Whew! What a whirlwind this year for the holidays. Baby T seemed to enjoy them except had a little snafu after Christmas dinner, where I got sick unexpectedly. It was really my first middle of the day m/s episode.
Baby T made out like a bandit and the scary thing is Baby T isn't even born yet! I have to admit that I also contributed to the presenting of Baby T with R. Sabuda's Winter's Tale book (insanely intricate pop-up book that is too cool/beautiful). I also bought a 'Make a Wish' Foundation ornament from Things Remembered and had our last name engraved on it. My plan is to get Baby T an ornament every year with baby's name on it so s/he will have a bunch of ornaments when they move out of the house...many moons from now. Kind of a legacy or tradition thing I am excited about trying out.
Nana and grandpa T got Baby T LOADS of stuff--3 leap frog toys, inlcuding the drum, a lap-top type thing and a stroller or car seat toy. Baby T also has a beautiful hand-made stocking Nana made that was filled with goodies like a thermometer, outlet covers, orajel, etc. Additionally, they gave Max and I a really nice camcorder so we can make baby movies from Day One. (I have however stipulated that there shall be no cameras--video or otherwise--during the actual birthing process or until baby has been cleaned up and dressed.)
Grandma V got baby 'Pat the Christmas Bunny' (PTB is my favorite baby book!) and bought our travel system with stroller and car seat for baby. We've already put it together and it is very nice:)
After Christmas I bought this really neat Christmas themed scrapbook and I am going to make the insert pages now so each year we can just add some pictures of baby and a little journaling about what s/he got for Christmas and the hot toys that year, etc. I am really excited about this project too!
So baby made out like a bandit! I can only imagine what next year will be like when there actually is a live and out-of-the-womb baby!
