27 Weeks

Is it just me or has this month been insane?? This is my view...does anyone see my feet?? I don't think so!

This is for posterity...and my cute sister in law, Angela. Here is my belly at 27 weeks.

So we have been getting a few things for our little one...this beauty is going in her room...maybe we can teach her to save (unlike her Mother...Dad will be doing the teaching). Dexter is checking it out...it's almost as big as he is. I love working in a baby boutique!!

Christmas and New Years

Merry Christmas!! We were able to go down to Utah for Christmas to visit my family. We were supposed to fly out Christmas day because I had to work until 3 on Christmas Eve. We had been planning to drive but were worried about the weather so we got a flight just in case. Anyway it ended up working out that we were able to drive so Justin picked me up right after work and we left. We were blessed to get going ahead of the storm that was coming in and we only hit one patch of pretty nasty road. My family was pretty excited...and my mom had been pretty worried because the weather Christmas day was supposed to be pretty UGLY!! We got to my parents house and they already had about a foot and a half of snow...we got another 6-8 inches that night. Luckily they didn't have to go anywhere for Christmas day! We only got two pictures of Christmas morning?? You don't get to see one of them because I am in it and look like poo.

Dexter under my parent's tree...he jumped in the pile for a
wadded up ball of paper and couldn't get out.

We kept Christmas really simple and inexpensive this year. I hate to say it but I was pretty upset about it at first because Justin and I decided not to get each other anything this year. BUT, we were able to give presents to the rest of our family and that was pretty fun cause we are AWESOME and found some pretty cool stuff (well really Justin is awesome and can find anything online for a ridiculously low price). It's amazing what you can do with a few dollars and a little bit of Christmas love!!

And HAPPY NEW YEAR! Our New Years was fun too, we were able to go to our friend's house for some food, games and movies...we stayed until 2. I am still tired.

Um...when is this baby coming again?

Today...

1. I am feeling huge.
2. I parked in the expectant parents spot at the store and didn't feel the least bit guilty.
3. I realized that this baby is coming whether we are ready or not...and it's not that far off. April isn't just a random month next year...it's right around the corner.
4. I am grateful for after Christmas clearance sales...baby will be too.
5. I have read my scriptures every day this year! I am 100%...wahoo! (I know that it's only the 2nd, but I believe in celebrating the small victories)
6. I am SO GRATEFUL for my HANDSOME husband...not just because he is the love of my life or the funniest guy I know...but because he is a GRILLED CHEESE MASTER. I would have married him just for his grilled cheese skills...he's pretty amazing.

(Yes, I realize that I appear to be a very healthy eater in this picture, but if it counts I did have a salad too...lots of veggies.)
7. We still don't have a name for this baby...why is it so hard?
8. We have found a new way to entertain our dog...a treat ball. It's fabulous!

9. I should probably be in bed sleeping right now, but I am not...I am blogging....
