5. Fun GTKY: What was your favorite item you got as a present for the holidays? My hubby and lil bro got me a Kindle!!!! the only thing I'm not a fan of is there are no arrow buttons so if I forget a space or something, it' s hard to go back and fix.

3. What are you doing to stay healthy this week? Ummm, nothing.
4. Anything exciting happening this week? ( Doesn't have to be baby related) We did a bunch of organizing/rearranging work this weekend, so we now have a mostly empty room for the nursery.

Just wanted to say thanks for the input and advice on my gallstone scare. My family and I are believers and so when I told them about my pain my H, MIL, and FIL laid hands on me and prayed. A couple of days later I realized I hadn't had an "attack" and Friday's ultra sounds came back that all my organs are normal. I can honestly say I haven't felt that pain since. The apple cider vinegar and apple juice couldn't even touch the pain I was in. I'm so grateful for healing.
