Lately

Well, I haven't posted for a while. After getting my camera fixed, I only have a few pictures to share, but I figured I'd get up-to-date with what's been going on lately:

-Christmas was awesome. We ended up going to Aunt Lisa's Christmas Eve party and we had a blast eating, playing a white elephant game, and playing Skip-Bo. Then we stayed over at Scott's parents house, opened presents, talked to his brother on a mission, and had a tasty breakfast. Later that night we partied at the Dicksons with a delicious dinner, program, presents, and a fun game of Hink Pink.

-I had two excellent baby showers over the Christmas break. The first was given by my sister-in-law and sisters. I actually got a few pictures out of that one. The second was given by my husband's aunt, his cousin, and his grandma. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of that one. I was kicking myself the next day, as some great friends showed up that I don't get to see every day! Both were lots of fun and I got some great gifts. Thanks to all family who made it possible and to everyone that came!

-New Year's Eve was spent seeing "True Grit" (which I love) with Scott's parents during the day and playing games at my brother's house at night. We ended up playing "Beyond Balderdash" with lots of laughs and also "Trivial Pursuit." After the ball dropped, we spent some time predicting who we all thought would die in 2011. My well-informed sister predicted about three people who are already dead.

-Now with the new year here, we are doing things to get ready for Alice. Her nursery is done and very cute, might I add. We still have a few things to get for her and an apartment to clean (probably a few cars too), but we are ready for her to be here already! After being sick for weeks and not being able to take drugs that actually help, I have decided that I am done with pregnancy. I have a terrible cough and cold that have been lingering forever, and then yesterday I went to the doctor only to find that I have an outer ear infection in both of my ears, pink eye (where in the world I got that, I will never know), and some sort of bacterial infection. About $70 later, I went home with antibiotics, eye drops, and ear drops. I feel like a disease! Today I went to the OB/GYN and I have not dilated at all. Well, there's always next week, I suppose.
