December 26, 2000

10 weeks, 1 day

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a good Christmas. This whole season has been rough around here. Sometimes family isn't as great as it sounds. I grew up with just my immediate family and now I have in-laws and a stepfamily. It is different. Even though I have had both for awhile I still have to adjust around the holidays.

Yes, I did tell everyone yesterday. I made up Christmas cards on my computer for my family and different ones for his family. The ones for my family were very straightforward (i.e. "You are going to be a grandma!"). The ones for his family said from Tony, Cherylyn and Sierra or Cody (we don't know which). It took his family a few seconds to catch on! He chose what to do for them and I chose for my family. No, those names aren't set in stone but those are our favorites and have been for some time. My mom and my sister screamed! It made everyone's Christmas much better. Of course I cried and Tony was like, "Why were you crying?" thinking how strange his wife has become! Overall it was a good holiday.

My next doctor appointment is on Jan. 4. My doctor said that we should be able to hear the heartbeat then. I hope so. Slowly it is becoming real to me. Once I hear the heartbeat I think it will completely click in my mind. Yeah, I've gained a couple of pounds and I am overly emotional and my face is still broken out (although not nearly as bad) but somehow it seems like it isn't happening to me. My husband tells me that once I really start to show that I will be restricted on my driving. I am only 5 feet tall and I am not anywhere near 14 inches from the steering wheel. Well, we will see about that!

Maybe now that the holidays are over I can get back to a more normal self. I can't seem to get anything done no matter how hard I try. I still have so much more to do! Not to mention that I have pregnancy brain really bad. My husband can't understand why I can't remember even the simplest things!

Well, I am going to end this now. I have to go back to work. Hope everyone has a good new year. Good luck and enjoy yourself!

Cherylyn and Roo
