Here comes Santa Claus......

Happy December everyone! I am sure everyone is busy with all of there Christmas shopping and decorating for the season. Luckily I had a Christmas gift list made back in October with a few exceptions and so all our Christmas shopping and gift wrapping are almost complete. That is on our agenda for this coming weekend. This time of year is such an exciting time and I always look forward to spending the holidays with our families and getting to eat lots of great food!

As many of you know by now Justin turned the big 30 over the weekend! We just had a small celebration with a few friends on Saturday and we watched the game at our house then went out for a birthday dinner. It was great to spend time with our friends and that wonderful Auburn victory! We are having a big birthday bash this coming weekend at our house. So Justin is really looking forward to it. Because we are having the party at our house we have been trying to buy some last minute decorations for our home that we had not bought yet. So poor Justin had to work half the day on his actual birthday helping me finish decorating for Christmas and help me clean since I had to be out running errands for this weekend! Luckily Justin's parents are coming into town early on Saturday to help us do things around the house. It is so strange that just gaining weight and growing a baby inside of you hinders you from doing as much! Especially right now it is so weird because my stomach is not even big and preggo yet and I already get out of breath and my back hurt from just sitting on the floor for too long! I am not used to all of that! I think it is hard for Justin to understand as well because who would think simple task would slow down someone who is only 15 weeks pregnant. But I've got news for him and everyone else IT DOES!!!!!!!!!!

We went to our 4 week check-up last Thursday and the doctor told me everything looked great. We did not get to have a peek at our sweet angel but we did get to hear the heartbeat! It was around 158-168 Dr. Christine said, which was a lot lower than the first 2 times. We asked Dr. Christine if I could come back the week of Christmas to find out the sex and she said she would have let us but they were not going to be open all week and I'm sure her schedule was already booked. But we still got great news because we get to go back on December 28th! It is still a week earlier than we had expected! But I will be 19 weeks that week so that will be perfect timing! I will have to drink some caffeine before my appointment so I make sure the baby is ready to show us what it's got! I still have a very deep big feeling it is a boy. So does Justin and some other members of our family and friends! But, this appointment they look to make sure the baby is healthy and developing good so that is our prayer that the baby is 100% healthy and everything is operating like it should! Luckily the Rolling's and my mom are going to be able to go with us so they can hear it in person! I think that is so much better than calling them! We are so happy our doctor allows family to come and that they are going to be able to make it up!

After Auburn's huge victory over South Carolina it is official that we are going to the National Championship! WHOO HOO! What a great season it was! The Bass family decided last night that we will make a Bass family vacation out of it and head to Arizona! We are trying to finalize all of our plans and make sure we are getting to best deals and then we are booking our trip! I am so excited that our family is going to be able to take this trip together and watch our Tigers play for a National Championship after sooooo many years!!! So we are keeping our fingers crossed that our trip will work out for us!

I hope everyone has a great week and gets all there shopping done! I will make sure to take pictures of Justin's party and post them! Oh and check out our New York pictures on facebook! I still have a few more to upload but the album is done! Until next time.........
