So I've made the executive decision and I'm decorating for Christmas THIS WEEKEND!!! That's right...I decided that since Thanksgiving is on the 26th, leaving us with slightly less than a month to enjoy Christmas decorations, I'm decorating BEFORE Turkey Day. My husband thinks I'm crazy, I think I'm just festive!!! I'm also going to wrap up my Christmas shopping next week. I could be done now if I let myself but I can't stop thinking "gosh, this could be on sale next Friday!" So I'm forcing myself to wait and see how much money I can save ;)
Nathan know who Santa is. He talks about him quite a bit and loves when I sing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town!" We will go see him at the mall in a couple weeks and see how the face to face meeting goes...I think Nathan will like him better in books and movies than he will up close and personal. And for the first time EVER, I think I'm going to go to the parade in Corvallis the day after Thanksgiving. I've never been but have always thought it would be a fun time. So what better year than this one to go?! Anyone else going???
PREGNANCY UPDATE:
I had another appointment today. Baby sounds good, uterus is where it should be, etc, etc.
AND...I have only gained 3 pounds!!!! WOOHOO! Seriously, with Nathan, every time I went to the doctor is was at least 8 pounds. I'm working really hard this time to NOT let this happen. In fact here is what my cardio routine looks like at the gym:
20 min on Elliptical doing the Hill routine keeping my pace right around 6.0.
25-30 min on Treadmill. 3 min walk, 7 min jog, 3 min walk, 7 min jog, 5-10 min walk on incline.
I like to think this is helping. That and the fact that my body does not have any desire to eat a lot of sweets. Especially chocolate. I'm a little sad because those have always been my favorite things but happy that I don't have to worry about controlling those cravings.
OH YA...we find out what we are having on DECEMBER 16th at 9am...stay tuned for that!!!!
