Christmas/New Years and 29 weeks

I hope that everyone has had a great Christmas and New Years! I know Alan and I did! We did a lot of traveling over the break, had a blast, and are finally getting settled back in the routine of things at home. As I'm typing this, the last load of Elizabeth's clothes are being washed and Alan is outside working on making a shelving unit for her closet. I can't believe only about 10 more weeks until she is here!


Elizabeth made out like a bandit this year for Christmas, and she's not even here. Our parents and my sister-in-laws did great and found some of the CUTEST stuff for her! I think she is going to be the best dressed baby there ever is! She also got some fun toys and books that I'm sure she'll enjoy! :)


While we were visiting my parents, my sister started the artwork for Elizabeth's room. The three pictures that she painted were originally going to go over her changing table and the big one that she is working/ going to work on was going to go above the crib, but I think I'm going to have to reverse that plan because the crib is definitely taller than I remembered. Haha. So without further ado, here are the first three paintings...

They look GREAT with the bedding, color wise! I can't wait to hang them up!! We've told Michelle that she needs to do this as a side job! They turned out wonderful and I am so proud to be her sister. :)

Foods I'm hating? Spaghetti isn't on my favorites list this week...


Best moment this week? Well, it's been a GREAT two weeks, so I'd have to say spending time with family, but also getting back to our home!


What I'm looking forward to? Getting our next ultrasound next Thursday, going to my doctor's new office, and taking a tour of the new (to me) hospital soon!
