Happy New Year!

I hope you all brought the new year in with a blast. We had a boring but relaxing evening. Chris worked on the basement while I took down the Christmas tree and got some things together for my Graduate school applications. We had dinner around 7, watched Over the Hedge, and went to bed by 10. Exciting huh? The kid isn’t even here yet and we are watching cartoons and going to bed before the New Year rings in. (At least it was midnight EST.) Oh well, I feel great today and am finally beginning to catch up from our trip to OH.

Today, for the first time in a LONG time, I went to the gym . I have been walking the pups at least 3 days a week for 45 minutes but haven’t been able to get on a cross-trainer in some time. Since I am taking the semester off from classes I now have Mondays and Fridays free. So I plan on making it to the gym at least 2 days a week (in addition to walking) until the baby comes. I am starting to freak out a little about my after baby body. Maybe I should have put the fudge down this Christmas because I know that the baby is not the only contributor to the “cheese” on my legs!!! Please, oh please, tell me that I will be able to get rid of all this jiggle.

Chris is busy being my electrician in the basement. I am so thankful to have such a handy and talented hubby. He is really moving along down there. After the electric is complete he has to put in the water supply line and then he can call the city inspector. After the inspector comes we will be in the home stretch. I think that we will get the basement done before Junior arrives. (Less than 2 months now!!)

I hope that you all start your year off right. May this year be filled with health, love, happiness and laughter. I think that 2007 is going to be a great one!!


Look at how beautiful it is here today- sunny and blue skies. I love it!! The snow on the ground really adds to the backdrop.
