35 weeks!

So I'm not sure why but the pregnancy ticker on my blog has decided to play a trick on me and say that I am due in 3 days! bad joke! I have 5 weeks... 34 days to go! So for those of you who are wondering.. no I'm not due in 3 days!

Things are going well though. No big complaints besides wanting to sleep on my tummy again so bad! My neck hurts and my sides and back so much when i wake up! yuck!

My baby shower is tomorrow.. my family is coming in to town tonight and I am super excited! I have been working a few hours .. .like 7... a week and it is a nice break from the boredom of sitting at home all day! Paul started school again this week so it just leaves me more time at home by myself.. boo!

The baby's room is coming along well.. Paul is doing a BEAUTIFUL job refinishing all of the furniture.. we have found some really cute nautical decor, and I started to wash and put away the newborn clothes... yay for carter~ we can't wait to meet our little guy!

Jingle All The Way

Christmas time was definitely busy for Paul and I. We both were busy with lots of holiday caterings at work, and then we made time for family festivities too. We never quite finished putting up our holiday decorations at home, but Paul did a pretty good job with the outside of our townhouse.
On Christmas Eve we went over to my sister-in-law Niki's house and had dinner and exchanged gifts with his family. We got a really nice Book of Mormon, a really pretty clock, and a Pooh Bear for the baby. Then on Christmas day we made the (very dangerous) drive to Idaho Falls to be with my family. Five and a half hours later we made it safely in, but vowed to never drive in such bad weather conditions again!

It was really nice to see my family, especially my brother Danny who came out from Pennsylvania and who I hadn't seen since last Christmas!







We acted out the Nativity story, and of course me being 8 months prego, I got chosen to be Mary! here is our sweet family picture!
