Tacky Christmas Sweater Party 2010 @ the O'Neill Household
sweet friends.
White Elephant Party 2010 at our house. Look at my awesome prize! :)
We hosted Christmas Eve Dinner at our house and we love having our home filled with people!
Christmas Morning 2010...PJ's, Presents, & Pancakes (breakfast).
A new tradition we started! Our final Christmas just the two of us!
New Year's was spent at one of our friend's house and we rang in the New Year with some delish Apple Cider and then headed home cause I was pooped! We had a great time celebrating with such sweet friends and their house full of kids! I felt right at home with all the silliness...made me miss my nephews just that much more and got us both excited about the years to come! 2011 is an exciting/challenging year for us, but in the words of my sweet husband "I'm excited about us". Life is the best it's ever been, and even with the challenges to come I know we will continue to grow together, as a family.
And last but not least..as of yesterday, I'm in the 2nd trimester!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 14 Weeks
Size of baby: A Lemon
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 3 pounds, which I find is so crazy considering how much my belly is poking out!
Maternity Clothes: I have two pairs of Maternity Jeans that are like heaven right now!
Gender: Can't wait to find out this month! :)
Movement: Not yet...
Sleep: Ugh, averaging about 6 hours per week. No joke. I am miserable. I took Unisom for the first 2 months of my pregnancy and decided to come off of it since my morning sickness has decreased. I didn't realize how much it was affecting my body until I decided to try to go to sleep without it. I'm still holding strong by not taking it, but it has been pure exhausting!
What I miss: Feeling cute??
Cravings: Pickles and Apples!
Symptoms: Gagging all the time (embarassing) and lack of sleep.
Best Moment this week: Knowing that in 2011, I'm going to be a MOM!
Happy 2011! May your year be blessed!

Oh Shannon, I am so glad I stumbled upon your blog last summer. :) Your Alaskan holidays with Army Family and your constant cheerful attitude definitely help soothe some of the uneasiness I get about moving a zillion miles away.
Also, congrats to you and Greg on your sweet little one! Such exciting news. :) I'll be praying that your second trimester is a bit more restful.
Happy New Year, friend!
