The Home Stretch

Happy December!  This morning I was excited when I remembered that it was the first day of December.  But, when I said it to Jonathon, he replied "Don't remind me!"  He has two weeks left of school until his graduation.  I also have one week left of my Spanish.  So, we are both on the home stretch of schooling right now.  He has some big papers left and finals, so he's working hard and is usually pretty good staying on task.  Tonight, we both decided to take a break from studying and drive over to Cold Stone to feed us and the baby.  Molly Pocket even came along for the car ride!  After getting our ice cream, we thought it would be fun to check out the Christmas lights on our way home, but so far there aren't too many.  Even still, we were able to see some houses here and there while we listened to Christmas music.  It was a nice study break, but back to the books!  

This next week, we have our 20 week ultrasound.  I can't believe we're technically halfway through and once the winter is passed, we will get to meet our little one.  We are still not going to find out the gender at this ultrasound, as long as the technician doesn't slip...Before we got pregnant, I thought I always wanted to know the gender, but since being pregnant I have changed my mind.  I mean, how many surprises like this are in the world?  You grow a human inside of you for and at the end you push it out and someone yells "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!"  I love surprises and I don't mind waiting for this one.  It'll be fun to get to know them when they come into the world in a few months.  Jonathon and I will be happy with either a boy or a girl and have even started to agree on a few names (this is the hard part for us).  Since we are not going to find out the gender, I thought I'd put up some fun things for the next blog post to see if we can guess the gender.  So, wait for that within the next week.
