Time flies

Time flies when a baby is growing in you.
Tonight I'm redecorating the Christmas tree...long story. We also went grocery shopping for our first house party, Saturday. I'm so excited! We're going to have a full house, and it'll be the first time a lot of our family will see our house. Marcus has the colorful lights hanging outside, I have the mantel decorated and getting the tree decorated. All that's left are the poinsettias, the drinks, the music and the people. I wounder how baby will feel hearing all the sounds?
I've had both my baby showers and we got some great things. Of course, everyone bought clothes so I think he has enough for every day of the first year. Now I just have to send the Thank yous. I think the noise soothes him b/c at both showers he did not move the way he usually does. He's really calm, and usually on my bladder.
Christmas is coming up, and we still haven't bought all the gifts. We have New Year to think about, which we still don't have plans for. Marcus will be leaving for China shortly after, and he'll be here 10 days later waiting for the little one. ALL OF THIS IN SEVEN WEEKS.
How did we get here? Who knew we'd be in this position? Just over a year ago we were getting married. Nine months ago we bought a house and a car. Wow, how far we've gotten! Please hand me a clock to turn back.
