It's December!!

So I am very, very excited about it finally being December for a few reasons, the most obvious is that Emily Grace will be arriving in less than 2 weeks! The other is that it's the Christmas month & December 31st happens to be my favorite holiday! :) Every year since 2005 I have celebrated New Year's at my cousins' house with all our closest friends, but this year, the New Year's bash has been retired, and we will be celebrating at our house, with my cousin & her family, around a warm fire with some cold drinks. I will be surrounded by my favorite people and I wouldn't have it any other way! I absolutely can not wait!

Today I have to go back to my doctor office's lab to drop off my SECOND 24hr portein test. [they lost my first one...yeah!] Hopefully I will hear about the results before my next appointment on Monday. That would really just give me a heads up on when Emily will arrive. Whether it be next week, or her original date of December 14th, I don't care, as long as she is healthy & doesn't need any NICU stay. I know how hard that is on a mother to have to leave their baby in the hospital, when they get to go home and I don't wish to go through that at all. But I have faith that she will be okay, no matter when she comes & we will both get to go home together.

Yesterday Matt & I recieved our new cell phones. We have been using a prepaid cell phone since my wreck in March...so this was a pretty exciting thing for us. lol. So many people have asked us how we could live without a 'real' cell phone, & to be honest, it's not that hard. So many people rely on technology to live these days & they forget that once upon a time, none of it was here. And we all survived just fine. I take pride in the fact that I don't rely on a cell phone like so many do. It's not my life, and never will be. I didn't even get my first cell phone until I was 19, and MARRIED! I never bugged my mom about getting me one when I was in high school, it never even crossed my mind. But, nonetheless, I am ECSTATIC to finally have a cell phone. But I will not become dependent on it. :) Matt however, may become pretty dependent on his due to the business, but that's okay.

Well, I think that's about it for the first day of December. Hope everyone else is as excited about December, and the little things, as I am.
