Christmas Shopping

It's that time of year again! We are working on getting all of our Christmas shopping done and getting it all wrapped. We expect to be slightly more distracted this year so no Christmas Eve shopping for us! It feels really good to get things out of the way. I hope I am still feeling okay and can possibly do some Black Friday shopping, just to see if there are any good deals out there! We know that our baby is going to be the best gift we will receive! Only 18 days left until D-Day :)

New Nursery Picture

Chad's latest project :)

Getting Closer

We are quickly approaching Seamus' due date and I am beginning to wonder if we are really ready...or if we will ever be :) We have finished up the last bits of the nursery. We bought some letters to spell out Seamus' name and Chad has painted them and hung them up! I cannot wait for the semester to wrap up! I only have 3 weeks of classes left (and about 3 1/2 weeks until Seamus' due date). We have started our Christmas shopping since waiting isn't really an option this year!! I have also started making some hats and other fun stuff for Christmas gifts and just for fun. I will get some pictures up of them as soon as I can. Chad and I are both looking into selling our cars for cars that are a bit bigger... We love our cars, we have found they just don't fit car seats so comfortably :) We also still have our house on the market and are hoping that traffic will pick up after the first of the year. I can't believe how fast time has passed and that we are so close to getting to hold our baby boy.

Less than 5 Weeks....

The weeks have flown by and we are now just under 5 weeks until Seamus is due! I had a baby shower on Halloween and I got more than I could have ever imagined. We are so grateful everything that we have received. We are putting the finishing touches on the nursery: Chad has been working hard to make sure everything has a place. He has also found the panorama function on the computer :) I started washing all of the new clothes we have received and next we are going to sterilize bottles, pacifiers and all that other fun stuff! I will try to keep updating more over the next few weeks and we will for sure get pictures up of our baby boy when he arrives :)

32 Weeks Pregnant

Wow! 32 weeks pregnant only 8 more to go! Starting to get more tired as the days fly by. Between work and school I am trying to get in as much sleep as possible before our little Seamus arrives!! I can't wait to see his sweet face and hold him! We love him so much already!

We are getting all of the finishing touches done in his room. I am having a baby shower at the end of October and I can't wait to spend sometime with friends before our little bundle arrives!! Life has changed so much already and it is only going to change more!! We can't wait.

Last Night

We had a 100 year old oak tree fall last night. We are so thankful that it did not hit any part of the house. It fell across the driveway while it was raining last night. I was sleeping and didn't even hear it fall!! Chad came and woke me up. The fire department came and cut some of the limbs so that we would get one car out if needed. Hopefully someone will be here today to cut it all up and take it away!! What a crazy night!

Birthing Class

We took a birthing class this weekend. It was very informative and we learned a lot about all the crazy things that will happen as we approach delivery time. There were only 3 other couples in the class, which was nice, it allowed everyone to be comfortable and not feel so silly doing all of the breathing and comfort techniques. I think that the class really helped Chad, so that he won't be worried about the stages of labor. For anyone else expecting I would recommend taking at least one birthing class, especially to help the hubby :)
