Christmas is booked!

I just booked our flight home for Christmas this year...got a pretty darn good deal too. We will have a whole week home to visit with friends and family and make the rounds with little Nash.
It should be nice. In a matter of 5 days I managed to buy the nursery furniture and book our flight, both things of which I have been stressing over for a while now because of cost. But overall we do good and I made some good decisions.
Now we will just have to see how smoothly flying with a newborn can really be. Hopefully I don't get too stressed out. I feel like the fact that I have flown with Brewski has some what helped me to prepare for this, as weird as that sounds. Brewski is practically a baby himself. I so wish the dogs could go back with us, it would be so great if they could. But I know they will be in good hands with Joe at least for this year. As for the future, it's hard to say exactly what we will do. Thanks goodness Christmas is once a year. We may have to alternate years on when we come home and when we stay here. Sometimes I think about all the money I have spent on air travel, I can't even imagine what it would total up to. I'm just really excited for Christmas, it will be good times, especially since we will be able to make all the rounds on both sides of the family this year, it's gonna be crazy, but so worth it.
And then we will come home New Years Eve and we will have to get ready to go back to work, at least part time for a while until we can work out all the details with our schedules and see if daycare is going to have to be a necessity. I'm such a planner, always thinking way in advance. I think that is definitely a good thing. I don't handle surprises well at all.
So besides of course the birth of Nash, we have a few more big things coming up. Luke's birthday, our 1 year anniversary, Luke's family coming out for Joe's graduation, and Thanksgiving. So the next few months and after are going to be busy, busy.
