4th of July is right around the corner! I hope everyone has some fun plans!! Jason has tomorrow and Friday off, and I get off early tomrrow and have Friday off. Whohoo!! We are planning on going to Newport Beach on Friday night and staying at a hotel just to get away. We have never stayed at a local hotel, but we are really excited! When you are at home there is always something you have to do, so it will be nice to be able to relax, go to the spa, lay by the pool, and do whatever we feel like doing! Were coming home on the 4th and going to watch fireworks from our balcony. We have a great view of a local fireworks display, so it should be fun!

As you all know our baby is due around Christmas. Most kids hate this, because stupid people always combine birthday and Christmas presents, so the kid gets less. I know Jason and I won't do this, and will always celebrate his or her bday separate, but some people are bound to make this mistake. This seems to be a huge negative in having a Christmas baby, but some people on a blog for December due dates had all these positive things to say about having a baby in December!

• You have your own personal heater to keep you warm in the cold months leading up to your delivery.
• You get to use all those soft cozy warm outfits and blankets for your newborn:-)
• You can eat as much as you want at Thanksgiving and not feel guilty.
• You won't be 8 months pregnant sweating your ass off in the August heat.
• You get to bundle up in warm sweaters and pants when your 8 months pregnant, instead of tank tops and shorts that make you look like a cow.
• Since you will only be about 5-6 months pregnant, and can still look cute in a bathing suit this summer!
• You get an extra special Christmas present!
• Potential maternity leave during the holidays.
• You can use 2008 vacation time, then 2009 vacation time for a longer maternity leave!
• You have a whole 6 months to get back into bikini shape!
• 2008 tax deduction.
• Nobody can expect anything out of you for the holidays.

And the list goes on!! Yay for December babies!!!
