The Kettering Cottage

Weeeee'rrrreee Baaaaccckkk !!!

WHAT A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON!!!

The quality time that we got to share with each other, family and friends is priceless. We are so thankful for those special people in our lives and what a better way to spend our few down days than with those we love; even those long distance loves! Everyone has been so generous to us and the baby.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

As you can tell it's been really cold in and around the Kettering Cottage!

Today's high is 31.

Brrrrr!!!

A few days before Christmas we were blessed with 6inches of white stuff and the dogs were in Winter Wonderland Heaven!

We are still finalizing the DIY kitchen reno that we showed you a few posts back, floors and a few "details" and it will be good to go and then off to another project.

I have been doing really good with the pregnancy. I am currently 26.5 weeks along. There is a doctors appointment later this week that we are looking forward to as we'll get to see Baby Boy Kettering via ultrasound again as well as meet one of the physicians that we've heard so many good things about. On the downside I have my glucola test. I'm not looking forward it however it is the closest thing to a cocktail I've had in a long while! (testing for gestational diabetes) I will also be traveling for work this week- something I have not done while pregnant. I've heard good and bad things about flying while with child...I'll be able to report more on that by next week. Hopefully, the recent rise TSA & national security measures will not have much effect on my short trip to Tampa and back and the swelling will not be too bad.

The upstairs bedroom is starting to look more like a nursery these days; after I was blessed to have "help the pregnant lady day" 01/01/2010! My Mom and Aunt Connie took the entire day to help me...I mean they worked it out!!! C'mas was packed away, cabinets and closets re-organized, baby clothes sorted...you name it they did it! I am so thankful...words could never ever say how cool it was to have them do that! I can now walk in the baby's room and breath normally without starting to hyperventilate over the mess and lack of progress!

We just wanted to let you guys know that all is good here!

We've paused at the corner of Ho Hum & Easy Streets happy as larks.

Happy New Year to all and may it bring you all the best!

Until Next Time..... Let's all stop here and take a load off!
