Until now...


So, it has been awhile since I updated my blog, and I could make a bunch of excuses but I won't. Since my last post, we have celebrated Halloween (Finn was both Superman and a zebra this year); in mid-November I found out I was pregnant (I'm due July 27); we spent Thanksgiving with Daniel's family in Mississippi; and we spent Christmas with my family in Memphis. I can now play the guitar pretty decently and have started piano lessons. I have read Anna Karenina and David Copperfield (both excellent books that you should read if you haven't already) and have started on Atlas Shrugged. I don't know why I have wanted to read books that are over 700 pages long lately. I have bought girl's clothing for the new baby even though I won't know the sex until March 10th. I just couldn't resist. They were on clearance and so cute, but I can still return them if it's a boy. Finn is talking and talking and talking and also got to build his first snowman at the beginning of December. I'm doing great now that I'm at the end of my first trimester and am no longer nauseated. The holidays weren't so great though, as far as feeling sick goes. Oh and Daniel gets to go to Italy for work at the end of April, and I'm so jealous. I'm happy for him because he has never been out of the country before, but oh how I love Italy. It is one of my favorite places on earth. Also, I wanted to be the one to be with Daniel on his first adventure on foreign soil and especially his first Italian adventure! Oh, well. C'est la vie. I can't complain though. Life is good, and I have a lot of fun things planned for myself before the baby gets here.
