Well we are in Pennsylvania this week for Christmas and a northern baby shower. I wasn't sure how the 8 plus hour drive would go on the way up. But it wasn't too bad, I didn't get too uncomfortable in the car and there weren't any "accidents". Matt did a good job getting me to a bathroom when that urge hit. We however didn't get a lot of walking time in. Dr. H suggested getting out every couple hours and walking a bit. Once we hit Virginia it started snowing and there was snow on the ground at every breaking spot- so I couldn't do much walking outside. I would walk around inside the gas station for awhile before using the bathroom and walk around again after, so we made do.
Matt got to see some real snow on this trip- he even made a snowman :)

So cute coming home and me going inside to sit and wonder "what happened to my husband" to look outside to see him building a snowman by himself. Made me think about future Christmases with grandma and grandpa and building a snowman as a family.
Christmas was nice. I hope you all had a blessed Christmas as well.
Matt bought the baby a recordable teddy bear for Christmas. I love that the patchwork on the bear matches some of the colors we are using in the nursery.
It will be fun to record different things as our little one grows up. My mom always leaves notes for me/us when she visits for us to find after she leaves. Matt and I also leave notes for each other - so it's like carrying on a tradition in an auditory way :)
Matt and the baby also got me a beautiful rose gold ring.
Matt said the baby told him I needed it. Currently my wedding rings still fit- but if the time comes that my fingers swell and I have to take them off I can wear my new band on that finger (so it doesn't feel so naked) but for right now I'm wearing it on my right hand.
The baby and I got Matt a keychain that says "our hero". This is the picture and caption he posted on facebook.
He has truly been our hero throughout this pregnancy. I can not imagine where we would be right now if he had not believed in me and given me the courage to quit my job. He was my strength and sounding board when I needed him. And now he is giving me the opportunity to stay at home and raise our child. Our hero. I also got him a onsie from the baby that says daddy and me.
The above gifts weren't anything though- the best part was being able to spend Christmas with my family.
