22 and counting..

Well I haven't been here in a while..I knew that would likely happen. I have been busy with life in general and am flat out lazy. Time is seriously flying by!! I can't believe I am already 22 weeks! We have been busy with painting her room and buying plenty of baby stuff :) She already has a ton of clothes. We went ahead and bought the stroller & car seat along with her crib. I am in love! I can't wait to put her in them all :) She has been quite the jumping bean here recently. I felt her move for the first time on November 13 and about 2 weeks later Mikey felt her. It is the wildest feeling and I love it! She is still nameless. I have about a million people on me for this too. I don't know how people pick a name. It has been the hardest part of it all.

Thanksgiving came and went, sadly, it is one of my favorites. It just doesn't get any better than family & food. Christmas will be here soon and it is definitely my favorite holiday. I have always liked this time of year but in recent years I have been absolutely loving it. It really is just magical :) and let's not forget Black Friday. I did plenty of shopping and got lots of goodies.

I will share some pictures of what has been going on..
