1. So this Friday we will be having the ultra sound to see what sex the baby is! We are so excited! Things just keep getting more and more exciting! A name will be announced soon after we find out the sex… as well as shower dates and registry info! This just makes my heart so happy! It feels like a dream!
2. Tonight I am putting up the Christmas tree… I am also very excited about this. Pictures will indeed be posted upon completion.
3. Seth told me today that he wants to take me to Chicago for a mini Christmas Vacation and for some crazy-awesome Christmas shopping! We are headed there the weekend of December 11 – 14! I hope I find a good maternity coat by then! It was snowing there this morning!
4. I took an overnight shopping trip to St, Louis this past weekend with some ladies from Church. Friday night Seth and I, and John and Missy went on a double date in the St. Louis area for some Sushi. (yes, I did my research on sushi during pregnancy!) After Sushi, we hit up a Mexican restaurant for some dessert, then Starbucks, a couple stores, and Guitar Center and then the boys headed back home and me and Missy met up with some friends from church, stayed in nice hotel and devoted all day Saturday to some intense shopping! It was such a fun weekend! I’m glad I decided to go because I ended up finding a lot of great winter clothes that will last me at least through the winter months! I found two awesome pairs of jeans too! One pair is not maternity, they are actually Silvers, which I wear from the Buckle on a normal non-pregnant basis, but I found them in a size that works (or at least that will work for the next month or so) AND in an x-long length, which is perfect! I also found a pair of maternity pants with a cute flap pocket which also just happen to be long enough! I got several shirts and sweaters, a new pair of AWESOME black suede winter boots and put a very small dent in my Christmas shopping as well. The only thing that I am still needing is a good winter maternity coat, or at least a regular one that fits and can button over my baby bump! If anyone has any coat suggestions I am open to them! It’s dipping down into the 20’s here at night and I’ve maybe got another week of fitting into my regular coat! It was also just wonderful to get to spend some much needed time with Missy. She has been a lifesaver!
5. So, speaking of my Christmas lists.... I had so much stuff I needed to get for myself that I couldn't really concentrate on my Christmas list, BUT the day after Thanksgiving it’s SOOOOO on! I organized my list today! I absolutely LOVE Christmas shopping!!! Just being able to see something and think of someone, and show that no matter how far away, I was thinking about you this Christmas... I love it! Obviously my love language is gift giving, which can get complicated sometimes! (and despite what the cynics say, it truly isn't about the gift, it's about the process and heart of it all! It's just a wonderful and creative way to show someone that they aren't forgotten in your world and that you care!) Hopefully I’ll be able to find everyone something special from Chicago as well! Go ahead and send in any requests!
I think that’s it for now… there will be much more to write about after this week so stay tuned!!!!
(oh and P.S.... I was just informed that there are snow flurries outside!)
