And one more thing...

Oh, and just one more thing. I really, really miss my family. It just hit me tonight for some reason. I haven't seen them for a long, long time. None of them have seen me pregnant, except in pictures, and none of them will. I know I'm just feeling sorry for myself, but right now I think I would give up quite a bit to be in my parents' living room, surrounded by the laughter and craziness of my entire family together. I long for a hug from my dad. I wish to compare bellies with my pregnant little sister. I would love to be laying on the couch with my head next to my big sister's lap, watching a chick flick while she brushes my hair-it's a long running tradition and can make me feel like falling asleep just about every time. I would love to hear Kevin and my little brother and brothers in law laughing as they take each other on in video game land. I can't imagine how happy I would be to feel the precious litte arms of my nephews surrounding my neck in a big hug. I wish I could be eating some of my mom's delcious home cooking and have a nice, long chat with her. Man, I just miss them. I just love them so much. Sometimes I am so jealous of people that live next to their families and see them all of the time. I wouldn't move, and I love living here, but I just miss them.

I love you guys. I think I'm soon going to be counting down the days until Christmas. I can't wait until we are all together again.

And now my Stacy Pity Party will end. I think I'll go take a nice, hot shower, have a glass of chocolate milk, snuggle up to my husband, and go to sleep.
