My counter after the Cookie Swap and other happenings

The Wives of the WBAMC Surgery Department had a cookie swap today....think we have enough cookies for the 3 of us (Benjamin counts) now? :-)

My 22 week baby Benjamin Bump!  He's getting a little big...He is also quite the acrobat...kicking and rolling all over the place.  The other day he was jumping on mommy's bladder, which was not mommy's preference. However, we had our most recent appointment yesterday and everything looks good so far, so we are so grateful for a healthy baby!  Next up...glucose test!









What else have we been up to?

My dad was able to come an visit us the week before Thanksgiving, and we loved taking him to our favorite restaurants and showing him around Ft. Bliss!

We put up our Christmas Tree...

 And I made curtains for the living room...

Other than that, lots of busyness!  Alain has had his hardest rotation thus far these last two months, and he is finally on the homestretch, with just a week and a half until Christmas vacation.  He was also in San Antonio for 4 days, taking an Advanced Trauma Life Support class.  He did so well that they asked him to come back and train as an instructor!  I was very proud of him (and I was very glad when he came home!)  Work hasn't left him with a lot of time for any extra activities, so we are looking forward to the week long break.  We will be traveling to L.A. for Christmas, to be with the Abellada family. Next up for him are several important exams in January, so please be praying for him!

As for me, I've had 3 Christmas parties this week!  Tonight will be my favorite with our care group :-)  Next week I will be traveling to Ohio for the wedding of Jonathan Blair and my old roomie Laura Schmucker...can't wait!  My parents will be meeting me there to spend the weekend, so I'm so excited to get some Christmas time with them!
