It’s 2005!!

Obviously this year brings a lot of excitement! I think the time will go by rather quickly too. Next month my sister-in-law is due & it will be so fun to hold our little niece or nefew! Then in March we’ll celebrate 5 years of marriage, in April I’ll turn 25 and then Elliot arrive’s in May!

For New Year’s Eve we stayed in & watched a video after having dinner w/ my parents & grandparents. We’re both trying to get over colds so we weren’t up for any big partying.

On New Years I was totally blessed by my mom & grandma comming over & helping me take down all my Christmas decorations & straiten up the house. It was a big job that was so much easier with help. I’m all set to begin serious house-cleaning room by room in preparation for Elliot.

Yesterday we didn’t go to church b/w we’re both still not feeling well so we slept in. We did have lunch @ Daryl & Becky’s house with the whole family, which was really nice. We had a great time taking turns & sharing our New Year’s resolutions & then praying for God to enable us to acomplish them. I feel so blessed to be in a family of such faith, and I’m excited for Elliot to grow up with the heritage of believers.

So it’s Monday & I’m back at work. Still not feeling too great - wish I could just be in bed - especially on this rainy day. I am exited though b/c my first shipment of cloth diapers are due to arrive today, that should be fun to come home to!

Last night in our reading we learned about how important nutrition is to a healthy pregnancy & how it helps prevent things like toxemia & pre-eclampsia. I know it’s good to eat right, but I needed that chapter to really motivate me to really work on this area & quit eating junk food. I’ve been on a bit of a cookie craze lately. I’ll be getting some dried fruits & healthier snacks when I do my shopping this week. I also need to work on eating more veggies. I also want to eat healthy to prevent Gestational Diabetes & to do what I can to have a baby that isn’t too big.
