Ready for the New Year!

So I have not done as well as I wanted to do with blogging and I'm not sure that anyone even reads it since I don't have any followers but it was more for me to keep up with my pregnancy than anything else but I am going to try to get better! I love the idea of blogs and I love reading my friends and keeping up with their lives but I guess I just don't always know what to write! I'm sure it will be much easier once Bailey is here and there are all kinds of new things to share! I was thinking today about next Christmas and our next visit home to FL and how many things I want to do with her and all of the firsts she'll have and I got so excited! I cannot wait! It seems like everyday someone else I know pops up pregnant! I just saw two more friends on FB today posting that they are pregnant! That makes around 15 now I think! Wow!

Today was the first warm Florida feeling day we've had since we got home and I loved it! Mom and I went shopping to find an outfit for me to wear for the baby shower on Sunday. I was looking for a dress but found a pink short sleeve sweater that I fell in love with so that is what I'm wearing! I am excited for the shower!! I can't believe tomorrow is New Years Eve! We didn't make any big plans this year like we usually try to do but low key this year will be nice. 

I didn't mention yet that I got a little laptop after Christmas!! I love it! I didn't know if I would like the small one or not but it is actually very nice and I love that it is so small I can carry it anywhere! The small keyboard has been a little hard to get used to so I still watch the keys more than usual but I think I will adjust and love it!

Well time to go eat something and get ready to go watch a Magic game!

Merry Christmas!

We are in Florida for Christmas and New Years. We had a nice Christmas and I'm enjoying being home and hanging out with family! It is super cold here which is weird! I am 26 weeks now and Bailey has been very active!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We froze our tushies off today but we got all of our lights up outside! Our house looks like a little gingerbread house! So cute! I just finished Christmas cards too! I'm feeling accomplished! I have a busy week ahead but by the end of the week I should have all of my purses done and shipped out! As long as the week goes as planned that is! This past week wasn't as produstive as I had hoped when it comes to sewing but I got some other things done! I went to see Burlesque with a friend and loved it!
