Family visit

I finally get to post something about my sister coming to see me. I'm sooooo excited. I've known about it for weeks and had to keep it a secret. My brother in law bought her a ticket for the first week in January. It was a Christmas present, but I feel it was a Christmas present for me too. I already have a dinner reservation made, and am looking at tickets for "The Lion King". We are going to have fun. I haven't seen her in 9 months. This is why I didn't get sad this year about getting older. Everyday I had a count down of when she was going to call me and tell me about her gift. Can you tell I'm pumped up?!

Charlie is not my friend!

For a brief moment I forgot how much pregnancy charlie horses hurt. I had my first one with this pregnancy 2 nights ago. I'm always amazed how it catapults you out of a dead sleep, and you pray to make it stop fast. Mine goes something like this. I scream bloody murder(calling for Jerry) and start rolling around, until Jerry can straighten my leg out to relieve the cramp. Then after a few minutes, which feels like eternity, we go back to sleep. All the joys of carrying a bambino!
