The Holiday Season

This holiday season is different than usual. For the first time in years, I feel like decorating, listening to Christmas carols, and celebrating. Maybe it is the baby?

At the same time, an old friend came to visit from out of town and wanted to visit to "touch my belly." I wanted to scream and run away. Belly touching has been on a case-by-case basis. If I get a good vibe, it is okay. This is the second good friend who hasn't had a good vibe. I wouldn't have guessed this would be my reaction, and it puzzles me.

Baby arrival time is getting close, and I'm eager to meet the little one. I'm also eager to be able to put on my shoes without it turning into an event.

So here's to the holiday season and family and friends. Next year there will be a little one to help celebrate.
