15 weeks today

Apologies for the long blogging lag... there doesn't seem to be too much to write about. Brian and I have both been getting settled into both of your jobs, starting to become more familiar with the city, and starting to get used to the idea that we will not be seeing any snow except for on the tops of the nearby mountains.

The holidays are coming up and we are looking forward to spending some time with my family. My Mom and Faby are both going to for sure be spending Christmas with us, and hopefully my Dad will be able to make it after all. The owners of his hotel have been talking about opening at the beginning of January, which would make a two week vacation to the U.S. impossible to pull off. We're hoping they change their minds, but for now, are planning it this way. The Christmas tree is up, and Brian and I both will have a couple of days off after Christmas, when we plan to go to the Grand Canyon.

The pregnancy is progressing well. I'm 15 weeks as of today, and am basically in the clear for morning sickness. We've already had our first two ultrasounds and everything is looking good. We have our anatomy ultrasounds scheduled for December 28th, where we will hopefully be able to find out the sex (ad narrow down that list of names). All of a sudden, sometime during the weekend, my body decided to switch from pudgy-stomach mode to full on pregnancy belly, so I leave you with a picture of my pregnant self.
