ok seriously...

I know, I know, I know.... It has been 3 months since I have last updated the blog. But wow.. what a wild, wonderful 3 months it has been!!! So life has just been moving along. Here are some highlights from October and November...



October: Alabama football season, John Berry and I went to Gatlinburg for Halloween and had a wonderful time, the weather changed... hmm... ok that's all I can remember from October. Have no fear-- November was awesome...



November: more football, school was busy (both teaching and UAB), John Berry and I got to spend a lot of time with family and friends, I went to New York during the Thanksgiving holidays with my mom, sisters, aunt, and cousin... and little did I know that while I was on that very trip....



I WAS PREGNANT!!! Yep, that's right. John Berry and I are going to bring a little one into this wonderful world. We are BEYOND excited. I am due August 13! We found out right after Thanksgiving on a night when I had 2 papers due the following day. I told John Berry that I was going to take a pregnancy test just for the heck of it, and he rolled his eyes and told me it was pointless. And then I saw a very very very faint pink line... I told JB that I thought I was prego, and he ran to the store to by the expensive digital "Yes" or "No" tests. And then I guzzled a bottle of water, failed at my attempts to write a paper, and waited... Then the time came. And we saw a "YES"!!! We went to the doctor the very next day, and we had to hold in the news until Christmas Eve, which was when we told our families. So that brings us to December...



December: a whole lot of puking. And sleeping. And that's about it...

John Berry has been wonderful!! And it was so wonderful to tell our parents on Christmas. They were so excited!! John Berry had the great idea to have onesies made for our dad's... Mr. John's said "I can't wait to go hunting with my granddad!!" and my dad's said "My granddad rides a harley." They were cute and a perfect way to tell our parents...

Names.. this has been the major question.. and luckily, John Berry and I had already decided on names before the little one was created... If it is a boy, his name will be Jack Crosby Biddle, and he will just go by Jack. If it is a girl, her name will be Ann Parker Biddle, and she will go by Ann Parker (Shoutout to Steph for her help on that one). Regardless of how many children we have, we want to stick with family names. Jack is John Berry's granddad, Crosby is my mom's maiden name, Ann was my middle name and my grandmothers are Nan and JoAnn, and Parker is Mrs. Janet's maiden name. So anyway, that's that.

Today is a big day... at 2:30 I am meeting John Berry at St. Vincents for our first ultrasound. And we get to hear the heartbeat!! So, I promise to be more up-to-date on my blogging. I will keep you updated. Life is good, and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Here's to an absolutely unbelievable 2010!!!
