Trying to get ready for our big trip back home. Coming to the realization that I have nothing to wear...which means that I have to convince my husband that we need to take a trip to Old Navy...hopefully he will agree. Considering I have been wearing sweats and comfy pants for the past month, I'm in big trouble for this trip.
I'm just hoping my winter coat I left there still fits me, otherwise I might be borrowing stuff from my mom...or walking around without a coat :)
Looks like we have a theme for Christmas Eve at Gma's...hats, or anything to wear on the head...I don't think I have anything...oh well, I'm not going to worry about it :)
Maybe I can just make sure that Nash has something to wear :)
I am really looking forward to finally seeing New Moon with Emmy, it should be fun, I will have had to wait over a month just to see it....I have a feeling this trip is going to go by really, really fast...hopefully we can soak it all in and get a chance to spend lots of time with family and friends while we are there.

Christmas Shopping
I got carried away last night with the Christmas shopping...looks like we might have to take a whole other suitcase just for the gifts :) oops! But I had fun picking out gifts for the 3 girls I had to buy for this year. Got gift cards for the guys...easy enough.
Even managed to squeeze in a Friday night workout, which is a first for me, but I have to really stick to it this week, eating healthy and drinking lots of water and trying to get to the gym or outside running everyday. I know I'm not going to be able to fit into any of my old jeans by Friday, I guess it was wishful thinking. I got upset about it yesterday for about an hour and then got over it, and not I'm just focusing on working out and eating right and I think it's going to be pretty hard while home for Christmas, but I will really try my best.
Nash is sleeping right now next to me on his Boppy pillow, Luke is sleeping upstairs and the dogs are outside bathing in the warm sun, one of their favorite things to do.
I could already use a nap and it's only 11am. Just a few more gifts to pick up and then my shopping will be done and the packing begins, I have already started a little bit, I should start making my lists of what we need to take,especially for Nash.
He is doing really good at sleeping in his crib, I am so proud of him:)
Watching one of my fav movies right now, My Best Friends Wedding...just finished a late breakfast and now going to relax until Luke wakes up.

baby steps
Nash actually slept in his crib for the first time through the night, or at least not for only 3 hours. It's the little things like that , that make me happy :)
Today I am going to go pick up the pictures that we ordered, I can't wait to see how they turned out. Tomorrow I am going to go attempt to get all the Christmas shopping done that I need too. Even though I thought we had little to get this year, it all of the sudden as accumulated to a lot, looks like I will be dipping into the savings to pay for it all this year, but that is ok:) Next week is Luke's work Christmas party which we are having out at the Starr Pass house, should be a good time, but I maybe calling it an early night with Mr. Nash. The whole exercise and weight thing is starting to bothering me now. I wish I had more time to get to the gym and it seems to be too cold right now to get outside and run, although that is really no excuse. Still have not tried on any of my jeans yet, I am really holding my breath that one pair will fit in time for our trip home, or actually in time for next Friday's Christmas party. So far Luke and I are doing pretty good with our finances considering we are only living on one pay check. I have done pretty good at budgeting and only dipped into the savings once to pay for Nash's pictures.
We had some friends come over last night, they brought Nash some very cool Colts gear, I can't wait for him to wear it.
So far he has quite a bit of Colts stuff to wear, which is good:)
I need to make some time to go up to the office so Erika can see Nash, she has been asking and I told her I would definitely get up there before we leave for Indy.
I started on Nash's Baby book, got lots of pictures developed and filled out his baby calendar as well.
I decided not to put up the Christmas tree this year, I was back and forth on it for a while, but now it is getting to be too late and since we will be gone it just seems better not too worry about this year. Next year for sure, I'm sure I will go out with the Christmas decor since Nash will be one! There are a lot of houses in our neighborhood that have decorated for Christmas which is really nice to see and this cold weather we have been having definitely makes it feel like Christmas :)
Luke might be going to days for his new schedule, which would be weird but definitely a good thing right now with Nash being here, that would also mean that we only need Maria to watch Nash two days a week, which would not be bad at all!

over due for an update
I am finally taking some time to update the blog. Baby boy Nash is a month old as of yesterday. Wow, how time flies by. He is getting so big and everyone is saying how different he is looking. Christmas is coming very soon and I have lots of shopping to get done before we take off for Indy. Very excited to see both sides of the family and to be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas day with everyone for the first time since we moved out here. It has been a long time coming, and I can't wait for everyone to meet Nash. I have been able to get back in the gym and start trying to get the rest of the extra baby weight off. The holidays are the absolutely worst time to be trying to lose weight, too many temptations right now. But I still have about 20lbs or so to go.
The weather has been pretty chilly out here right now, but I am loving it, I love snuggling up on the couch with all of my boys. Got Nash's pictures taken and are waiting for them to come in, hopefully we have them before Christmas. I feel like I should be packing now, I'm going to have to make lists of everything we need to bring. I don't even know if I have any clothes that will fit me. The maternity clothes are too big and the regular clothes are too small...and I don't have the money to be buying in "in between" clothes at this point. It's really frustrating, if I can just get into one pair of my jeans before we go home that would be great, I have been wearing sweats everyday, not that I am complaining.
Nash is doing really good, he has finally surpassed his birth weight, and all his Newborn screens came back good. Traveling with him should be interesting, hopefully all goes smooth and we don't have any major issues.
