A Lot to Be Grateful For!

I'll be home for Christmas...

Just waiting for Paul to get home from work so we can head home for Christmas! I'm pretty excited b/c its my family's year for Christmas which means 2 parents, 20 kids and 20 1/2 grandkids :) all together for the holiday! Hopefully MANY pictures to come but here is one of my growing baby boy...I am definitely running out of room in there.

BUDDAH BELLY...BUDDAH BELLY!

34 Weeks 

Counting Down

And so it begins...I have officially started buying diapers since I know I will be going through dozens more than anyone ever anticipates. I was actually pretty excited about this, the newborn diapers are just so cute and tiny I couldn't resist. I also have purchased my diaper bag which actually isn't a "diaper bag" per-say but just a really cute oversized purse. :) I thought that if I'm going to be carrying this thing around with me everywhere why not be fashionable at the same time, right? Anyway it was a steal at Paul's new favorite store Steinmart and looks a lot like another one I've seen by Petunia Picklebottom that I thought was super cute so I got it. Also included here is my 33 week belly shot. You'll notice I am in my pj's which is my outfit of choice lately b/c I work from home and don't ever have to get ready if I don't want to!

Too funny not to post

The following is an excerpt from a blog I frequent occasionally...middle aged Mormon dad living in Utah with 3 daughters, funny enough I relate to much of what he posts! haha

"Cling to my back, Bella and I will climb with you to a spot where it is safe to oogle."

That's right. It's finally time to take another shot at Twilight! I know that as soon as my wife reads this post, she's going to put her fingers to work, punch a few keys on the keyboard and send this post to the land of never-to-be-seen-again copy (the non-verbal-written-word bone yard.) But until then, I'm going to take a second and do something really, really fun: Poke fun at Twilight.

To be fair, I haven't even seen the movie yet. And, there's a seriously good chance I never will. But if photos, like the one posted above, keep popping up on the internet, I won't need to see it.

You know, more than anything, the best fun a guy can have is to stand close enough to hear the chatter from Twilight lovers. Check out a few lines I've heard from the local womenfolk and see what I mean. "Bella is so undeserving of Edward." Or, "Edward's hair is so beautiful." Try out this one, "When Edwards looks at the camera, it nearly stops my heart." Okay. Okay. I can't help myself. Try out one more. "They are so romantic. And so magical," followed by a long, long sigh.

See what I mean?

Here's to hoping that sequels are coming down the turnpike. And for all the right reasons!

Not a whole lot to report

I will warn you...this post is not very exciting but you can't expect much from me when I work from home and nothing much has been going on with us lately besides an ever growing belly. 

In the next week we're hoping to move all of our stuff from Carlsbad into our newer 2 bedroom apt in Palm Desert so we can be ready for Cohen. So excited about the moving company (rather than me) packing, loading, moving and unloading all our stuff. Horray!! Also, since my doctor is in Encinitas and we live in Palm Desert he agreed to induce me a week early so I'm not driving 2 hours while in labor to make it to the hospital. Come January 27th we will be parents!! So crazy to think that in 7 weeks the little guy that has been kicking and hiccuping in me for the last 7 months will be here. Life is crazy 

I was able to make this nativity set at a RS activity. So easy, just painted them brown and then sanded the highlights to the pieces. Not fancy but definitely will be kid proof! Big plus :)

The rest of these are just pictures of our lazy dogs, Crash and Scout. They are good company to me while I work from home; and they just sit around all day and sleep. As you can see they're a little attached to us, they've been the "babies" for a few years so I hope they'll be ok when the actual human baby comes! haha
