Last Christmas as non-parents!

So our last Christmas as non-parents is over which means this whole having a baby thing is getting closer and closer. We had a great break so far and the only complaint is that it's been too short. We had our families come to Savannah which was great. It was strange not being at our respective homes at all for the Christmas season but it was good to see everybody. The Templetons (Liz teaches their youngest boy Ben) were nice enough to let us use their beach house on Tybee for a week or so. It was very relaxing in between Tasha's loud and crazy parties...just kidding Sissy!

Liz is still doing great. We just went to the doctor for a check up today and came back with a good report. Dr. Toraya was out of town so we met with a nurse practitioner instead. It was good to get a good report from a new face. She said Liz's weight gain and belly size are exactly where they should be and that Brooks' heartbeat is exactly where it should be as well. Brooks must have heard her and celebrated with a kick/punch or two (maybe a high five??) in the doctors office. I keep waiting for Liz to "act" pregnant but I don't know if it will happen. She is her usual determined and independent self just with a really big belly. She has been better about letting me get stuff down for her if it's up high (it's easy when you are as tall as I am) and she has stopped trying to lift heavy things but other than that she really has not changed.

So these last 33 weeks have flown by. No, seriously, for real. It still feels like it's been about a month since we first found out. Feb. 17th will be here before we know it. I will admit that I have been more nervous than Liz has but really only about small things like do I know how to hold a baby. I'm sure I will learn as I go.

Ok I guess it's not the best idea to make your very pregnant wife clean the house by herself so I'll stop there.
