Peyton's Room: Update
Austin and I have been finishing up Peyton's nursery little bits at a time and I'm happy to say, I think we're pretty much done! We're just waiting on her glider (that her Grammy and Papa, Austin's parents, bought for her) to get here. I spent most of this past weekend washing all of her clothes, sheets, blankets, and washcloths. I packed my hospital bag and her baby bag. Austin installed her carseat in our car and even packed himself a "Daddy bag" :). I'd say we're ready for her!

Christmas 2009
We had a great Christmas this year, even though it got off to a little bit of a rocky start (with the robbery and such). We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my family in Orlando, and Christmas day and the rest of the weekend with Austin's family in Jacksonville. We were spoiled by our families (what's better?! :)) and had a great time enjoying quality time with one another. The topic of every conversation this year was how next year, and every year after that, is going to be SOO different...Peyton will be here! :) It was a really exciting realization. We'll all be watching HER open gifts next year, and taking HER picture in front of the tree. It's still so surreal!
After a fun packed long holiday weekend, we came back home that Sunday and settled back into "reality mode". That is so hard to snap out of after having such a great time off. It stinks really. lol.
Our New Year's was pretty uneventful. It was going to be just Austin and I, as we are not going to be going out of town anymore since Miss Peyton's arrival is so close, but Austin's brother and cousin decided they wanted to come visit :). We had fun just hanging out with them and visiting. The four of us had every intention of staying up to watch the ball drop. We even tried playing Monopoly..which you know goes on FOREVER! But around 11:15, we all decided we couldn't hold our eyes open any longer and went to bed. We're such party animals! lol.
I've been back to work for a week and a half now, and no more robberies! (They still have yet to catch the guy, and last week he robbed another bank!) The joke now b/w Austin and I is, if I can get through 1 day and not get robbed, it's a success. I'm glad we can laugh about it, no reason for me to live in fear everyday. One excellent result from that whole mess is, our branch has a guard all day, every day. Makes me feel 100% better! I've been keeping busy with branch closure procedures, and will continue up until Peyton comes or we close, whichever comes first!

December 21st. Just another normal day at work, nothing special, or so I thought.
Another teller and I were behind the teller line talking, neither of us had a customer, and she then turns to me and whispers, "Michelle, that guy looks like the robber!". (Now, let me tell you that several of our regular male customers that come in on a frequent basis, look like our lovely robber, and we had been saying "Ah, that guy looks like him!" several times...) I look up to see for myself and crap, it really does look like him. There we stand, waiting. The man proceeds to my window and, would you believe it, PASSES ME ANOTHER HOLD UP NOTE!!! IT WAS HIM, AGAIN!!! So, me, being the pro that I am now, give him the money in my top drawer as he requested. Diane meanwhile was watching the entire time and pushed her hold up alarm. I gave the guy the dye pack too (take that you jerk!) and he walks out just as if he had just cashed a check. I waited for him to get in his car and then went to go lock the front door...on my way back, I tripped and fell...ON MY STOMACH! Wonderful. I get up, I'm OK, at least I don't feel hurt. Cops get there, detectives get there, I go through the same process as the last time. (Geez, it's still weird to say that) I decided that even though I felt fine that it would be good to stop by my doctor just to make sure everything was OK, for my peace of mind. Austin and I end up going to the hospital because my doctors office doesn't have sonogram equipment. That little "just a sonogram" turned into me having to stay the night because it turned out that I was having some small contractions! (that I was NOT feeling at all!) I got to experience a little of what the labor process will be like, with getting an IV (NOT FUN!) and being hooked up to monitors. Long story short, the contractions stopped, Peyton and I were OK, and Austin and I got to leave the next morning.
I never want to get robbed again!!

Bullet Style
I decided to do this update in bullet points...much quicker, since my desire to update is severely diminishing
*Last Wednesday- Pretty exciting day to say the least. My branch got robbed, and you guessed it, I was the lucky teller that the robber chose. Yippee. It was the most unbelievable realization, it happened so fast I had no time to panic, I actually found myself asking myself "Seriously!?!?" Long story short, he was in and out in like 5 minutes (no one else in the branch even knew that I was robbed) and no one was hurt. They still have yet to catch him even though he wore no disguise!
*Sunday- Austin and I had our Childbirth Class. I thought Austin would leave that class scared to death, or at least scarred by some of the details that he would find out (haha), but he told me himself that he really enjoyed it and had a good time! Who knew?! I think it helped that we had a pretty cool teacher (who we found out was from Jax! Small world...) and a really fun class. We both got alot out of it and I'm really glad we did it, even though the thought of labor still freaks me out. Anyone want to do that part for me?? ;)
That night we went to our church's Christmas presentation. We have been getting to know a couple our age that live across the street from us and had invited them to come with us, and they did. I think they really enjoyed it, I know we did!
*This week- My doctor's office finally got back with me on my three hour glucose test results....and I am GOOD :) No gestational diabetes! Yay!
Work is nothing more than packing up retention and paperwork and cleaning out EVERYTHING (since we're closing...did I ever mention that?? If not, yeah, come January 29th, my branch will be closed. Fun times!). That's basically all my life will consist of at work until I have Peyton. Whoohoo.
*Pregnancy-wise- Three words: I am R-E-A-D-Y. I've had a great pregnancy so far, so I can't really complain...wait, yes I can, and I will. As of about two weeks ago, I'm just down right miserable. Sleep is torture and it's so sad because it's something I once looked forward to, lol. My hips hurt almost daily and there's nothing I can do (atleast not that I have found) to make the pain/achiness go away. I have been blessed enough to not have anything swell, until a few days ago. My poor beautiful tootsies have started to be slightly poofy at times :(. I've always been warm natured, but now the preggo hormones have turned up the thermostat! That was my rant. I just needed to get it all out :)
I've found myself saying that even though we don't have all the baby items we need, I would be perfectly fine if Miss Peyton decided to come now, lol. Austin and I are just so excited to be able to hold her and to see who she looks like!!
*This weekend- We're going to finish our Christmas present shopping Saturday and on Sunday we have our tour of the hospital's Labor and Delivery!! I am REALLY excited about that!! :)

Question for the Mommies out there
What is every one's take on infant vaccinations, as far as- all at one time or a few at a time?
I seem to be leaning towards the side of spreading them out....so that Peyton doesn't get like 5 at a time (while she is so little). If you did space them out, were your doctors acceptable of this or did you seem to meet some resistance?
I've got to pick a pediatrician, and it's hard. Especially when you're in a city that you did not grow up in/are not that familiar with. The few people that I know are fellow employees that either had their kids awhile ago or don't have any at all. I know it's good to interview your picks, but with my work schedule and the hectic-ness of the rest of the year (and my pregnancy!!) I don't think I'll have time!! I'm thinking about just picking one, so at least that's out of the way and then just seeing how it goes from there....any suggestions??
