1 week old today

This has been a crazy week! Jessica is 1 week old and it already feels like time is flying by. I have enjoyed being able to spend time with my children and husband this week. My family has been a huge help with food and anything else we might need. I can't help but be over joyed right now about all of the wonderful things and people I have been blessed with. I look forward to another wonderful week with the family!

December

It has been a fun month! I had Christmas break off and was able to spend endless quality time with my boys. We colored, rode on the carousal, Baked cupcakes, and so much more! Also on break I got to reupholster some cushions on an old rocking chair I am using in the new babies room. Check out the picture below.

Took me 2 hours to do this which was over two days. I can only sit still for so long being pregnant! I probably would have been done sooner. I am so excited on how the room is turning out. Ready for our new arrival to make her appearance!

I go back to work tomorrow and it will be a busy week! Classes start back on Monday so hopefully I will get back into a system before the baby comes. No worries I know all will be well.


Happy New Year everyone and make this year better than last year! I know I plan too!

Christmas

Christmas is right around the corner and I can't believe I have all my Christmas shopping done. This is already a stress free Christmas. I have never been pregnant during Christmas and I must say it will be very interesting trying to get up and down off the floor with the boys. It is going to be so much fun! 

We got our Christmas tree out after Thanksgiving and I think it looks pretty good this year!

Today, tomorrow, and always...

I am 7 1/2 weeks away from giving birth to my first little girl. Brian and I are getting so exctided for her to come and so are the boys. I keep thinking about when I first had Josh and with each child has its own excitement. I know thanks giving is over but I am still thankful for my children and their father who takes care of all of us. Be thankful today, tomorrow, and always.
