Dallas Texas
The weekend of Kalli's Birthday we flew to Dallas Texas to (finally) visit my mom! Kalli, Bodie, Matt and I all flew on Frontier airlines. We left on Thursday Dec. 4th and flew through Denver. Our flight was about an hour delayed in Denver because of the snowy weather. We got to Dallas pretty late on Thursday night. Friday we went to visit my mom at her office in Colleyville and met all her co-workers. We had lunch with her at a yummy Mexican food restaurant called Gloria's. My mom's company has two cars that they loan out to their employees, so my was able to get the Cadillac Escalade for us to use for the weekend. That night we went to Bob's Steak and Chop House and had the best dinner! On Saturday the guys went golfing and the girls went shopping! Matt had such a great time golfing in Texas, he loved it there! We went to a bunch of fun stores and a really nice mall. Saturday night my mom took us all to a Dallas Mavericks game. It was a blast! After the game we hung out around the gorgeous American Airlines Amphitheater. The girls went to a yummy gelato place and the guys went to a Cigar Bar. Then on Sunday we went to eat lunch and went shopping a little bit more and then we had to catch our flight back to Sacramento. It was so great to finally see Dallas and see where my mom lives and works. We had such an awesome time and can't wait to go back!

Thanksgiving in Tahoe...
We went to Tahoe for Thanksgiving with the Kelley family. Gary, Marla, Chad, Jennie, Max, "Nick-is", David, Heather, Matt and I. We stayed at the Hyatt Grand Sierra Lodge. We had such a good time. We didn't do much. While we were there we got to go up to our friend Mike and Alana's house above Diamond Peak Ski resort. It was great to see them. The hotel we stayed at is time shares and we had two rooms that each had kitchens and two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We all cooked Thanksgiving Dinner in the rooms. It was a lot of fun.

Matt's shoulder surgery
So we just got the call from Matt's surgeon that he will be having arthroscopic shoulder surgery on Christmas Eve!!
Two years ago when Matt had the accident at the Porters swimming pool he sliced open his patela tendon (which was repaired with surgery immediatly after the accident) and dislocated his shoulder. Since then his shoulder has not been the same. It has not effected his golf game, but it is hard for him to throw a baseball or football and it pops in and out all the time.
About a month ago we found out that our health insurance is changing at the start of 2009 and Matt decided that we should take advantage of our current insurance, so he met with the surgeon that did his knee surgery and told him that if he could be fit in before the end of the year, to call us. Thankfully they had an opening for December 24th at 10:30 a.m.!
The recovery time is about three months (which is just before the baby is due). So it will work out perfectly.
He is a little worried about the surgery, but now is as good a time as ever to get it repaired and get all fixed up.
Wish us luck :)

24 week update!
I went to the doctor today. They said that everything is looking great! The nurse gave me my lab paper work to get my glucose screening done. I have to go to the lab in about three weeks for the one hour glucose test to check for gestational diabetes (it's standard procedure for all pregnancies around 28 weeks). The last time I was at the lab the guy that took my blood told me how to pass it the first time so that I don't have to do the three hour glucose test, basically stay away from simple sugars for 12 hours before the test and drink lots of water. So we'll see how that goes. They went over the results from my 20 week ultrasound and she said that everything is going good. They did tell me that my placenta attached really low, and they are going to schedule me for one more ultrasound around 32 to 34 weeks (sometime in February) to make sure that it has fixed itself by that time. Good news is, I may get some more ultrasound pictures (!!) and we will get to see the baby one more time before it's born! Other than that everything was routine. We got to hear the heartbeat, which was in the 150's and the baby was moving around the whole time. My next doctors appointment is in a month and then I start going every other week after that! It's so exciting!
