So, how about a little update, hmm?
Pop!
Here she comes! Only 6 more weeks to go!
I swear she's not going to wait that long. The amount of pushing and shoving going on in there all night and day is making me think she's a little like her mommy and is ready to get out and goooo!
But, we shall see!
December has hit us full force, like always. How does it sneak up like that every single year?!
We got a tree three weeks ago.
And finally got the decorations up on it a few nights ago.
I don't know if this is Brandon's first Christmas tree or not, but I'm pretty sure he'll actually remember this one.
He was SO excited to help Daddy put the ornaments on the tree!
(They're the cutest pair, I love to watch them do stuff together).
Thanks to my creative sister in law, we had our little girl's baby shower on the 7th.
It was perfect!
And, thanks to the rainy/cold weather that weekend, very correctly themed:
"Baby it's Cold Outside".
Matt and I also made it to my work's office party last weekend.
It was also fun, but, having a toddler who wakes up at 6-something-AM no matter what, and being almost 8 months pregnant does not go well with a 10pm dinner.
As I've been sitting here spacing out and staring at the twinklie lights on the Christmas tree, I realized a few things.
1.
This is Brandon's last Christmas as an almost 2 yr old.
He's finally outgrowing some of his clothes and it made me so sad to put them in a box. My baby is growing up too fast!
He's really matured in the last month actually. The boy has gone from semi-baby-ish to full on toddler.
He's even putting two words together occasionally. (Which, I find amazing since he had no real speaking ability just 4 months ago).
2.
Next year at this time we'll have TWO kids. An almost 3 yr old (which I've never had), and an 11 month old (which I've never had).
Personally I think that sounds like a mess. Fun, lots of fun!
...But a mess.
3.
I have no idea what we'll be doing next December at this time, or where we'll be living, or if we'll even have any money or any time to get a tree again.
4.
4 1/2 months ago we had NO clue there was going to be a new baby in our family at the beginning of 2014.
So,
We still have no idea how or if I'm going to keep working or how we'll ever save money to own a house... or where we'll put all the bottles and infant supplies... It's all happening pretty darn fast.
But I DO know that by this time next year, my husband and I will be having lots and lots of fun, picking up toys every night after the kids go to bed. :)
Well, that's about it for now.
We still have 2 big family Christmas parties coming up, along with our immediate family gatherings in the next 2 weeks...
...And my hair is officially a frizz ball.
It must be bedtime. Sweet dreams!
