Merry Christmas

I just wanted to take a minute to say Merry Christmas if you still actually bother checking our blog.  I don't blame you if you don't, it isn't like we update very often.  This last year has been busy for us, Aaron has been working away and I have been taking care of things at home.  Now we are just trying to prepare for our new arrival that should be here in the next 6 weeks sometime.  I am amazed at how much more quickly this pregnancy has gone than the last one.  I am good and sick of being pregnant already, but I guess there isn't much I can do about it.  I told Aaron I wanted a catheter, three days sleep and a crane to lift my oversized pregnant booty up for Christmas.  He didn't take my request seriously.  Looks like someone is going to get coal for Christmas.

Ethan has just been growing and becoming more independent.  Yesterday I walked into the bathroom to find him stripped down to his underwear scrubbing himself with a wet toothbrush.  He was so proud of himself and told us he was getting himself all clean.  It is funny how kids perceive things.  I wish I could freeze time and keep him from getting older.  He also tells Aaron that he is an old man, but mommy is new and is not old.  He is pretty excited to be a big brother so hopefully the transition from one to two will not be too horrible.  He has started drawing actual pictures lately as well which I can't get enough of.  This is a picture he drew of the two of us.  Apparently the big blob at the top is me and those aren't legs, those are tentacles.  The little happy cute blob is Ethan.
