So Christmas is next week! I can't wait; it is one of my favorite holidays, and this year, my grandmother (Oma), her sister (Tante Lisa), and my Uncle Erich will be joining us in Virginia. This year, my little sister Krystal is hosting; it will be her first time in her home (since it is just down the street from my parents, it is not too far for us to travel from my parents!).
Starting with this trip, Elijah will be back and forth from South Carolina until after the New Years. We head down on the 21st, he comes back to SC on the 26th, comes back up to VA on the 30th, heads back to SC on the 2nd, just to return to VA on the 6th. We go home to SC on the 9th. Whew! That is a lot of driving for him, but we get to celebrate Christmas and New Years' with my family. Nicole is home from Iraq, and my brother Keith will be home from San Diego... so lots of quality time!
The biggest question right now for me is if I am going to leave Goober with my parents during the small stretch from Christmas to New Years' and come back to South Carolina with Elijah. I can work on getting the house ready for baby boy #2, get in an OB appointment, and spend time with the husband. I just can't decide. Thankfully, I have over a week to make such a difficult decision; it will be the first nights I will be apart from my baby. I know he will be in good hands, but it still won't be with me. I'm his mommy... I don't want to be apart from him.
Well, hopefully, in the next post I will write letters to Goober and his little brother, so that way when I finally get their baby books up and going, I can just copy...
For now,
E
