The holiday season is upon us!

Well Thanksgiving went by in a flash.  We had a great time visiting family, eating and playing all day long.  We started off at Grandpa and Mimi's house and ended up at Aunt Barbara's house.  Gus was so tuckered out he didn't even make the 10 minute drive home without falling asleep.  I think he might have made it 2 minutes.  The next day we joined Aunt Erica, Uncle Ryan, and cousins' Emma and John to see Santa come in town on his sleigh and sit down with the kids to hear their wishes at Crown Center

Baby H. #2 is growing and growing and growing!  12 weeks and counting.  Our little chinese cabbage (the size it is at 28 weeks) is moving all the time now.  This is a nice surprise since we had a little scare where there was about a week where I could hardly feel any movement at all.  We still are in the dark about what we are having but have talked about the different scenarios wondering what things will be like.  We have decided on a girls and a boys name at this point.  We have not come up with any firm back-ups though in case once the baby is born we are not feeling the original name we picked out.  I get my gestational diabetes test tomorrow with my monthly check up and then we start going every 2 weeks until the last month where we go every week.
Gus' big boy room is coming together.  He has a refurbished dresser, new mattress and box spring, new bedding, lamp, picture and area rug.  We have been playing in there at nights so he can get used to it.  We are going to try him in there on Friday night with the bed on the floor and see how he does.  If all goes well maybe in a month or so we will put the bed on a frame and use the headboard and footboard that Daddy and Grandpa put so much hardwork into and built just for Gus!  It is very cool.  Gus will love it I am sure.
As far as Quentin and I we are doing very well.  We are anxious for the baby but are enjoying our time with Gus before the baby comes.  We are really looking forward to Christmas morning this year since Gus will be more aware of what is going on.  I am not sure if we are not more excited then Gus :-)
