Bad Blogger

Wow! I am such a bad blogger! I am so sorry to all of my loyal (all five of you) followers! I promise to try to be better at blogging, especially when Baby Higgins arrives! I might even give out the blog address for those who would be interested in reading all about the baby!

So for today I'll just post about the past two months! Sorry no pictures (unless I get motivated and upload some) just a bunch of random thoughts from this preggo!

*Back in October my Grandpa Keimig passed away. I was able to spend some time with him the weekend before (even though he wasn't responsive) and am so thankful for my loving and supportive husband for letting me go. I had such a special bond with Grandpa. After Grandma passed away in 2005 I was fortunate enough to find the BEST job ever at St. Paul School because of Grandpa K. He saw the opening in the church bulletin and told my Dad that I should apply. Thanks Grandpa! We bonded even more that first year as I stopped by to visit him, take him to church and dinner on Saturday nights, and other fun events. Grandpa was able to be at our wedding in June and I even got to dance with him in his wheelchair. Another memory I will always cherish!

*I have a new nephew! Jon and Tiffany had Topher Jon on October 14th. I was able to be there (in the waiting room) when he arrived. I was still "home" after Grandpa's funeral and we got a call at midnight. Mom took off with Tiffany's parents right away and I waited for Dad to get off work. She was in labor all day but he arrived shortly after Dad and I got there (around 9 pm). He is an absolute doll and I love him so much already! He had to stay in the NICU for a few days because they both had fevers at birth, but he is doing great now!

*I traveled to Denver, Colorado last weekend with Jeanie, Evie, and Dan and Carol for our good friend Amy's wedding. It was such a fun roadtrip! We were in the car 28 plus hours total (there and back) but we sure had fun! Good thing for the dvd player in the car. Congrats to Amy and Joe!

*I am officially 18 weeks (even though the nurse told me I was a bit further along...woohooo) today! I can't believe we are almost to our halfway point. I go in three weeks for my ultrasound to see if Baby Higgins is a boy or a girl. Any guesses???? I am still feeling great. I'm not as tired and haven't really had any more morning sickness (not that I really had any to begin with).

*I love Thanksgiving and Christmas! My two favorite holidays of the year are near! I don't know what it is about these two holidays, but I love love love them! We are with Brian's family for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve this year and then with my family on Christmas Day/Weekend. The radio stations are already playing Christmas music (but I'm really okay with it)!


I'll be back to regular blogging soon!
