30 Weeks & A Full Weekend

I have to admit, I am getting more nervous this week. I know I only have about 9 weeks to go. Things that make me nervous is delivering early and the other thing I'm worried about is being prepared and having our health insurance change January 1st.  I just want to make sure things get transitioned as smoothly as possible considering my due date would be the next month. I am not having a hard time sleeping yet but I do have to use the restroom a lot more! So I will wake up around midnight or 2am. I know that is expected at this time in my pregnancy.

One day this week I started to feel winded or dizzy so I laid on the couch for a few minutes. That was from doing squats! LOL. I will do squats almost every day just to keep my legs strong and I never got that reaction before. So when I was laying down, I started to get emotional and cry! Over what? I don't know. I just felt like I needed to let out a good cry. Maybe it was from all the worries. That's hormones for you! I don't think I ever cried for no reason.

Cravings: Donuts and spiced cider! Spiced cider because I always want that during the holidays and donuts, because well... they're donuts. LOL.

I am getting along just fine though. I enjoy having Violet in my belly :). She rolls around in there a lot. I'm already in love with her and makes me wonder how protective I'm going to be when she arrives.

 

 Weekend full of celebrations!

 

If I haven't said it before I will say it now. I love the company that I work for. They really do spoil us. Friday was our 'Profit Share' (Bonus Day) and each department gets creative with their theme. Ours was "The Money Team" We had to dress gangster because they would lease expect our department to be that way!

My boss with the security guys.

Saturday was a Christmas party but a pajama party with friends. We did a Secret Santa and White Elephant. We also beat the guys twice at Pictionary. ;)

 

 



 

Here's what Oliver and I got for our White Elephant Gift LOL.

 





Sunday was very busy. Full day of babies! My friend's daughter turned one. How time flies! First I went to her daughter's birthday and it turned out really nicely! Adalyn is a doll.

 

 



Later that day I went to San Diego, for one of my good friends welcome home party/ baby shower. Dianne and her husband has been in Ireland for 2 years and she brought back a precious little girl Isabella. I was so excited to see them! I'm so happy now that she's back!

 

We finally got the Christmas tree up! My mom doesn't 'do' fake Christmas trees LOL. She likes the real thing. I can see why she enjoys it so much because of the smell and it's fresh. Me on the other hand, I'd rather buy a fake one with the lights in tacked and save money. But we love it.

 

 

I'm so happy the holidays are here but hate that they go by so fast! But I know it will be extra special next year with Violet to celebrate with.
