Wow...time flies. I can't believe it's been a week since I've blogged. It's been a busy week! My sister-in-law Chrystal came in last Tuesday and left today. She flew here from Connecticut to help us out with the baby. It was so nice having her here and she was a huge help. She was also fun to have around as company and I miss her a lot. I cried today when we dropped her off at the airport. Hopefully her and her husband will come back to visit us next July. Chris's other sister Cleta also visited us over the weekend. It was so nice to have family over this weekend, especially because the holidays are near. We put up the Christmas tree which was fun.

So...after complaining so much about the annoying parts of pregnancy, I have to write about a few positive things that I miss: 1) Being warm. Now that it's cold outside, I need the body heat and I don't have it!; 2) No headaches. I get migraine-type headaches monthly that last about a week. During pregnancy, I had NONE. This past...welcome back headaches!; 3) Strong nails. My manicurist told me today that my nails are dry and brittle. THANKS...I KNOW! I know it's going to take a while for my body to adjust back and get some hormonal balance, but I'm really glad I'm not pregnant anymore. I can shave and put lotion on my legs, bend down, drive, and get off my couch by myself. Guess what else I can do!? Drink alcohol and caffeine!! WOO HOO!! I had a glass of wine over the weekend and I'm back to having my morning cup of coffee. I had my first taste of Dr. Pepper today after 11 months..WHAT A TREAT!! I'm also excited because Chris and I are going to a Christmas party on Friday night and I can actually have a drink instead of standing around watching everyone else drink and dance, like I did at the 5 weddings I went to this year. I also bought myself a new pair of sexy, red high heels to wear to the party. I haven't worn heels in months! It's the little things in life, isn't it?

Naveen update: He gets cuter everyday. He's smiling more and is getting stronger everyday. He actually grips our fingers with his hands and his kick has got some serious strength. He kicked my still sore abdomen today...WOW. It was not pleasant.

Naveen had his first bath last Wednesday and his second bath today. Poor thing gets cold during them and I race to get them over with so I can get him warm again. I'm trying to perfect the bathing routine so it's quick but it's hard because his cute little neck is still floopy and I have to focus on lifting him so his neck doesn't flop around while also trying to get him nice and clean. And he's so good about the whole thing...he never cries during the baths. It's so cute. He's such a good baby. I don't know how I got so lucky...he sleeps through the night (or wakes up only once), doesn't cry during baths, and only cries for 3 things: food, dirty diaper, or needs sleep. He's spoiling me.

We took our holiday card picture over the weekend so look for the card in your mailbox soon! And as always...you can check out new pictures at www.naveendsa.com.
