Christmas Program from Kristi M on Vimeo.
Colin had his first Christmas program last night. The kids did a great job singing their songs and Colin really enjoyed performing for everyone - possibly too much :) Here is a video of all the kids singing together. Colin is towards the left in a red sweater on the 3rd row. Look for the kid jumping ... that should be him :)
We told Colin yesterday that we were expecting. He totally doesn't get it yet. However we did ask if he wanted a baby boy or a baby girl. He said a boy. I asked what his name should be. He proudly exclaimed: OLD MCDONALD Mommy!!! While we won't be sharing names this time around, it is safe to say it won't be Old McDonald :)
Weekly update!
How far along?: 10 weeks, 2 days
Weight gain/loss: again haven't weighed myself lately
Symptoms: still feeling sick constantly
Gender: I've been feeling like its a boy lately
Sleep?: some nights are better than others :)
Best moment this week?: best and worst is continuing to tell people that we are pregnant. I've been both happy and {truthfully} disappointed in how someone have seemed to take the news. such is life, I guess.
Movement: I feel some flutters/cramping but I know it's too early to feel the baby.
Food cravings/aversions: no real cravings yet but still food typically doesn't sound very good
What I miss?: my motivation :)
What I am looking forward to?: the end of the first trimester
Milestones:
Size of Baby: a kumquat
What I’m nervous about: what if I stay sick longer than the first trimester.

Perhaps you read on my Project 365 blog but my laptop is experiencing some problems, so blogging has taken a back seat until either I'm at work (like now!) or we decide what laptop to purchase.
Nothing major to report. Just all trying to stay (or get!) healthy and warm. December made its grand entrance by dumping a bunch of snow in our laps. Colin loves it! I think it's pretty but could do without it until its a little closer to Christmas.
Colin is really getting into the Christmas season. You can tell they've been focusing on it at school for quite some time. I can't wait to start putting up Christmas decorations. Hopefully if we are all feeling well enough, we will do that this weekend.
Mike's "new" job is going well. Keeping him really busy but he's enjoying the challenges and has really taken to his new role. A little stressed at times but we are incredibly proud of all the hard work he's been doing.
Colin is doing well. He loves school and wishes he could go daily. He continues to amaze us (and his teachers!) by how smart he is. The other night we were reading a book and he pointed at the word "red" and started sounding out each letter. He goes "red Mommy that spells red. right Mommy?" I can tell we are getting closer and closer to the wonderful age of 3. He's beginning to get an attitude and learning to manipulate. The other day I said he needed to sit in time out and he defiantly goes "No!" I explained that I wasn't asking him if he wanted to go to time out but that XXX (can't remember what he did) wasn't very nice and he needed to sit in time out. He goes "I sit HERE. no time out corner." Or he is starting the pouty lip when he doesn't get his way, saying "I ask Daddy" and mastering the stall tactics at bedtime. All and all we've been so blessed by how good he's been that this bouts of 'naughtyness' seem so out of character. So although at times it's trying, we try to remind ourselves that its a phase and it shall pass ... eventually :)
So I think that about sums things up. Hopefully will be posting soon with pictures!
