And the tree falls

I attempted to water the tree myself...mistake! It's hard for me to bend over with the load I'm carrying...down went the tree.

A weekend full of decorating

This year our house won't have as many trees as I would like to have. Christmas decorating is tiring when you are carrying a load in front :-) We don't even have our lights outside yet! Kinda disappointing. However we did manage to decorate our Christmas tree.

29 weeks

Today I decided to give Becky's doppler a try again and we heard the babys heartbeat almost as clear as at the doctors office.  Pretty cool! 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I made cut out cookies today that are waiting to be frosted. It's too tiring to decorate and bake them in one day. We got our con color fir tree. We had a living Christmas tree last year (root ball included) that didn't survive the summer so we decided against trying to go that route again. The tree is off to a great! Josh set up our village and nativity and it looks great! His only complaint...he doesn't have enough Christmas Story houses :-)

Thanksgiving in the Smokys

We had such a great Thanksgiving in Tennessee! We had a traditional meal prepared by Mom, Dad & Becky...I guess I did add a couple things too. We went to Dollywood, visited Gatlinburg, saw a bear and even felt a 3.0 earthquake.

IKEA...wow

It's a good thing IKEA is two hours away! Josh and I had our first ever trip to IKEA and we both LOVED it! Sooo many ideas for our house. We bought some storage for our kitchen and a rug for the baby's room. It looks great! We were there three hours and didn't even look at everything IKEA has to offer. The coolest part...our total food purchase was taken off our merchandise bill so it's like we ate for free!

Baby Shower/Birthday Week

I had such an amazing shower. My family worked so hard on making it so special. The time and effort they put into it warms my heart. We all feel so blessed and loved.

For my birthday my parents and my sis got me a maternity winter coat! I was so happy! I didn't want to spend the money on a coat (which I desperately needed) and was overjoyed when I received a ohh so warm black pea coat.

Josh surprised me on my birthday with cute birthday decorations. Very thoughtful :-)
