Ooooo, it's chilly!

Finally stopped raining, but now it's freezing. Literally freezing, it got down to 30 here in Livermore last night. Brrrrr!

Christmas day was nice. Mom, her friend Cindy and Ron came over Christmas day. Mom made delicious quiche, "You don't spell it Son, you eat it!" We watched some basketball, Lakers kicked some green butt :)

We spend some time mulling over the baby name book, still nothing definite. I started making dinner and Rob called and was being passed around for every one's update. Ron entertained himself by playing darts. So I threw a few too. Mom claimed to have never played before so I gave her the basics and off she went. By the end of two or three rounds of 301, she was a pro. She even hit a few bulls eye. Can you say Dart Shark?
We had dinner, nothing spectacularly holiday'ish, just brined, roasted chicken and brussel sprouts. Which I found out not everyone likes. Yumm, I love brussel sprouts. Ron likened them to lawn cuttings, but he humored me and choked down a couple anyway. That was pretty much our Christmas day.

We did exchange a few presents, Pam sent me this beautiful sweater. Here it is with my belly at 4 1/2 months. I'm right at the 1/2 way point.










I have the big ultrasound on Jan 8th. This is the appointment where we can find out the sex if we so decide. Which I haven't decided, I can go either way. The practical side of me says "it is what it is", knowing, not knowing isn't going to change the outcome, just find out so you and everyone else can start preparing. But the old fashioned surprise factor is very appealing to me. We'll see....
