Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year Every One!!!
2008 has been a very exciting year. This year has had alot of challenges and excitements. Challenges come in many shapes and sizes. This year I was presented with the opportunity to change jobs! I am really enjoying that new change in my life. Its presenting me with new challenges in my career, it was a very welcomed changed. Another challenge was Chris' grandfather, papa Metz's passing. I know the whole Zerr family is looking forward to 2009 to start the year off with a clean slate. A third challenge this year was my mom's surgery. She is well on her way to recovery and attaining her goal weight.
Our exciting news this year of course is our pregnancy. That is giving us a whole new reason to look forward to 2009 and meeting our little guy! We get to share our excitement with our best friends Brian and Amanda who will also be having a little guy in March as well. She has been presented with a new challenge. She has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes which will make her last few months a little more challenging. Several of the people that I have known with the condition end up having their babies several weeks before the due date. That would be kind of funny if that happens with her. We could all get to meet Gabe before Kase, or who knows they might even share the same brithday. That would be an interesting 2009 twist.
Thank you all for your love and support during 2008 and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Wishing you all the very best in 2009!

Baby Kase Update!

Howdy!  Well today was a very fun day. It was my 28th birthday.  I had a regular doctor check up. I got to hear the babies heart beat today which was a really nice present for my birthday.  My doctor said that everything was going very well and that I gained some weight this month. She said that it was normal and on course.  I chalked it up to Thanksgiving dinner.  I also had to do the glucose test today.  It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The worst part of it all is that the drink tastes like orange soda.  I hate orange soda. They served it very cold so it made it a little bit more palatable but I tried to chug it as fast as I could.  Then I had to wait an hour and have blood drawn.  Next week I should find out the results. They said they'd only call if something was wrong so here's to not hearing from the doctor until Jan 15th (which is my next appointment). 

After my appointment we went to celebrate my birthday. Chris and I went to a restaurant called the Roaring Fork. It was very good.  I really enjoyed my steak and had Green Chili Mac & Cheese. I didn't order dessert because I had enough sweets for the day with the Glucose test. 

Well I wanted to wish every one a Merry almost Christmas.  Remember there is only 1 weekend of shopping left. Good luck!
