Where has this month gone? Between Caleb's birthday and Christmas, the month is busy enough. Throw in a tummy bug for him and a head cold for me and here we are.
Had a nice basic Dr. checkup today. So anticlimatic after our big ultrasound appointment last month. Went over all the latest like the cold which is starting to ease up and the recent increase in need for Tums. Perhaps I can craft a little necklace or belt clip to hold a few on reserve at all times. I can still feel Baby C kicking very low and so I realize that what I feel up under my ribs isn't so much him as just my belly now being so much higher to accomodate for him. Feels much like it did during the end of my pregnancy with Caleb.
I've been reminded of the old wives tale that my indigestion means this baby will be born with a full head of hair. Well, it did prove true for Caleb who always had a lot of hair since birth.
Had a great time with Caleb's birthday on the 8th and now looking forward to the approach of Christmas Day. Caleb is so fascinated with Santa now, visiting with him last weekend and asking for his Christmas wishlist. He's been putting on his own Santa hat around the house and pretending to drive his sleigh, talking about what presents he'll be bringing and saying "Oh oh oh!" Lots of fun.
Not much else to report, just trying to savor the last days of the holiday time before it slips away on us again. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this time too!
Take care,

New Poll
Just for ha has I added a new poll for this month. I know if might be tough to say but, thought I'd throw this out there just to see if anyone has any feelings about Baby C's arrival. Our Plan A is for a scheduled C-section at 39 weeks. Haven't set the date for that yet but, the 39th week is 3/26/08- 4/1/08. I'm leaning towards the 26th.
Caleb came two weeks earlier than his due date. That kind of has been a good indication of his personality as a boy who prefers to run anywhere than walk and is always so active and on the go.
Will Baby C follow in his big brother's example? Or will he take a more laid back approach to things?
Probably too soon to tell but might be fun to guess.

Growing and growing
I've read that this is the time that the baby (and I) will grow a lot. I can tell as the appetite has sure gone up. But, seem to be having to watch what I eat more so I don't have to reach for the Tums too much.
Last week, Baby C had really settled into a spot down low and seemed to be leaning on a nerve that gave me lower back pain. This week he seems to have shifted somehow that has relieved me of that pain so I can take strolls outside at work again which is nice. Of course, he may have shifted upward and that may be why I've had more indigestion. When it really comes down to it, there is only so much room to grow a baby before they start bumping into something!!!
Caleb has gotten really used to the idea of his baby brother coming. Well, as much as an almost three year old can about someone he hasn't met yet. We talk about him often though and this morning Caleb was talking about being the best brother.
Of course right now a lot of attention is on Caleb with his 3rd birthday approaching on Saturday. Plus the excitement of Christmas. He says that he is going to sit on Santa's lap and ask him for a few Christmas presents. Throughout the day, there are other topics that Caleb will say that he wants to share with Santa. I don't know, he could get shy and scared and back out. Or, he might want to settle in and chat for awhile with Santa. It will be interesting to see.
It's fun to watch Caleb this year really becoming interested in Christmas and watching the specials with us and singing the Christmas songs. I can only imagine having two little boys running around the house as we count down to Christmas in the next few years.
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holiday season. Take care and talk to you soon.
