I know, I know...

...it's high time I updated my blog, right? Sorry, I know my posts have been few and far between lately--I will try and work on that! Here's what's been going on with the Frys:

We had a great Christmas visiting my family, and Dan's parents came to our house for New Year's. We had a blast, and Toby was really spoiled by all of his grandparents!

I am still teaching my prenatal water aerobics class, but due to low turnout, we will be cancelling the class after the end of the month. It's been fun teaching, but to be honest, I'm ready for a break. I'm looking forward to working out at the gym next to my house again, where I don't have the 1/2 hour commute each way.

Do you make New Year's Resolutions? I don't usually, but if I have one this year, it is to get organized! I'm not talking crazy OCD organization--just any kind of organization would be great! I have jillions of papers to sort and file or shred, and my closets are full of junk! My scrapbooking and quilt supplies have been thrown in boxes to be sorted...later. I will start slow, but want to quasi-organize all of this stuff in the next couple of months! Oh, and I would like to file taxes early this year (but that goes back to the whole sorting papers thing, so we'll see).

I am more than half way through my pregnancy--woohoo! I've been feeling great (other than big), and recently went in for my ultrasound. By the way, I am having another boy! I am so excited for Toby--he'll have a brother to play (and fight) with.

Since I've been pregnant before, I haven't needed to buy much this time around--especially since my sisters-in-law lent me a bunch of their maternity clothes. I have splurged on a couple of items, though, and I only wish I had them when I was pregnant with Toby! The first is the BellaBand (www.ingridandisabel.com). I started this pregnancy slightly smaller than I did when I was pregnant with Toby, so my maternity pants are all a little big. This band fits on top of my pants, holding them up--what a lifesaver, and it's pretty comfortable! I bought one in black, and am thinking of getting a white one as well. The other huge help has been the Boppy Total Boppy Pillow (www.target.com). It is so hard to find a comfortable sleeping position, but this pillow is awesome! It came with a warning--"Your husband will try and steal it," and they're right! Actually, I think Dan gets a little jealous of it, poor guy! I'm wrapped around the pillow all night long! I've also ordered a new maternity swimsuit--the one I had with Toby is really worn out, and my pre-pregnancy suit is not covering as much anymore! I do still plan to swim, even though I won't be teaching my class anymore.

I'll try and update my blog more often so I don't write a book every time I post! Time to catch up on my blog reading, now--I'm nearly as far behind in that as I was in writing here!

P.S. Thanks, Dawn, for updating my blog background again, and for adding the baby countdown! You are awesome!
