Let the decorating begin!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas! I love everything about it! The excitement, the cheer, the decorations, the music, the smells, the food, the cooler weather (hopefully), the shopping and just the overall joy this time of year brings. I think with all that has been going on this past year, everyone needs a little hope and good cheer. I know I do! Things are tough and not looking to turn around anytime soon, so I welcome this season with open arms! I can't wait to start decorating my own place and filling it with the warmth of the holidays! =)

It's a BOY!!!!!!!!

This past Tuesday, October 14th, I had my anatomy ultrasound at St. Lukes Hospital. Giff and I both took the whole day off of work, so we could enjoy the time together! We got up early and made our way to the medical center. Baby Leu was extremely active during the ultrasound! He was tossing and turning and shaking his head every time the ultrasound machine passed over him! It was super cute! Then at one point, he put his hand to his cheek and it looked like he was waving to us! Such an amazing experience! The technician waited until the very end of the ultrasound to tell us "Oh! It's a boy!" My heart skipped a beat! I looked at Giff and he was grinning ear to ear! Such a proud daddy to be! We spent the rest of our day off going to baby stores, looking at furniture and buying cute little onesies for our little man! We had the best day! Check out what we got:

My favorite- the blue one that says "Small, Dark & Handsome." How precious is that?? Our next task, is coming up with a name. We have it narrowed down to a select few: Christian, Kevin or Brayden. Middle name possibilities are: Taylor, Alexander, Adam (after Giff's Grandpa) and Leeland (after Giff's Dad). My favorites are: Christian Taylor and Brayden Alexander. My hubby just can't seem to make up his mind. It's a big deal naming your first son! :) We hope to have a name picked out within the next week or so, so this baby doesn't have to go by baby anymore- we can call him by his name!

p.s. It has been wonderful watching Giff turn into a giddy, daddy to be......I think knowing that he will have a son in a few months has made him truly happy! I LOVE both of my boys!

Little Quirks About Me!

I have been tagged by Chrissy to share my quirks.

Here are the rules:1. Link back to the person who tagged you.2. Mention the rules on your blog.3. Tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking to them.5. Leave a comment for each tagged blogger that they've been tagged.

My quirks:

1. I don't like old people.....isn't that mean? I just can't help it! I find it so strange that someone 3X my age acts like a child. Now I know this is not true of all old people, so I guess I am only speaking of a specific type of old person. The ones who throw tantrums, and go to the bathroom in their pants and say rude things without regret. It just really freaks me out! I hope I never get old! :)

2. I CANNOT get into a messy bed. I hate the feeling of the sheets being wrinkled and scrunched up. Most of the time, my hubby and I make our bed, but there are times that we are too rushed in the mornings and it doesn't get done. But, it will get done before I get into our bed for the evening. If I ever have enough money to hire a maid, I will ask to have my sheets changed daily and the bed made to my standards! I am a perfectionist, so good luck to whoever takes on that responsibility!

3. I do not like my feet being touched.....at all. That's including pedicures and even my husband. I think it tickles! Even when my sweet husband wants to rub my feet after a long, hard day, he has to put a blanket over my feet in order to massage them. I guess I don't like the skin on skin contact. My feet must be overly sensitive! Weird....I know!

4. I LOVE LOVE LOVE lipgloss!!! If I could have it tattooed on my lips, I would! Although I haven't heard of a procedure like that yet! Anytime I get near makeup in a store, you can be sure to find me looking at the lipgloss trying to decide which one to buy! It's an obsession!

5. Public restrooms are a total nightmare to me! They are completely disgusting! I put toilet paper all over the seat, and I try not to touch anything with my bare hands. I will hold off on going to the bathroom until I get home unless there is an emergency. This has been particularly hard since I have been pregnant, because most of the time, it IS an emergency! When a pregnant woman has to go, that means now!

6. If I have a scab, I pick at it. I know, it's gross and it will leave a scar, but it drives me crazy to have a crusty piece of skin on me!

So, there we go! Those are just some of the strange things about me! :)

I am supposed to tag 6 people to share their quirks, but I believe that everyone that reads my blog has already been tagged. So, I guess this ends with me. It's been fun! :)
