I am at the 31 1/2 week mark; which means that we only have 8 1/2 weeks left to go until baby Gates joins us.
I thought I would be more organized by now - such as having the nursery painted and the crib put together and his quilt started...but time has gotten away from me and none of this has happened (or even been started). However, my parents are coming up for Christmas and have so graciously offered to paint the nursery for us while they are here. What a blessing it will be and so fun to get to set stuff up in the freshly painted room with my mom while she is here.
My new most favorite thing is the recliner that we just got. Our couches, though usually very comfortable, are not quite comfy for me at this point. The recliner was a much needed and welcome addition to our living room. It will also be very handy in helping rock baby Gates to sleep.
The Christmas season has come very quickly this year. Tyler and I have been so busy at work that it has snuck up on us. I am finally starting to get Christmas decorations up and this weekend we got our Christmas tree. I stayed back this year on the annual tree trek and allowed Tyler to choose our tree. Tromping through the snow and cold is not quite as easy as it was pre-pregnancy. I had a wonderful "tree trek" by sitting by the fire up at the property, quilting, sipping hot tea and holding my new nephew Titus. Tyler got a great tree, by AK standards, and it will soon look and smell like Christmas in our house.
One week 'till my parents come. Two weeks 'till Christmas and two months 'till baby arrives -- we have lots happening here in the next few weeks/months.
