So Blessed

Christmas is already such a generous time of year. A time when people think of others first and truly enjoy receiving a card from a friend, sending a surprise package in the mail or baking cookies for people at work. Tim and I love the holiday season. We look forward to getting the tree, listening to carols, drinking hot chocolate and seeing all the stores decorated. Most of all I love how it's impossible not to stop and pause from your busy life and just feel blessed. This year I have been particularly touched by how generous people have been to Hannah. I can't help but get emotional when I think of how loved she already is. I have also learned that the saying "a girl can never have enough closet space" applies even before birth. Hannah's wardrobe these days is really something. She has far more closet space than Tim and she's starting to give me a run for my money. Today Tim and I went to a shower thrown by the other psychologists in my district. It was a low key gathering after work at one of their homes and Tim's first official baby shower. All the excitement is really making us anxious to meet her. Also, I've always said I wanted both genders (and I still do), but I can't help but think I really need to have another girl someday or a lot of nieces because there is just so much cute stuff I want to be able to pass on to someone. But, before I get ahead of myself with baby #2, we are really trying to take this time to enjoy the last 33 days (who's counting?). Please keep us in your prayers as we inch closer daily and we promise to text at the first sight of any action!
