We did it!

Finals for me are done! Chris has one more tomorrow, but he's a lot better at handling the stress of finals then I am. Which is exactly why I'm not the one planning on going to grad school:) I must say that I'm so grateful to have a hubby that knows how to handle me when I'm freaking out. I had a minor (he may say more then minor actually..) freak out yesterday getting ready for the two hardest finals and he was so good about it. He helped me study and got me cereal, which was of course deeply appreciated. Thanks to him I hopefully did decent on my final today instead of horrible, good man I tell you.

So now it's just his final, I gotta get the house all cleaned and baby ready and then for real we will be as ready as we can be for ze baby. So the polls are open, who thinks she'll be early? exactly on time? or late like most babies tend to be? We have one friend saying she'll come tomorrow, so let's see who's got the mama sense on these things! Hopefully it's soon cause I think my belly size doubled just today, she's getting too big for me.

Thank you again to our families who are being so awesome and coming out to see us since we can't come see you. I'm really so happy that you're all coming! And Natelyn I'm sorry I'm missing your wedding, I'm really sad to be missing the party, but I hope all of it is awesome and everything you want it to be.

A Few IPhone Photos

Thank you Much

(Haven't experienced anything this awesome personally, but it looks pretty rad)

We just wanted to thank everyone who's been so great to us with this whole baby thing we are doing. Especially our moms and sisters. It is such a blessing to have family and friends who are excited with us to have a baby and are always so willing to answer our many questions:) Thank you to those who have given us baby necessities, you've saved us sooo much money and I like that those gifts have more sentimental value then if we had just gotten them ourselves.

D-day is only a 12 days away! Although I hope she comes on the 18th so that I can hang out with our families when they come out and I can get through finals as well....Chris wants her out asap (I guess I can say I want her out too) but she's just got to hold on a little bit longer for her mom's sanity of getting her degree eventually :)

So thank you to everyone! We love you and I'll try to get Zuri here in a nice timely manor.

I love Pleasant Saturdays.

We had a nice relaxing Saturday. We woke up (after a nice sleep in...which I feel we must take full advantage of pre-baby) to a snow flurry! It was very exciting to see that weather.com told the truth, and to have a nice walk with Kelso with puffy white stuff all over the place. We watched a show and then had a sweet snuggly nap for a few hours. It was awesome to not worry about anything I must say.

Chris went to the school to take some first snow pictures

I did do something today though, cleaned house, did laundry and finished painting our livingroom. So it's finally done and I love it. We painted it a grayish blue w/ white trim. (Chris sees a hint of purple, but I think my eyes are funky and miss it). It's a huge step up from the "boat" look of being surrounded by dark wood walls, plus our Christmas tree doesn't look like it's in the forrest either! Pictures to come.

One more week of school and one week of finals and we are all done! I'm so excited for Christmas and I've been having contractions all day...which have only been practice, but it makes me feel like baby girl is closer. Chris gets super excited everytime I tell him I'm having one, it's pretty cute I can't wait to see him and baby girl together.

I hope everyone else had a great Saturday too!

Break time!

I'm so excited for this break, mostly just cause I don't have to work (although sadly Chris is working far more night shifts..the man is a tough one) and I can get a bunch of Christmas presents done. Thank goodness cause having a big family at Christmas time is intense! (and that's not including the Vial side) Chris' brother, Kevin and two cousins are coming down from their Vermont adventure to hang out with us so we'll have a big family feast with them and my sister with her family. I hope everyone else has a fabulous Turkey day as well. thank you pilgrims for coming into existence.

Four weeks from yesterday is D-day. It'd be awesome if baby girl came on time, but alas, I'm pretty sure she won't. I'll just keep saying that I think she'll be super late so if she does come early then it will be a pleasant surprise!

Pretty much what I'm trying to say is: yay for holidays and come on baby!

some awesome baby bump photos

Our friend Brinn is a shnazzy photographer and offered to take some maternity photos for us. I was super excited she did them cause she does amazing stuff. Plus Kelso is in a bunch which makes them just fabulous family portraits:) So this is one picture just for taste, the rest are on her blog, her set up is much prettier then mine so i'll let you view it there :)
