i'm dreaming of a san fran xmas

i'm so glad i was able to spend christmas with my whole immediate family this year! and in san fransisco? you can't beat that. we had a blast. i finally told my siblings that i'm pregnant, and now i'm relieved to not be carrying around that secret!! :) i'm also glad that now everyone knows, i can start blogging about the wonderful things that are happening with my body everyday- things like crying-spells out of nowhere, throwing up or feeling nauseous at all times, sleeping 22 hours a day... you know, the joys that every woman wishes she could endure everyday of her life. :) actually, it's going to be SOOOO worth it in the end, so it's a mixed feeling of frustration and joy. i spend 100% of my time thinking about this baby. i'm a woman, so naturally i can think of other things at the same time (haha!), but it has clearly damaged my brain cells so far. i have spelled my name wrong, and claimed it was 2006, both last week. yes, babies take your brain cells. :) 1/3 of the time i'm excited and thinking of names and nursery themes, 1/3 of the time i'm worried that something will go wrong, and 1/3 of the time i'm having a mini panic attack at the thought that i'll have a child in less than a year. :) am i strange or do all parents go through those cycles?

i'll post more on my pregnancy later, i may actually start a pregnancy blog- i've thought about so much i'd like to write about. 2009 will be a BUSY year for the guice family!

here are some pictures from our trip- we saw the golden gate bridge, we went to muir woods and walked through a redwood forest, and spent christmas night at nana's place in walnut creek- she rented a building for us and it worked out perfectly! they had christmas pinatas set up for the kids- they loved it so much. it was a great time, and we were sorry to leave, but the real world of work and bills must go on! :)

I am SO excited that you are pregnant! That is one thing I really like about blogging is that you can write down what you're thinking. love you!

I remember all those feelings too, when I was pregnant with you. Physically, it sucks until the bitter end-- and then you forget all about any of it as the most wonderful miracle is laid in your arms, all curled up, snuggling against you, right before your very eyes. It's definitely worth it. Just take a look at your pics!
