It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

So, we kind of resolved the grumblings among my Husband's brother and Sister-In-Law. The only bad taste I left with in my mouth was when we walked them to their car and all of a sudden my Husband's brother started talking angrily about my diamond engagement ring. The story I heard from my Mother-In-Law was that she bought the diamond in Israel for my Father-In-Law to put in a ring with the family's birthstones. He apparently never wore the ring and supposedly they decided to gift the diamond for my engagement ring, ect. The story I got from my brother-in-law was that the diamond was "ripped from his father's ring even though he didn't want to give it up and he felt so hurt that any of the jewelery his mother had given to his father was given back because she'd just take that too. He apparently cried for days". Now, at this point he turned on me and stated that "you young lady better take care of that ring because if you don't, ect. ect.". Needless to say, the only man in my life even allowed to call me "young lady" is my OWN dad. Not anyone else. I know he's the same age as my dad but seriously, I'M 26!!!! My dad doesn't even call me that anymore. I'm an adult woman who is married and is having a baby! Not his daughter! I was so taken aback by the scolding that I didn't know what to say or do and unleashed once in the confines of my car with my Husband. Anyway, I didn't say anything to his brother, but Lord knows I wanted to!

On to happy news! So we have our new house on hold for us and we're packing up the one we're in now. It wasn't really feeling like Christmas to me so I had told my Husband that I was sad we weren't putting up a tree, ect. So, Hubby said we could put up our tree as long as we had the house more than half way packed up and in storage, which we do! So, my nieces and I put the tree up this morning and hung our ornaments and it looks so pretty! I even got a cute ornament of a pregnant bear next to a Christmas tree hung with pacifiers and bottles with pickles and ice cream beneath it. Next to the bear is a book where we got to personalize it by putting baby names in it. It's so cute! I have soooo much wrapping to do it isn't funny, but I figure I'll try to get it done today when my brother picks up the girls for the day. My poor Husband has been clueless on what to get me so I had to make up a Christmas list for him of things I'd like or want. I felt 5 again which added to the excitement. lol. This is the first Christmas that I'm actually looking forward to in a long time. God I love being pregnant I love being married and I love having my niece living with us to make it feel more like family and Christmasy!!!!

I also believe Santa has brought me an early gift this year...for the last week I THINK I've been feeling baby moving inside my tummy. It feels like someone's tickling me in there and it's not all the time. Only when I'm laying on my tummy or stretching or after eating a large meal. I haven't told anyone except my Husband. It doesn't really surprise me because I am really tuned into my body, especially my reproductive stuff. My lower belly is already hard and rounded and it doesn't feel like bloating or fat. So, yeah, that's the latest. God I love Christmas and family and everything about this pregnancy (minus the morning sickness I still have and the urge to pee all the time and the heartburn). God is so good!
