do the first half of her H1N1 vaccine. It was a hard decision but in the end...I'd rather have my child because I choose to be proactive about it then not and have her catch it and something horrible happen. I am still up in the air about the whole vaccine thing. I know it is the right thing.

My hubby is going back to school for pharmacy technician. He should be done in a year. He needed something more realiable. He has been laid off several times this year, and is just fed up! It has been such a struggle for us. We just give it to the good Lord, and know He will ultimately guide us in the direction we need to go. I have been searching for a part-time job. I thought with the holiday season something would of come about but no such luck yet.

I am working on this photo thing...trying to figure out what I like and don't like. Hang in there!
