Blossoming a.k.a. Getting Big!

Apparently I am getting bigger, or should I say, Reese is growing and making my belly blossom. It seems like everyone noticed on Friday and felt like telling me "You are getting big!". Thank you? I must say, even though it's great that I am getting bigger because it means Reese is growing, I don't really like to hear the words. I mentioned this to someone at work and they said, "Well, you have blossomed". I guess that does sound better. :)

So here we are. Matt and I had two Christmas parties to attend on Saturday night, so we got a little dressed up. I had to ditch the boots and go for my new patent leather flats. My ankles have started to swell too. It's not so bad just yet, but after a late night on Saturday they were very swollen.

Earlier in the day, I attended my friend Kasey's baby shower. She is scheduled to deliver her baby boy Dylan on December 27th. Kasey and I spent a lot of time comparing pregnancy stories. It was nice to be able to discuss all of the fun and not so fun stuff that comes with this wonderful experience.

Before I know it, my belly will be this big, then I'll really be hearing those words from you guys. :) I promise to not take it personal.

On Sunday, Matt and I attended our first hospital class: The Hospital Tour. We received a lot of great information about preparing for the big day and also toured the Labor and Delivery room and the Postpartum room. It was nice to see where the action will be taking place once Reese is ready to arrive.
