23 Weeks

Today was Thanksgiving and we had quite a long day. We spent the morning at home. Then we were off to lunch at my grandpa's and straight to dinner at John's parents. It was wonderful to be with family, but I'm ready for bed. I love this time of year, the decorations, dinners, parties, and the overall cheerfulness. I can't wait to have Hudson and start our own family traditions. I especially can't wait to take him to see Santa!

Yesterday we put up our Christmas lights and decorated for Christmas. It was so exciting to hang THREE stockings this year (yes, we already have one for Hudson). I can't wait for next Christmas when Hudson will be here and crawling around.

Tomorrow John and I are going to the Nutcracker and beginning our holiday season!

Sunday we will finsh the weekend off by going with Shelbi and Dustin to get our Christmas tree.

Tis the season!

Happy Birthday John!

Monday was John's birthday and I think that he received the best gift ever from his brother Greg. Greg had this jersey made with John's high school football number. I have to admit that I cried when I saw it. The best part is that he got it in two sizes and calculated Hudson's size/age for the next two seasons! Now that is impressive.

The past week has been fun and full of shopping and planning for Hudson. My parents were here last weekend and we got the furniture ready. I found the perfect fabric and I'm having the bedding made. I can't wait to see it in the room. Over Thanksgiving I hope to pick out the paint and get the room started.

I think that John and I both feel more connected now that we know he's a boy and we have a name. I love talking about him and he is constantly reminding me that he is here. I can feel him moving around like crazy. He definitely has a lot of energy. I can't wait to meet him!
