Week 19/20

I'm not going to have a very big post today.


 (EDIT: Apparently, I had more to talk about than I thought.) 


It's been a lovely, lazy week! Mostly because I've been off work since Thursday!


Thanksgiving was wonderful and relaxing. We slept in. I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We got to see family we hadn't seen in a bit, and eat lots of good food, and just enjoy being with each other. Had great conversations. Had my belly touched a lot which I did not mind in the slightest. And otherwise, enjoyed the day. 


Then we slept in (again) on Friday (Yay no work!!), and Hubby got invited last minute to go shooting. So I just stayed home, relaxed, watched a couple movies, and then proceeded to read the first two books of The Hunger Games. I've read them before, but didn't get a chance to read the final one. So I decided to read the first two again before jumping right into Mockingjay. I was so glad I did! I whittled away about 5 hours reading those two books, and then spent Saturday reading Mockingjay. That series is currently one of my favorite, and I am very excited for the movie coming in March! 


Saturday evening, I decided to take Hubby out on a date! We went and watched J. Edgar--fascinating movie!--and did the whole popcorn/drink combo thing. It was a lot of fun, and we both enjoyed the movie and the date a lot.


Today, I went to Target to grab some stuff we needed, hoping that the craziness of Black Friday had gone away. Thankfully, it had! Though the mall right across the street looked absolutely insane. I think if I ever need to go to the mall, I'm going to have Hubby drop me off and then pick me up so I don't have to deal with parking. Ugh. 


In Baby news, still growing. Getting fat and all that good stuff! Though I think the most exciting thing for me is feeling Baby totally kicking me off and on! It's such a strange amazing feeling! I am also super excited for this week! Thursday, we have our ultrasound and we'll find out the gender. Yay! And then Friday, I hop a train to go visit my Twin for the weekend! Soo excited! A much needed wonderful break!


Sadly, this means our condo won't be too festive till I get back. But oh well! I'll be baking and decorating soon. In the meantime, Christmas music! w00t! 


Here's the picture for this week! It's from Thanksgiving. I'm really popping! 

P.s. I cannot believe that I'll be 5 months pregnant in a week. I'm over halfway there! What! 

Life and all that jazz....

Well, it's been a month. And what a month. Hard to believe time's flown by that fast. Haven't had as much success as I would have hoped to get things cleared up in my own head, but that's life for you, I suppose.

Thanksgiving was very fun. We spent it at Hubby's aunt's house, and had amazing food, good fellowship, and just hanging out time. Hard to believe Thanksgiving has come and gone. December is tomorrow. Where on earth did the month go? It's crazy how fast this year has been going.

Hubby graduates in a few weeks which means both of us have finals and papers piled on to finish up before the end of school. Which also means the house is in disarray to the point of making me want to scream, but it's either cleaning or writing the 15 page research paper I have due... So the cleaning gets put on hold. But once this paper is done, I shall do a massive cleaning, decorating of our house, and loads of baking. I'll probably end up doing that Wednesday night, since I'm having some girlfriends over to do a Girl's Night Thursday. So...yah, Wednesday shall be my designated clean, bake, and cook day.

We found out a few weeks ago that both of our best friends are expecting babies (one, in fact, is expecting twins!). Such an amazing thing to hear! We're so happy for them!! Talk about a wonderful Christmas present. Both of them are going to make such good parents. Can't wait to have little ones running around calling me "Aunti!" Hehe.

Speaking of that fifteen page research paper....I should get to it. I'll be back more regularly now, though I really don't know how many actually read this.

Merry Christmas!
