And we are ready for Christmas.
Thanks to a fellow blogger and Star Wars fan we were able to get Matt's final Christmas gift ... a red light sabre.
The funny thing is, this isn't a terribly expensive gift. It's a $10 toy, but he has been asking Santa for it non-stop. And, no matter how hard I looked the stores were sold out. So, I was more than thrilled when I got a phone call saying one had been located.
And, thanks everyone for looking.
Tonight we also finished up our daycare gifts. Well, almost. We ran out of cellophane, but other than that we are done. Matthew made cards for each of his teachers and then I wrote personal messages. It was kind of fun asking him what is special about each teacher. One sings good songs, another reads good books, another is a good hugger. And, then there is one, a substitute teacher for a month who "isn't a teacher. She's just a person." So, I had to be creative with that one. But, all in all I feel like the teachers will know they are loved and appreciated both by us and by Matthew. And, that's what Christmas is all about.

Tomorrow I go for my last OB appointment before Christmas. I've had lots of doctors appointments over the past couple of weeks (just various tests, etc), but I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Lately everything has felt a lot more real to me. I'm definitely looking pregnant and feeling pregnant. And, this baby is moving around a lot. We've also been debating names AGAIN. See why we keep the name thing a secret? The name we loved now we just like and we have moved on to a name we love more.
The thing I find funny is that when I'm making lists of names, most of the names are variations of names that I gave various dolls growing up. In fact, if we stick with the name we have chosen, it's just a reversal of one of my favourite doll names ever. Trust me - this wasn't a conscious decision. It just is. (this will now drive my sister crazy because she knows all my doll's names).
Is it me - or are we feeling the Christmas spirit these days?

I think it's okay to name your baby after a doll....Hubs wanted to name the Princess 'Alice'....after the fabulous nurse at my OB's office....but I used to have a dog named Alice, and I don't think that naming a baby after a dog is such a good thing!
SciFi Dad was SO happy when he found that for you! He had that giddy look on his face, at first, I honestly thought he wanted to bring it home for himself!
As a teacher, I just want to say that those types of cards were my favourite! Forget the gifts, just give me a homemade card and I was happier than ever!!! So cute!
Those cards to the teachers are just precious! It's nice that he notices different things about each one.
