i believe in christmas...

We had a great Thanksgiving with my mom's family in Abilene. Part of the activities included moving my grandparents to Abilene. We also had fun playing tennis, indoor soccer, going to the ACU football game, eating, and playing games at the house. Somehow I was so wrapped up in the activities that I didn't get any pictures.

I've been enjoying the Christmas decorations and music. Today I did some gift shopping and watched Christmas movies at home. This semester has gone so fast. I'm looking forward to being in the snowy mountains in a week curled up in the lodge with a book.

As far as pregnancy goes, I'm 14 weeks along. I've still been fortunate enough not to have nausea or morning sickness. I'm slowly starting to get some energy back, although it comes and goes. I have had a cold for several weeks with coughing, sore throat, runny nose. I'm not sure if it's due to the pregnancy or if it's just lingering because I'm not taking any decongestants. Either way, I'd much rather have a cold than be throwing up, so I feel lucky.

I'm starting to show just a little bit. It's enough now that a couple people I've seen who didn't know I was pregnant have asked me. That's always a risky thing to do, but it made me so excited that they could tell I was pregnant! The baby is now about 3 inches long. We got to hear the heartbeat and see him or her squirm around quite a bit last week. Here are some pictures with the Christmas decor.
