I haven't posted any pictures lately, so I wanted to update you all and show you whats been going on in my life!!

Mr. C and I on Thanksgiving!! about to eat some great food with great people!

My Mom and I.. check out that baby bump I am sporting~! hahaha

My belly at 17 weeks.. I think it looks small here, in real life I swear its bigger!

Hope you all enjoyed the quick updates.. I am headed to bed! Night all!!

Holiday Recap

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!! I did.. thank goodness!! Mom, Mr. C, and I spent the first half of our holiday at my granddaddy's house, and then the second half at Mr. C's house. I was very thankful that my mom came to be a part of his family and she ended up really enjoying herself!

Now it is time to start the Christmas festivities... and I can not wait!!
Mom and I finished decorating the Christmas tree yesterday.. and I believe we are going to be doing Mr. C's tree as soon as his mom gets back in town from New Jersey. This is my favorite time of year, and I am already listening to the Sirius Christmas station in my car every day! :o) It just puts me in the best mood!

I am thinking about changing my blog..either keeping this one as a second one, or deleting it and starting all new. I want to change the title "ABCs and polkadots.. to something more baby friendly, because honestly I am going to be focusing more on that, sorry blogger friends, but still posting my regular ramblings too.

So here I am asking you for advise.. what should I do? Any awesome blog names that you can think of? I NEED HELP PLEASE!!

Thanks

Stress Out Post..forgive me

What a busy time of the year. I don't know if you all are feeling the pressure, but I sure am!!
I am not ready for anything right now.. and I am trying not to get stressed out because everyone keeps telling me its not good for the baby. Well.. it's hard to do when you have so much on your plate.
(I am getting ready to vent... if you do not wish to read.. stop now)
1. Brodie's birthday is tomorrow and I am trying to get everything ready for it.. and I am not ready yet.
2. Thanksgiving is going to be quite different this year, I am a little nervous about how the family is going to get along.
3. Not a lot of money to spend on the bunches of Christmas presents I need to get.. hoping it will all work out some how.
4. NEED A JOB before I Have no more money.
5. need my family to get along and accept things that are out of there control before I loose my mind.. or other things that are very important to me.
6. Need a place to live, Mr. C and I really need to get things ready for this baby!
7. I find out what the baby is on Dec. 15th! Only 3 more weeks.. and I really don't know if I can wait that long.. I am dying to know..
8. Everyones stresses are stresses me out and I can only take so much. I have enough stress from myself.. I wish everyone else would stop burdening me.
9. I wish everyone could love one another.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I WILL be more positive in my next post. I promise. Thank you all who stuck it out and read the whole vent session, I really appreciate it!
I hope to do a "what I am thankful for post" once I calm down.. because right now, I am having a hard time getting those words out, though LORD I am thankful for so much!
More to come later!

New Season, New amazing dancers

HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL!

Wednesday.. Hump Day

It is definitely the "hump" of the week. I keep struggling with the fact that I can NOT find a good job. I have to keep praying that the lord will put me in the right place at the right time, but Lord I really need that time to be now!
With a baby on the way, Mr. C and I are looking to get a place together, moved in, and settled before the little one gets here. So much stress!!
And now Christmas is right around the corner. I feel like this is going to be a hard holiday season!

I am trying to make myself feel better by baking a nice pan of brownies to cheer me up!

Hope you are having a good Wednesday!

..whirlwind..

WOW. November is here and I have not written ya'll a post in over a month! I am sorry to say life has been a whirlwind, with no time to chat. Finally, here I am trying to catch you up on things going on in my little corner of the world.
Currently I am 13 weeks and counting the days until I can find out if I am carrying a boy or girl inside this tummy (that seems to be growing!) I am starting to feel my pants become tighter! Yikes!
At least now that I have made it into my second trimester, I am no longer singing the "morning sickness" blues anymore! :)
