Early December was a whirlwind. The kids were excited to have all the Christmas stuff out. I was feeling a bit bewildered, knowing I was pregnant again and trying to figure out what they meant for our year. The weather was really nice at least, and we tried to spend a lot of time outside, and going and doing for the first week or two before the "morning" sickness really set in. I was able to do several fun outings at least with Katy and Shawn, which they really enjoyed. I also got up the energy to put some Christmas lights up outside one day after we'd been walking, which is always a bit of an adventure for me. Jeremy was probably wishing he had gotten around to it by the time I was done. It wasn't much to look at, but I love Christmas lights, inside or outside. They make me really happy. :)
The kids had their Winter Sing for school, which was a bit of a fiasco. They usually have it at Westwood High, but they had it at Dobson this year instead, which they said would seat more. Maybe it technically did, but when we got there like 15 minutes early there was mass chaos and standing room only. They finally had to have all of the first grade classes go backstage and wait for their turn, which freed up -some- seats. It was crazy. We had come in two cars, so Jeremy actually stood with Shawn in the Tula (backpack carrier) and then left after Reilly's first song (he saw the other two performances, but it was super crowded and already 30 minutes past Shawn's bedtime. It was Katy's first performance of any kind (except church) and she was pretty excited. :)
Here is also a random picture of Shawn and Jeremy when Jeremy was analyzing x-rays. One of Shawn's favorite things is to visit Jeremy at his office. :)
The rest of the month is a little blurry. I got pretty sick pretty fast and it's worst the first 4-6 weeks that I'm sick. I mostly lay in bed during that time, and Jeremy took care of feeding everyone, cleaning and laundry, while still trying to keep things going at the office. A little crazy for all of us.
