oh, the holidays.

last week we had our official "find out the gender" with our doctor,
and she's definitely still a girl! ;) we got to see her on 3D which was fun,
and i just think she is the dang cutest thing ever. (spoken like a true mother, no?)
and besides me passing out at the appointment... thanks to my really good circulation,
and me freaking out (silently) about the umbilical chord being so close to her neck already,
it was so fun to see her. she has such a fun little personality!

this was a big week.... (week 22)
jord FINALLY got to feel her move! he loved it. they are still little, but he definitely felt 'em.
and then last night when i was feeling her, i thought, "if i can feel her kick my hand a little bit, i should be able to see her move, right?". So i watched my tummy for a solid 5 minutes and then BOOM! a little bump came up. it was so exciting! I called jord over, and then we watched for a few more minutes until she kicked again and he saw! it was so funny, and so exciting. i love these moments between the three of us ;)



 ...................................................

its beginning to look alot like christmas..

around our house!

i needed a break from studying for finals, so i put up the last of our christmas decor up last night.
i LOVED pulling out my christmas boxes because every year, the day after christmas,
my sisters and I go out to the "after-christmas sales"...
and it was like christmas getting to pull out all my new stuff from last year,
that i forgot i even bought. it was awesome!








and our sweet little manger...



and i finally finished our tree. 
we went a bought a real one this year, and oh man... its smells divine!
but my christmas spirit was almost ruined again by the blasted lights.
(they are the nightmare of christmas!)
so pardon the holes, i just couldn't take it anymore.



and then i made jord join in on the decorating...
the man decorating, if you will.
we have never done lights on our town house, so i decided this was our year.
and i love it!



now its back to the grind of endless studyin'..
