Monthly updates seem to be as good as it's going to get over here. There is just so. much. going. on. I mean how does one's life become so busy? I've already decided that my goal and focus for 2017 is going to be simplification. (Let's see how that works out with a newborn and almost three year old next year!)
And just like that we have hit the 7th month of pregnancy! I still can't believe how quickly it has gone. Even though this pregnancy has been entirely different in a much harder way I have really enjoyed this season. The cool weather, the holiday food, and all while being covered in lots of fleece layers. What more could a pregnant girl ask for!
I'll be posting a pregnancy update shortly, but for now here is what we have been up to this month. We waited until the second week of December to go cut our tree down. Work and our social scheduling got the best of us and it was all "run, run rudolph" to get that holiday decor up in time for the 25th. Needless to say our lack of planning wasn't the tree farm's emergency since there was like 2 Charlie Brown trees left. We snagged the lesser of two evergreens and off we went.
This week was Brady's last day of preschool and they put on the cutest Christmas program. It was our first time in the audience watching him and we were totally "those parents" floating around the auditorium trying to get the best picture of our kid. Lamby HAD to be apart of the show or the show wasn't going to go on. (Let's see if you can spot him!) Thank goodness for awesome preschool teachers that "get" Brady and Lamby.
We headed out for lunch and then it was home for naps all around. This kid was beat and so was Mama. BUT we rallied this afternoon and made about 5392 sugar cookies that we plan on decorating tomorrow even though we already ate about 600 of them!
Now that Brady is talking we have had some of the cutest conversations. The first being that Brady argued with me for about 10 minutes that the gingerbread man cookie cutter was, in fact, baby Jesus. After fussing over it I finally caved and now, I to, am a believer in the baby Jesus gingerbread man. Shortly after I told Brady that Blakely LOVES the cookies he made and rubbed my belly. About 20 minutes later I gave him a snack while I cleaned the kitchen. He brought one of his apple slices up to me, pulled by shirt up and stuck the apple in my belly button. Yes... my belly button. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I feeding baby sister, Blake." O.M.G. This kid.
I really can't wait for Christmas this year. Watching the magic through a babe's eyes is seriously the best!
Merry Christmas in FIVE MORE DAYS!
