Happy New Year!!! 

Dave, Adia and I spent our New Years Eve at a friends place, eating tons of good food (chips, taco dip, sweet and sour kielbasa (my favorite), Special Snack - which looks to be just saltines and chocolate! - and a chocolate and vanilla pudding.) playing Wii Pictionary and Family Feud and just generally having an amazing time.
Adia, for the first time, saw the ball drop and gave her Daddy a kiss on the cheek to celebrate. 

We have been working this week on moving our bedrooms around, slowly getting ready for our sons appearance. Adia has her own bedroom now, which is a HUGE deal for us all. I've shared sleep with her since the day she was born! She is very excited though. We've spent the last few days decorating her room, which will be very "her". I will post pictures once everything is settled. My husband and I (and eventually the baby) are taking my old craft room as a bedroom, and then the room that we all sleep in now will be a playroom for the children, and a craft room for me. I'm also taking the opportunity to redo my kitchen and HOPEFULLY even paint. I've been planning on painting my kitchen for the last three years - I even have all the paint - but it just hasn't gotten done yet. Hopefully before little man makes his appearance. But I'm not going to hold my breath - partly because being in the third trimester I definitely have diminished lung capacity.

Our kittens are doing great. Nod (our only female kitten), at the moment, is cuddled right up next to Dave, Blinkin' is attacking Dave's feet, and Winkin', our handicapped kitten who was born with FCK syndrome is sleeping quite soundly. We were really worried about Winkin' for a while. Around Christmas he was sleeping all the time, while his siblings were out playing, fighting, and nursing Leela (momma cat), and we noticed Leela refused to let him eat very much. She would give him food, but just enough to survive. It was really hard to watch, and we just weren't sure what we should do about it. We got in touch with a some people who were going to help us out, with research, etc. but by the day after Christmas Winkin' was doing much better. We've even begun to notice his chest is rounding out, and he is insanely rambunctious now. He is quite the fighter. He pulled through that all on his own. It was awesome to see.

I hope everyone has a great year!
