From Gobble, Gobble to Ho Ho Ho

Well, though I didn't post last week (blame it in the turkey and sugar overload, followed by a day-long hike around DC with our Norwegian guest, I was tired. And as my energy level is not exactly what I expected, I've been doing the bare minimum.

Oh. Lack of energy. I was so ignorant to just how tiring growing a Truls Bobby would be. And I keep reading how one's energy returns in the second trimester. Any day now. I wouldn't mind a spurt. I'm starting to think my expectations may be a bit too high though.

So, today I'm posting two shots. One from last week, at week 16, and one this week, at week 17. Truls Bobby is growing! And so is my back porch. Lovely.

This weekend we picked up our wonderful, gigantic Christmas tree. Now, decorated and festive, it has claimed a large portion of our living room. And we love it! It stands over 9 feet tall. It's girth is, well, girthy.

Now, to get some presents wrapped and placed beneath it...

The photo on the left is obviously from last week. The one on the right is fresh, fresh, fresh.

(No, I've not been dipping into the Christmas goodies early.)
