Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

So I’m a few days late posting my 36 week belly picture…

Can’t believe we’re so close now and I am definitely nesting…feeling a little overwhelmed with all of the things on my “to do” list that must be done before the baby gets here.  And you’ll be happy to know that we do have a short list of names now…no final decision has been made, but we are getting closer.

Here’s a picture of my wonderful friends who threw me an awesome baby shower a few weekends ago…

And just a few random pics of my sweet boy…showing off his big boy bed here…

Wearing a cowboy hat just like Woody…

Playing with his cars and blocks…

Sporting his homemade superhero cape…(seeing Cohen do this brought back so many memories of my little brother running around with his homemade capes on!)

That’s all for now!  Will keep you posted on baby news!!

Well, it’s already the new year but I feel like I can’t get moving forward in blog land until I get the pics posted from all of our Christmas fun.  So, here it goes…

For those of you that aren’t on Facebook, I really got the urge to unleash my inner Bakerella this year.  If you aren’t familiar with Bakerella, you should totally check her out…FABULOUS!!  Here is my attempt at snowman and reindeer cake pops…

I had to work on Christmas Eve but we had planned to leave for New Mexico early Christmas Day.  As you all know, the weather had different plans for us…SNOW!!!  And in the land where it hardly ever snows there aren’t snow plows and such to clear the roads…we were delayed several hours while we waited on things to clear up.  Still took us 4 1/2 hours to get from our house to Abilene…normally a 2 hour drive!  While we killed time we took advantage of the opportunity to get Cohen out and play in his first snow…

The portable DVD player we got Cohen for Christmas was a life saver on the LONG trip!!

We finally arrived in New Mexico and began our Christmas celebration.  This year’s theme was HOLLYWOOD…and what would a HOLLYWOOD Christmas be without a celebrity costume contest!?  The celebrities on the guest list included Madonna, The Blues Brothers, The Incredibles, Wonder Woman, Dale Evans & Roy Rogers, and last but not least…Tom Cruise from Risky Buisness…

Just a random pic of my cutie…

One of the best gifts from our Christmas Eve gift exchange was a Snuggie…which my sis wore with pride!

Christmas morning was lots of fun and Santa didn’t disappoint…he brought Cohen the Tony Romo helmet he had been begging for…

Cohen & Ponga showing me their best football faces…LOVE this picture!!

There was no shortage of presents for this little guy…we almost didn’t make it home with all of them for lack of space!

When Cohen wasn’t playing with his helmet or toys…he was suckering GranZ to take him in the hot tub.  Poor GranZ was a prune from being in there so long, but the kids absolutely loved it.  Cohen was begging to so swimming on Sunday morning before church and we told him once church was over he could go swimming…well, as soon as the amen was said on the closing prayer he turned to GranZ and said, “Now we can swim!”  It was too funny…

We had plans to go to Ruiodoso after our HOLLYWOOD Christmas, but the weather once again changed our plans.  We ended up meeting Opa, Oma, Nanny, Larry & Judy in Roswell for the third of our four Christmas celebrations.  I unfortunately didn’t get any pictures while we were there of the family…just one of Cohen holding up one of his presents…

After leaving Roswell, we headed to Big Spring to see my dad & Malinda and to have the last of our Christmas celebrations.  We arrived there so late I didn’t get my camera pulled out at all.  However, as soon as we arrived home the first thing we had to do was put together the cozy coupe car my dad had gotten for Cohen.  He loves it…

It was a whirl wind trip, but tons of fun!  Next year we’ll be having a Christmas Fiesta!!

Happy New Year to all…hope yours is fabulous!!

We have been having tons of fun lately enjoying all of the things the holiday season brings.  We started off by going to a local toy store to see Santa and one of his reindeer.  Seeing Santa didn’t go so well, but Cohen did enjoy looking at the reindeer.  He kept saying “it won’t eat me.”  No, baby…it won’t eat you…

Christmas cards are tons of fun to get in the mail, especially when they sing AND light up…

Oh my goodness…only 8 more weeks or so to go and we’ll have another baby in this house!  I’m SO not ready…so much to do between now and then, but can’t really do anything until the holidays are over.  These last few weeks are going to FLY.

Here is my 32 week pregnant belly…

We had a sonogram this past week at my OB appointment because the baby measured small last time we were there.  All looked good though and he’s right on track weighing in at 3 lbs 15 oz.  He’s got a big head just like Cohen…it was kind of funny to see.  He was also moving his mouth constantly just like Cohen…not sure I can handle two jabber boxes around.  Guess we’ll see what he’s really like once he’s born!

I’m finding myself wanting to spend as much time with just Cohen as I possibly can now.  I know it’s all going to change in a few short weeks to never be the same again.  Trying to soak up all of the little Cohen and mommy moments that I can.
