Tonight I babysat for Becky and Mike's 18 month old, Roman. Good practice for having my own right? He was an angel, just as expected! Tomorrow after work is Christmas Eve with the Januszewski's (my parents, Lyndy and Phil, my grandparents, and me, Rudy and the kids). Our traditional fish dinner is one of my favorites of the year, and you know this year I am indulging guilt free! Eating for baby! So SICK of hearing that one! So Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!

Well, some weird things are happening! I have a good amount of pressure in my lower stomach, and I have been peeing WAY more that even the usual amount of peeing during pregnancy. I think I went like 12 or 13 times at work today! I think that means the baby is "dropping" into postition.Speaking of work, my last day will be Dec 29. I was going to try and make it until I had the baby, but these last few weeks have been WAY tougher than I expected. So as long as I'm not in labor before then or unless the doc says I have to stop working, I am at work until Dec 30. I am really excited for the time off (12 weeks, until about March 28!!!!) So everyone please don't hesitate to call and come over and visit! I will be wanting the company! (Just don't check my house for cleanliness...I can't guarantee I'll be up on that like I should!) I'm going out tonight to hopefully finish my Xmas shopping.

Here are some pics from the baby's room. All painting is finished and all furniture has been delivered. Can't wait to get this baby OUT! Be careful out there in this crazy weather!!!!! Why isn't there any salt trucks or plows out?????

Hello everyone! The baby's room is FINALLY starting to come together. I have almost completed the wall mural. Just a few touches til it's done. With Christmas shopping and wrapping, it took me a while to get to it, but it was worth it. I also have a wall decal from Uppercase Living that will go on the angled ceiling. Really cute. I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions on and off. And it's ridiculous getting around. I'm ready to get this show on the road!!!!!

Well, the Mary Kay Holiday Party was a success! Congrats to Diane E., Rachael A., Donna W., and Linda B., my raffle prize winners! And thanks to all who came out. I worked myself like a dog getting the house ready with all the Christmas decorations and even my tree is up. So this weekend I'm getting a little much needed hibernation time. Only 4 weeks to go!!!!!!! I gotta get all the rest I can now.

Put the Christmas tree up last night, after some mild "tree drama" it turned out beautiful! We also ordered our last piece of furniture for the baby's room. That should be in next week and then we will have all the major stuff and can have the baby's room all ready. I need to get going with the paintings on the walls. I haven't really been in the mood plus I've been busy with holiday stuff as well. I'll get it done! Off the next 2 days YES!!!! (Thursday and Friday) Tonight I have dinner plans with my friend Rachael and then we are going to a Tastefully Simple/Uppercase Living party. I'm excited because I heard they have great quotes to buy for baby's room that are peel and stick. That was I don't have to break my back painting letters perfectly! Well, gotta get back to work. Hope you see you all Friday anytime between 3-9 pm for my Holiday Party!!!!

Had some contractions after work today. That kind of freaked me out...but after I had some water and laid down, they went away. Can't believe all this snow!!! Wasn't ready for that yet. We got majority of our Xmas decorations up, except the tree. Think we are going to put that up tonight. We also have to get to Babies R Us to order the last piece of furniture for the babies room - coupon is good only from today until Sat.
