The New Year!

Elijah and I went to baby Orientation. Needless to say, I could have done with skipping it! It was basically a run down on everything that could go wrong with our baby and all of the testing and screenings Kaiser offers, nearly all of which I plan to forgo. But tomorrow is the first real appointment with my Doctor! I don't know how fun it will be or if I will get an ultrasound or not.

We spent New Years at home, joined by Steph, eating some chips and dip and watching movies (or falling asleep to movies!). Elijah woke us up to watch the ball drop and drink some sparkling cider...and then I was back to bed!

As a Christmas present to each other, we spent the New Year's weekend in Solvang. I made Ebelskiver (Danish round pancakes) with my new pan Saturday morning and ate with good friends and we all went to Solvang together and enjoyed the tourist shops, Danish treats and a motorcycle museum! I was very worn out by the afternoon when we said goodbye to our friends and indulged in a nap at the hotel before we drove to Pismo for some awesome Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl. The next day we had breakfast in Solvang and bought an Advent Candle and a little baby hat, then decided to head home (I had been feeling naseus and exhausted). All in all, a very fun weekend away from our busy life! I don't have many pictures besides the ones from the motorcycle museum.

Oh, and I bought new jeans this weekend...and decided to grab a 6 and a smaller fitting 8. I usually wear a 4-6 but figured bigger sizes would last quite a big longer as I grow in the next few months. Crazy. I just sort of realized that most of my clothes will not fit in a few months!!

Great Grandma is home from the hospital! At her own home! And when my grandparents go back home to Wyoming she will have a lady staying with her for 24 hour care, helping her with anything she needs. She is a stubborn grandma and I know this will be hard for her as she hasn't had the best experience with in-home care when my great Grandpa needed it...but I am praying she will see this is a lot better than having to go somewhere else for care!

Your clothes won't fit...but that's why you have a big sister...so you can wear her clothes while you're pregnant! Haha! Love ya sis!
