Operation Coming Home Outfit

For the past week now, I have been on a cleaning and organizing, then re organizing binge.  I don't know if it's the nesting that has kicked in, or that it's a new year and I love to get things fresh, clean, and back in order.  Maybe it's a combination of both.  I have made lists and made revisions to those lists, and written them out again.  I want to be sure everything is ready for when Baby C arrives.  And since I am still feeling very energetic, I want to get as much done now while I am feeling up to it. 

It just occurred to me a few days ago, that Baby C does not have his/her "Coming Home" outfit.  So, since many of you have been telling me to slow down, chill out, relax more often, and so on ... I've decided that this weeks mission will be finding a coming home outfit, and I will leave the cleaning alone.  Santa left Baby C two pairs of shoes in a stocking this year.  So, I will be finding an outfit for each pair of shoes.  And after all the hard work that Mommy and Daddy will have done prior to Baby C coming home, I am on a mission to find something to compliment the diaper bag Nana and Papa (my parents) gave to us.  And of course Daddy will need a cozy sweat outfit too, as we will all want to be most comfy and cuddly when we arrive home.

Well, as of today, we are down to single digits in the weeks left and down to double digits in days left - 9 weeks to go / 63 days left!  We are most excited!!

Until next time ....

Happy New Year!

Now that the Christmas rush has slowed, I am hoping that I will be able to update the blog more often.

We are now in our 29th week - where has the time gone?!? Baby C is growing and so is my belly! We have one active little guy/gal on our hands!! I am feeling great, but sometimes forget to slow down and relax. Being still is not something that I do well, but I am trying to try it more often these days. We have our next appointment at the end of the month and are anxiously awaiting it.

It's hard to believe that another year as come and gone already.  2011 was a great year for Ryan and I.  While there were a few speed bumps along our journey through 2011, we have many things to be thankful for and look back on with huge smiles.  Ryan and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary, we spent countless evenings with our families for either family dinner or dessert night.  Family vacation to Big Bear this summer, where a little over a week of relaxing and silliness took place.  We were honored to be a part of 3 beautiful weddings this summer, one of which being my sister Jenn's.  Our dear friends Tracie and Mario welcomed their daughter (our niece) Mackenzie Marie this September, and she is most precious.  We are continued to be blessed and encouraged at our church Westgate.  We've made great new friendships this past year, and strengthened some existing ones.  My career path with Nordstrom continues to grow and look bright.  Ryan is with a new company and couldn't be happier.  Everyone is healthy!  And the biggest highlight of 2011 was finding out that we were expecting.

We hope that you have been able to take some time to reflect on 2011 and all the blessings that came your way.  Much love and happiness to you in 2012!

All our love,
