December is here, and so is the Third Trimester

Well, I just realized that the last time I posted was back in November when we put the crib together. A lot of things have happened since then...well not a ton, but it has been almost a month.

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I spent it with my family while Josh stayed at the base since he had to work. Next year, Patton and I will have Thanksgiving with Josh no matter what. I didn't like leaving him for the holiday.

Josh and I finally finished registering at Babies R Us, which means we traveled to Jackson, registered, and also had some P.F. Chang's. Yum!

I am working pretty hard this month...children's Christmas program, Advent children's sermons, and plenty more.

Josh and I decorated for Christmas. We have the tree and decorations up...our first Christmas as a married couple and our first Christmas in our home. We love it...if only Charlie would stop pulling the light bulbs off the tree. Silly pup!

Patton is growing and becoming more and more active. I've finally passed my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm over it by 4 lbs, but that number is sure to grow in the coming months.

I am officially in the third trimester now, and I can slowly feel my energy fading. I've fallen asleep on the couch for the past 4 nights...all before 9pm. Tonight I plan to keep myself away from the couch at all costs...I have to get the house cleaned up before Mom gets into town tomorrow.

My mom and dad are both coming into town for our 4D ultrasound, which is Friday morning. Mom is coming in tomorrow afternoon, and will hopefully help me out with a few projects. Dad is coming in Friday morning. Josh and I are so excited about the ultrasound! We can't wait to see Patton's face!

This coming Sunday, Josh and I are lighting the Advent candle during the worship service and leading the congregation in the Call to Worship. Then on Monday, I am hosting the Presbyterian Women's Evening Circle Bible Study at our house, and I have so much to do before then. Our weekend will be full of cooking, cleaning, and trying not to let me fall asleep early.

Well I better end this post and get back to work, today is my busy day of the week: Wednesday. We have Christmas program practice tonight, and I hope it goes well. They sure know how to wear me out.
