Merry Christmas and stuff!!

First off, I'd like to wish everyone a very happy new year and I hope that everyone had a great Christmas. It was relatively quiet in the Nichols household...actually it was VERY quiet. We had biscuits and gravy, opened presents, and I can't remember what else we did but it was very relaxing. I am currently taking down all the decorations and trying to finish cleaning the guest room. :s 

I am 37 weeks along and am getting anxious to meet the little person inside of me. He is always moving and causing me to have heart burn/indigestion but only at night so I can't really complain. The baby's room has yet to be finished but I have washed all the baby clothing. 

Maya graduated from Intermediate Education class...yay! Which basically means that she listens to us. :) Haha, she can do lots of things...sit stay, lay stay, stand stay, heeling, waiting at the door, etc. It's been really fun taking her to these classes. It lets her interact with other dogs and people. She has learned to not jump on people (for the most part) and that she has to sit if she wants loving! Her next class is the advanced education class. It should be fun. 

36 weeks

Had my lovely weekly appointment today. I got checked and then tested for StreptB. I am 1.5 cm dialated. I got all excited about it til I found out that was normal and I could be at 1.5 cm for awhile...thrilling. So we'll see. I haven't been feeling any contractions or Braxton Hicks yet. The doctor says that the baby is of average weight...6 or 7 lbs...yay! No 10lb-er here, that excites me. For the past couple of days he's been up in my ribs having a field day. Other than all that, things are just plain, flat-out normal. I'm still awaiting that "nesting" phase. Perhaps during the Christmas break. Needless to say, I'm really excited to be getting closer to meeting the little man that keeps kicking the snot out of me!! I'm anxious to see who/what he looks like (even though he will change a gazillion times in the first couple of months). Still curious. Pictures of me and the weird cat, Raisin.
