21 weeks!

We are in the countdown for Christmas! 11 days til Christmas and I really need to get in the Christmas spirit! Maybe with it snowing now, it'll motivate me to do something.  I have a million projects that I want to do, and with Trevor having 3 weeks off of school, I am hoping he'll help me! I am SO excited for him to finish this semester!!! Which then means he only has 3 semesters left!  Its funny, as a missionary we lived and counted our time as transfers, and now its in semesters...how do normal people count down or classify time? I feel like I haven't lived a normal life in forever without something determining a time period! Well, that's me thinking aloud!

My cute munchkin! Love this little guy!

On to fun things! Me and Trevor finally joined the Apple world!  Our droid phones knew it was time to bite the dust, and we're lucky they lasted us through our 20 months!  We are happy to let Ryker throw those phones as much as he wants because now we don't have to deal with them anymore!!! YAY!   I am in love already, and I barely know how to work the thing!  :) I do know how to use the camera so I snapped a pic of my favorite little man!  He is growing up SO fast and is learning a few new words everyday! Last night we saw a Santa balloon and he yelled out "Saaannnnaa!" How fun!

Did not like the guy in the Santa suit!

The lighting in this pic
makes Trev
look like an alien! haha.

We also went to Hemming Village's Christmas shindig and got to take a sleigh ride...well without snow, it was a carriage ride, but none the less, Ryker enjoyed seeing the horses! We took some pics in the free photo booth and then stopped to visit Santa.  Haha, as you can see, Ryk was less than excited to sit on Santa's lap.  I didn't think about it til after that I probably should've sat with him, but sitting on a weird man's lap would make me squeamish too!   It probably didn't help that this was during his naptime...but we wanted to do something fun with him other than just look at lights through car windows.  We'll have to try again a little later. 

21.5 weeks and counting!

As for me and the pregnancy...its going as expected.  I love feeling baby girl move and I am just EXCITED as ever to make some cute things for her and Ryker. I made these cute skirts and ties for my friend who is having a baby boy about a month before me.

As for names? Well, we've made list and on that list our favorites are Brynlee/Brinlee (we're still not agreeing with the spelling), Emery, and Kalai.  I guess it'll probably change again a few times, but as of now...those are the top picks.  

I feel good.  I'm still trying to deal with migraines and the occasional restless nights.  Its definitely a different pregnancy for me in that she sits A LOT lower than Ryker did.  I've had some weird cravings like chocolate cake and pickles, or sloppy joes with peanut butter.  Although I didn't do the last one cause I didn't want to gross Trevor out, it just sounded good.  I only craved cucumbers with Ryker so this is new thing for me.

Also, Ryker won the Cutest Kid Contest over at Ashley MacKay Photography!  Trevor was so competitive, I've never seen him so excited about it!  I called it his scab cause he just kept at it! (Gross analogy but true!)
We are so excited because now we'll have a free photo shoot for when baby girl gets here!  I regretted not doing it with Ryker last time, so I'm glad we get the chance to do it this time!  Thanks for all your help and votes! We really have such a great group of friends who posted links for us to help us! We definitely couldn't have done it without all the help!

Well, I should probably go work on one of my 10 Christmas projects that I started.  Everyone be careful out there...just witnessed a wreck from my window!
