packin' it on

We're packing here in more than one way. I packed on the pounds during Christmas break. It's so hard being pregnant during the holidays! So many goodies everywhere. And hopefully we will literally be packing soon to move into a new apartment! We found an awesome place today that is so so perfect. I'm praying we get it. It has everything on our wish list, it's close to the provo river trail and campus, has place for a garden, laundry room, split level, 1 1/2 baths. There was another couple looking at it the same time we were there, but we know the current tenants and they're going to put in a good word for us to make sure we get it =) If we don't get it...I will definitely be sad.

We need more space for this big belly that I've got!
29 weeks

Baby boy is busy up in my ribs most days or stomping on my bladder. He was showered with gifts over Christmas, he will be one spoiled little boy. David's step-dad does not want to know the gender of the baby until he comes. However the rest of David's family knows, including his mom. So while we were with everyone, we had to try and censor our gender references. But we all said "he" or "him" about a thousand times accidently in front of his step-dad. Plus I opened some pretty "blue" gifts that had to have given it away. He's still playing dumb though =) Maybe he really didn't pick up on all the clues.

As time nears closer, I realize we still need some keys things like a carseat and stroller, a crib mattress, and lots of other little things. Only about 1o more weeks and he's here!! Better get crackin!

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas



It's the most wonderful time of the year! Using this tutorial, I made us a little family set of stockings =) I love them. Mine is the blue one, david's the white and red one, and our little boy's is the grey houndstooth. They literally took me not more than an hour and I got the fabric at Joann's on black friday, mega discount! Pretty, quick, and cheap makes a pretty happy girl. Plus they replace my awful red velvety ones I got at the dollar store. If only I had a mantle to hang them on....

Using this tutorial, I made a wreath which I have yet to take a picture of. I will though. I love my wreath, plus it only cost me 5 bucks total. =) And here's our puny tree. I ran out of lights at the top.
