This year can't be over quick enough. I don't want to deal with any more disappointments of any magnitude. I'm spending New Years Eve alone since Husband has to work, so I'm eating fried green beans and making chicken and dumplings and having a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon. Also, it turns out that even though I still hate apple juice, I can't get enough apple cider. I'm trying the red grape cider but it doesn't make my mouth as happy as the apple. I'm jonesing for more! I can't tell if Baby Bear likes it or not. There's a lot of movement going on in there and I can't tell if it's a happy dance or a "get this crap out of here" fit. Speaking of movement, our baby did give me a bit of a panic yesterday. Either I didn't notice it when it was going on or the baby was saving it all up for when I laid down for bed. I did get a happy surprise to end the year with at least, I can feel the movements on the outside of my body now with my hand. There were a couple of good turns last night, but every time I put Mike's hand on me it stopped. I felt bad but at the rate it's kept up since then, I think there will be plenty of opportunities for him to feel his little kung fu dragon.
