New Year

Well, well, well, it's the New Year and I haven't updated the blog in 6 months...so I guess it's time to update the 2 of you who might read this blog. We just returned from Christmas in the States and a house full of nieces and nephews. It was a good time, a bit crazy, but it was fun, barely had time to do all that we wanted, visiting all the friends and family. We did a long layover in Philly so we could see the newest Nephew born, and lucky for us he was born the day we were meant to leave but we got pushed to the next day's flight and were able to see him.

But I suppose I should update on our latest adventure and that is the kid we're expecting on St. Patrick's Day...so that makes me 30 weeks along. We waited until 20 weeks to tell people just for fun. But all is going well and Lucy and Sugar threw a mini shower just before I left, so now we have our first baby clothes and even a stroller and car seat...crazy. We are working off the assumption that this is a girl, the doc said that he would've liked to have seen it clearer but his impression is that it's a girl...so that's what we're going on now, and of course we only have boy names that we both like. Andrew is vehemently anti Facebook announcements, so this will probably be the only venue for anything baby related to come...

Anyway, other things we were able to do was go to a Jazz game, Andrew's first NBA experience, visit a few friends with new babies and go sledding with the nephews, not to mention all the Christmas festivities. We also got to see Mark and Cat and fam including Maile who is now over a year old but we hadn't met her yet. So now we've officially met all the Nieces and Nephews. So now we're back in Ireland and back to the grind for now. Happy New Year!
