Happy New Year!! It's now 2013 and our little guy will be here so very soon! For New Years Eve E.J. and I hung out at home and relaxed. We cheered sparkling grape juice and kissed for the 14th year in a row! My how the years have flown:) For New Years Day I cooked our traditional meal...fried chicken, collard greens, black eyed peas and corn bread...this year adding peach cobbler. My Dad and Stepmom surprised us around dinner time so we had them join us. It was delicous and we had a good time. My birthday was Thursday. It was a really good one...E.J. bought me some boots that I've wanted! THEN, he surprised me by making an offer on a car and the guy accepted it so Saturday we went and picked it up! Sooooo, I have a new 2010 Honda Accord EX-L! It's super nice...leather enterior black, heated seats, xm radio, and so many other bells and whistles! BUT most of all, it's reliable and SAFE (and will get good gas mileage!). I'm relieved and so thankful to have it! It drives so nice:) Saturday afternoon my friends Kristin and Apryl came over and helped me paint baby's room! Then we put the dresser and bookshelf in there and it looks so good! I'm so excited!!!!! It's all coming along:) E.J. finished the flooring in the foyer!! It was awesome:) We celebrated when he laid the last piece! It was awesome:) Things are happening....this house is getting baby ready!
Sunday I had another shower! My mom and sisters threw me a beautiful shower at my mom's house. We had a great time! I have to tell you quickly about the most memorable gift... My friend Missy's mom (Missy and I have been friends since we were 2 so her mom is like a mom to me) arrived at the shower around 3:30, it started at 2! She brought in this HUGE bag and I started to open it... First thing I saw was 4 bags of diapers, AWESOME!! Then a box... She told me it was just the cutsie stuff as I started to open it. Well, the first thing I saw was something pink and I thought it was strange but I still wasn't sure what it was...well, when I pulled it out I held it up and it was a pink dress!! I looked at Missy and Apryl and just said thank you. At that point Missy said "Mom, she's having a boy!!" I almost died....I couldn't contain myself. I started laughing hysterically, as did my mom, sisters, Missy, Apryl and Missy's mom. I started pulling out dress after dress as tears rolled down my face from laughing so hard. Vicki, Missy's mom, then said "Well, I guess you're not going to need the pink booties that I got you!" Oh my gosh...best gift! I hadn't laughed so hard in such a long time! It was hillarious.
Anyway, lots to say I suppose! Well, here's a new pic:) It's of my mom, sisters and I:) Enjoy!

•Food Cravings: I don't know...I don't think I had any this past week!
•Anything Making Me Queasy: Nope. Yay!

•Movement: It's so amazing! I can really feel him wiggling around! I feel him mostly on my left side (has to be his hands???) and upper bump (his butt? feet?!). It's crazy!!! He rolls around and it's intense! My mom got to feel him at the shower and was like "Holy cow! He's really moving and it's strong movements!" Yep, I get to feel that everyday...almost all day long! I love it:):):)
