Our Special Day

Felix and I had a very different Christmas this year.  It was different because it was the first year that we didn't travel to three different states to visit family. It was different because we didn't spend hours opening presents on Christmas morning. It was also different because just the two of us celebrated alone in our home for the first time ever since we have been married.  Due to the pregnancy and various other reasons, we let our families off the hook this year and decided we would celebrate as a family of two for the very last time. This may not seem like a big deal to everyone, but this was our 7th Christmas together, so we wanted to make it special.  We woke up late on Christmas morning and Felix made us a  HUGE breakfast. We had pancakes, eggs, bacon, biscuits and all the fixings.  We pretty much laid around ALL day and watched Christmas movies, and we even got up the energy to go for a little walk since it was 70 degrees outside that day.  To end the day on a special note, Felix booked Christmas dinner for us at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead. We went to the 5:00 seating (yes, I am hungry and pregnant) and we enjoyed many, many courses of wonderful food. It was a nice evening together that we will never forget.  I must admit that we are now ready for our sweet baby girl to come into this world whenever she is ready! She is the main reason that we have to be so thankful this holiday season, and we are very anxious for her to get here.  Please  keep us in your prayers these next couple of weeks for a easy delivery and for a healthy baby girl!

Blair's Nursery

We FINALLY got Miss Blair's nursery finished up this weekend!   I have to say it is my favorite room in the house. Felix and I find ourselves just sitting in there rocking away in the glider.  I think we consider it "the calm before the storm" just because we know we probably will not concentrate on how beautiful the room is AT ALL once Blair arrives; she will of course get ALL of our attention :)  I will be 36 weeks on  Thursday, and we have a doctor appointment that day. I can't believe that she could basically be here any day now. It just seems unreal, and we are really excited about meeting her!!   Here are a few pics of the nursery...
