Nutty

I went out looking for nursery room furniture at thrift stores, and this is what I found:

Nutty!

They are my favorite! This one is going to be named Nutty (I really like naming things. My car is Ladybug, our stunted Christmas tree is Piper, and my two plants are Fischer and... uhoh, I forgot the other one.... its new).

This is Piper. He leans a little

to the right, and don't touch

the pinecones... they came

unglued...

I just put up some things for Christmas, since everyone else is. Yes, I gave in to the peer pressure. I am feeling very festive though, so it works out. I didn't go all out.... yet. We dont have lights, except on Piper (he plugs in, no extras necessary : ) Piper is economical like that)

But here's some of the pics of what I have gotten to do. Cheapo stuff collected for the past three years : )

My grandma made the crocheted

snowflakes : )

I hope hubby is cool with it, since it took me like 20 minutes to do it all, and he's at class right now. Poor guy, he always comes home to furniture rearranged and house changed up hehehe. Right now, our fat girl Hunneybun is attempting to squeeze through a little crevice in order to sit on my chest. She just succeeded, and I can't breathe now....

Anyways, I cant wait for thanksgiving and I hope you all get your plans smoothed out and have a great time : )

Once upon a time, I got to hang out with my husband and enjoy the coming holidays.... THIS year, however, it seems that things are a little bit crazier than usual....

Aaron officially got a job working at the Mac Store selling Apple products. He seems to love it : ) It may be the MOST tempting place to work though, since we have upgraded our phones and now he has his eyes on some headphones (in my personal opinion, his current headphones work just fine!). But he is working really hard to provide for our growing family, and doing a great job at it : ) Very proud of him!

This means, however, that he is taking 18 units and working almost full-time. CRAZY! We get to see each other, probably around 9pm. And then we both scurry off to finish our homework. It also seems that my professors decided to get rid of tests and replace them with essays.... Of which I am HORRIBLE at writing. I really am pretty terrible. I cannot write a logical sentence to save my life. Gun to my head? Nope, still horrible.

So though I am only taking 13 units and not working, my essay time has skyrocketed, and mind you, I am definitely no whiz at busting out 10 page papers in a day. Try minimum 2 days.

ANyways, the good news is, Aaron will graduate at the end of this semester, and I will be taking a year off from school to prepare for baby.

Baby Belly at 21 Weeks

Speaking of baby, we went in for our 20 week ultrasound. Baby's heartbeat was awesome! Anatomy was all there, and baby had some big lips and Savage calves (we have bodybuilder genetics in the calf region).

Baby Profile at 20 Week Ultrasound (sorry for the glare)

And the most surprising news:

We are having a baby girl!!! Well, 90% she's a girl....

We have chosen a name, and now everyone is starting to call her it, so I think it's a keeper. We are going with Sydney. No middle name yet, but we are considering Sydney Anna, Sydney Kay, and maybe Sydney Grace. Not sure yet.

Okie Dokie- Other than that, we are just chuggin along, trying to stay on mission, looking to the future, and putting our noses to the grindstone. Thanks for listening!
