Wednesday, December 8

happy decemberween!

Yay! I love December. Christmas and snow and seeing family and friends and drinking hot cider. So much goodness in this month. I love how friendly everyone is all the time and wishing me happy holidays. I may keep this tradition up all year round. If I'm asked what holiday, I'll just pick the closest one.

9 more weeks of pregnantness. Yay. I feel so big. Baby is measuring 3 lbs 14 oz and about 3 days ahead of his due date, according to ultrasound yesterdee. Also, he is cute. You'll have to take my word on that one since I don't want to put ultrasound photos on my blog. That seems weird. Here I am at 28 weeks, so this is 3 weeks ago. Baby is kicking tons, nausea has come back a bit (boo), and I am trying to mentally prepare for childbirth, which has me alternately excited and terrified.


Jason is ridiculoso busy with school and work. We don't see much of each other, and when he's around he's usually typing up a paper. Here he is on Thanksgiving weekend, with his new leather jacket which he wears around the house because it makes him feel awesome. He is. I will be glad when this guy gets a break and a chance to sleep.



It snowed a bunch one day and Jason was trying to suggest things we could do together while he was both home and awake one Sunday... I picked building snowmen. Here are our friends:

Bet you can guess which one is me. Clue: the pregnant one. And at our house, snowmen wear sombreros and their mouths are made of strawberry jam.


We had a lovely Thanksgiving with family and continued to get more snow... our little friends were buried.


As they have melted in the past few days, I look at them outside the window and think, "Uncle Owen! Aunt Beru!" Hahaha. I'm hilarious.

Are you getting excited for the holidays? I hope the season finds you well and with lots of ideas about how to make it meaningful and fun.

xoxo

You're weird. But I love the snowmen. I think I will steal the strawberry jam idea - you know - if I'm ever in a place that has snow. I really like how they turned out. And I also like how your snow-clone is way more pregnant than you are. 9 more weeks? You are crazy small! Or black really is slimming.

Your beard is weird! The jam turned the faces creepy the next day, though... be warned. The mouths got all big and gaping. Not as attractive as it was initially. Snow clone! Yeah! Well that photo WAS 3 weeks ago, my friend. I have expanded since. Just you wait until next week's photo. Just you wait.

You are still so tiny! I love it! And I adore your snowmen...

holy cow you are tiny. No seriously...you are so tiny! I feel like all of the sudden this week I became the waddling basketball pregnant lady that people wince when they see. Heck, I wince just looking at myself in the mirror. But you are looking great and I totally laughed at the Uncle Owen joke. You're a funny one. :)

I have to agree with everyone and say that, not only is your baby bump so cute and little, but you look great all around!! I hope you have a great Christmas! If your family isn't already planning something, I would love to help host a baby shower for you. Let me know!
