A lot has been going on since Thanksgiving and I haven't had the time, energy, or desire to blog.
*We had the Ward Christmas Party on Saturday. It was wonderful, but it was a lot of work.... I'll post another blog with pictures and info on that.
*Marco is going to North Carolina for a few months. Work has been really slow here and probably won't pick up for a while so Marco made a few phone calls to some contacts that he has in NC and he'll be heading out there until just before the baby is born. I'm really torn about the whole situation. Money has been tight, so it will be nice to have him working full time again, but I'm really going to miss him. I'm a total blubbering idiot. But after weighing our options this is the best one. So Marco and I are going to fly out to Raleigh Wednesday evening, and I'm flying back to Seattle Thursday afternoon. I would absolutely LOVE to take the time to visit everyone out there (I miss you all SO much!!) but seeing as I'm going to be in the city approximately 12 hours, and that I'm going to be leaving my husband there, I'm going to have to pass... Hopefully next time I'll be in the city for a while longer and be able to plan for more than just breakfast!!
*We had our 20 week ultrasound and we're going to have a BOY!! We're really excited to meet this little fellow. Now we're at 23 weeks... only 17 more to go! (He's currently the size of a large mango, he can hear sounds, and feels movement)
*Maria's been one sick little baby. It started about a week ago, general crabbiness... and it turned into a cough, and sore throat, runny nose, and fitful sleeping, and it's pretty much still the same... except she's not as crabby. She's passed it onto Marco and I too, and with the weather being below freezing, and windy, and the air super dry it's taking forever for us to all get back to normal.
*Uncle Dan came to visit. I saw him this past summer when we were driving thru Las Vegas, but the last time he came up to visit was about 10 years ago. It was nice seeing him again. It was fun seeing him interact with Maria. He's not so much into babies, but I think she had enough personality to distract him from the fact that she can't talk yet. He even let her "ride" his foot like a horse!
*I am an idiot. I'm one of those people who take on a project, and then take on another one, and another one, and another one until I go crazy... Not only was I in charge of the decorations for the Christmas Party (I had a wonderful committee backing me which was absolutely marvelous!!), and I've had a sick baby, and my husband is going to be leaving for a few months, but I'm also doing the Christmas Program for our Sacrament meeting this Sunday. I'm the Ward Music Chair, so I'm in charge of the music for Sacrament Meetings every Sunday. And since the Christmas Sunday Program is generally a mostly musical program I happily volunteered to set up something for a program.
*We're going to Idaho for Christmas. I'm really excited about this. I haven't seen my brother, his wife, or their two munchkins since this summer. I'm really excited for Maria to play with her cousins!! I'm trying to focus on the good things.... and hopefully that will distract me from the fact that husband won't be there.

You are crazy! And I am sad for you about Marco. I'm sorry. You can call all the time if you want. I'll speak Honduran to you. :)
Are you really doing the program on Sunday? Maybe I will insist we go to that ward... we'll be in WA on Friday night! When do you head to ID?
Congratulations on the baby boy news!!! :)
Congrats on a boy! But sad about Marco...I hope everything works out okay and that he can make it back as soon as possible! Call me when you are in Idaho!
