1 Month AWAY!!!!

Today marks 1 month until Baby C is going to be delivered! I have not been sleeping good at all the last few weeks and have been having Braxton-Hicks every few days....my husband keeps saying that he KNOWS that he will be here earlier....I am just so tired, hurting and now having some other medical problems....I'm trying not to want to rush him into this fast-paced life yet, but I'm just so miserable now!

We had a Great Thanksgiving....Lots of Food, Laughter....and SHOPPING! I did do the Black Friday shopping tradition, even though several people thought I would skip this year....I felt decent, got lots of walking in...our Family tradition since I was about 5 years old.....Never missed a year! Chloe spent the day with her Daddy shopping, putting up our Christmas lights in the yard and wondering when Mommy was going to get home ??!!

Saturday we went to an Actual Christmas tree farm in North Carolina. My Parents & Sister went with us...I was not prepared with how cold it was...around 25 degrees with the wind blowing...We finally found the perfect tree.....oh, how I LOVE the smell of a fresh tree.... ( my husband won me over with this Christmas tradition :) )

And then Sunday we had our final Thanksgiving gathering with my Dad's side of the family....more food and memories in the making.....

Decorating, wrapping gifts, Apple cinnamon candles, Christmas music.....oh, how I LOVE this time of year!!!! And tonight is our Family/Santa photos.....hope we can get the little rascal Chloe to actually smile and cooperate.....

It is so hard for me to believe it is already THANKSGIVING, this year has truely flew by....we have had our up's & down's for sure, alot of family trials, morning sickness, etc. etc. But I am GRATEFUL for All that We have been Blessed with this Year of 2012!

We are counting down until getting to meet our New addition, "Baby C", about 5 weeks from now, unless he comes early, we will get to meet this baby boy into our family....I'm getting more and more anxious and excited about it...even though I seem to be procrastinating on the "packing suitcase for hospital"....

I LOVE this time of year! Lots of good food, great family time, cool, crisp weather...Happy Thanksgiving Everyone for our Family to Yours!

50 Days!!!!!~

With about 50 days left until my scheduled c-section, I'm starting to feel the "rush" of getting everything I "think" needs to be done. We've about gotten the baby nursery finished, got the carseat out, wiped off and put the new carseat covers on it that I ordered. I've been going through the 0-3 month clothes in his closet....trying to narrow down what I want him to wear in newborn hospital photos, homegoing clothes etc.
As predicted by my husband, he predicts that I will have him earlier than December 26th, which is the date of my c-section....I wouldn't mind myself, but I want him to be fully developed and healthy, so no rush on my end. He kept saying wouldn't it be cool if he was born 12-12-12...???? I have been making myself paranoid about not having my suitcase packed, not only mine, but James & Chloe's. I think that is next on my agenda of "To-Do" just so I know most of the essentials are packed and ready.
We still are not announcing the name as of yet, "Baby C" is what we've been calling him....kinda my last "secret", so I think we are going to wait until he is born to actually announce his name his name.

Until next time....still on the waiting game.....50 days and COUNTING...... ~~~~
