Shhh... He Might Hear You

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! We went to three different houses and it was nice to see everyone. Donna even got to feel Beckham move for the very first time. He was a little shy at first, but then he rolled around for her.

Saturday Joshua, Cherie' and I set up the Christmas tree and decorated the house. We also watched Elf about a million times! We're just a little obsessed with that movie. That's all. Anyway, every year Joshua and I take a picture in front of our tree so here's our 2008 tree pic!

Monday, one of the Marine wives gave us a gift bag with some adorable sleepers in it for Beckham. And yesterday, another Marine wife gave us a huge bag full of clothes that her son has outgrown. The ladies around here are truly amazing :).

Beckham is growing more and more every week. This week he is now able to hear and react to sounds outside the womb. So exciting! Now I know he actually hears Daddy when he sings to him. I can tell he's really growing (well, at least I am!) because my shirts are beginning to be too short around my stomach and I can no longer see under my belly! I think I've really stretched over these last couple of weeks. Speaking of stretching, my tummy is really oily in my new Belly Pic this week because I had just put some cocoa butter on. Just in case you're wondering ;).

I've finally been starting to get some real cravings which is a terrible thing for me. As much weight as I've already gained, watch out because I'll really start loading on the pounds now that I crave things. Yesterday I was craving pizza so bad that I had Joshua run to the store to buy me a frozen one, and today I had to make a stop at the doughnut shop after work. Oh boy, I wish I craved things like pickles and carrots.
