Brain dump.

Wow, its been awhile since I've blogged.  I would like to say I have a good excuse, but the truth of the matter is I do not.  The main reason why I haven't is because of the silly game, Words With Friends.  Patrick and I have become addicted to playing and spend our nights (and any free time during the day) playing each other and our friends.  Yea, we are that exciting!  Anyway, this will be a catch up post:

• First and foremost, my little brother got engaged!!!!  Our entire family is beyond ecstatic about this because we LOVE LOVE LOVE his future wife.  Ashley & I have become very close over the past few years also and I can't wait to call her my sister-in-law.  They have set a tentative date of April 27, 2013 and we all can't wait.  They are the cutest couple and I have no doubt that the wedding will be gorgeous.  I've been so consumed with everything baby for the past few years, it will be exciting to go back to weddings for a little while.  Also, what better motivation to lose baby weight than an upcoming wedding??  I'll have a whole year so there should be NO excuses.
• I only have about 11 weeks left of being pregnant.  As I type that out, it is so hard to believe!  I have had the perfect pregnancy and I am so incredibly thankful for that.  I was swelling last week and began to think the worst...(I really need to post a picture of just how swollen I was with Mallory), but this week it is better if not almost gone.  Honestly, I have never felt better than I have during this pregnancy with Hadley.  The next two months may be different, but the first seven have treated me well!  Poor thing still does not have a decorated nursery though which leads me to my next bullet...
• Pinterest has given me some great ideas for the girl's rooms.  However, I really wish I could sew and had more time to do all the neat ideas that I pin.  Mallory's room is complete except for pictures on the walls and window treatments.  I keep meaning to take pictures on the weekend during the daylight, but I haven't even picked up my camera in about a month.  Dang, words with friends!!  Poor Hadley still has no bedding (unless she uses Mallory's which I might do because I haven't found anything I really love).  I would love to get something custom made, but I'm pretty sure I've waited too long for that!  So basically, I have 11 weeks to find bedding, window treatments, wall decor, get it all put together, get out all the baby stuff we have packed away like swing, bouncy seat, car seat, etc.  Oh my, I'm getting stressed just thinking about it all!
• My goal this weekend is to post some updated house pictures.  We have finally hung some pictures and done some decorating, but there is still SO MUCH left to do.  I need to find a money tree.  Stuff is expensive and I am not good at being thrifty, although I am trying to learn.  I still want pictures though, even though the house feels incomplete now I will be able to look back and see the progress that was made one day.  Maybe. 

That is about all my brain can handle after 10 pm on a weeknight.  I'm going to be a better blogger in February, promise!!
