Mira's 3-year check up; Week 23

I had my Week 23 check up on Monday. A little disappointing... and not because of anything bad, but just because I didn't get an ultrasound today, so no picture of Baby Boy to post this time. :( The OB just checked the heartbeat and that was it. His heartbeat was loud and strong, so good sign! :)

Aside from the visit, this month I've really started to feel Baby Boy moving around a lot. Mark was finally able to feel him earlier this week. Mira has yet to feel him. He's pretty active at night, just like his Papa and sister. As for me, my belly button is pretty flush and should be popping out any day. My allergy symptoms have improved significantly so I'm feeling much better, aside from feeling huge.

Christmas shopping has kicked in and I met Emma at The Grove last weekend for shopping and dinner. After that experience I've decided to avoid crowded malls as much as possible since my belly had accidentally brushed up against a couple of rear ends... LOL.

Mira had her 3-year check up early last month. She had 2 shots - Hep A and Flu. After the 1st shot, it was difficult to get the 2nd on in, but with a little distraction with a lollipop, it happened, although she was NOT happy. On the ride home, she said that her doctor was nice, but she didn't like the nurse lady, "that crazy lady, gave me shots..."

Christmas decorating was lots of fun this year with my little helper Mira. She loved putting up decorations and is so into the Christmas lights. She still bugs me to put up more decorations.

This past weekend we went to see Santa Clause at Pierce College in Woodland Hills. Mira wished for "an orange princess dress." So specific... wish me luck!

Next week we will be heading to San Jose to spend Christmas with the Garcia's at Mark's brother's house. Mira has lots of cousins her age on the Garcia side so should be lots of fun for her!

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays!
