Last Christmas without a Baby..

4 weeks and 3 days..


Merry Christmas! Ok, so I am a day late, but I still want you to feel that holiday cheer.

I am a blessed man. I had a fantastic Christmas weekend eating lots of delicious food and being surrounded by family that loves me as much as I love them. Even though our financial and job situation is not EXACTLY where we would like it to be...I feel so lucky. There are so many people in this world that have no one and have nothing during the holidays. It really makes you appreciate everything you have and it also gives me great perspective.



I spent Christmas Eve with my Dad and my sisters family and then I spent Christmas day with Megan's side of the family. At my Dads, Megan and I had the best time opening gifts with our adorable 2 year old nephew Alton and watching him get so excited. He is a big Buzz Lightyear fan and when he would see anything with Buzz his face would light up and it just warmed my heart. I can see how much joy Martha and Jon get from Alton and I cannot wait to feel that myself.



This is the last Christmas before Meglos comes into this world. Megan is at that stage where she just is ready to have the baby and we are both ready to hold MegLos in our arms. It is very fitting in so many ways that this will be our last "solo" Christmas. I am 30 and by this time in my life I am ready to see Christmas in another light. I want to see Christmas through the eyes of a child again. As you get older Christmas is more about getting the presents for others, making sure you have the money to spend on them, traveling here and shopping there. Christmas while not being bad in the least. is a lot different then when you where a kid growing up. I remember staying up all night in your bed and hoping to maybe spot Santa. Getting that one toy you were really hoping to get and then playing with it for less then a month until you moved on to something else. I am ready to do the whole build up of Santa to my child, the cookies and the milk thing and decorating the tree and house just as good as my Dad did for me. I am a softy at heart for sure and Christmas is something very special to both Megan and I cannot wait to share it with our child. It will be like I am a kid all over again.



GESTATIONAL DIABETES UPDATE- Megan passed the second test with flying colors so she DOES NOT have gestational diabetes! It was great news to hear during the holiday season. :)
