28 Weeks

Here I am with my growing belly at 28 weeks.  I'm officially into my 3rd and final trimester!  Yay!  I feel like I've been pregnant forever, and am honestly kind of bored with it at this point.  The newness has worn off and now I'm just anxious to hold my little guy. 

We've just barely started to get ready for baby.  We've had 7 months so far, and haven't done or bought anything in those 7 months so it's time to make up for all of that slacking.  Our next several weekends will be spent painting, putting together furniture, and setting things up. 

Overall I've been feeling really good.  But with that said, my back kills me at the end of the day, and I'm really tired of having to pee like every 30 minutes.  Everyone tells me that I look so cute and tiny, but I feel like a beached whale trying to get in and out of bed.

Shawn and I are still undecided on a name - I fear we may be in the delivery room before we actually settle on something.  For now, we just refer to him as "Junior".  I just hope the nickname doesn't stick!

Work Winter Party

This last Saturday my work had it's annual formal winter party at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. Shawn and I went for the evening and had a really good time! Here we are after eating dinner.

 Here I am with my BFF's Leslie and Andrea at the party.  I always have such a good time with these girls - we just laugh and laugh when we are together, and work doesn't feel so much like work!

There was a photo booth at the party this year, and it was a total blast getting to use it.  You could do it as many times as you want, they had fun props, the photos were available to be downloaded, and best of all it was all free!  I love working for such an amazing employer; I feel so blessed.

Here are some of the photos from the photo booth.

Christmas 2010

This year Shawn and I hosted Christmas Eve in our new home.  It was so much fun!  We had a wonderful dinner with turkey and all of the fixings. 

Here is a photo of all of us in front of the tree.  Left to right is; Nate, niece Jessica, brother-in-law Mark, Me, mother-in-law Joan, sister-in-law Colleen, niece Samantha, Ellie, and Shawn.

 After dinner we did a gift exchange

 Here's a cute photo of Shawn and his mom.

 Cousins Ellie and Samantha.  These two are as thick as thieves.

 After gifts we played Wii.  It was so much fun!  First we played Just Dance, and it was such a good time (of course I forgot to get photos of us playing).  We were able to get everyone up and playing - there were a LOT of laughs had by all.

 Here's Ellie and her new coat!

 The three of us in front of the fireplace - it's the last Christmas as the three of us, next year will be four!
