It's all closing in...







So much is closing in...
...pregnancy.
..Christmas.
....the year 2020.

Pregnancy...
My baby was breech...and I was scheduled to have a c-section yesterday.
I went in for a final ultrasound and to our great surprise..the baby flipped!
The surgery was canceled...and here I am...playing the waiting game now.
Ha! It was both a relief...and not. 

I have always had my babies early....
...so now I'm six days away from my due date and I'm feeling late..even though I'm not.
Today would be a great day to have a baby...don't you think? Ha!


Christmas....
My plan this early morn was to finish up my wrapping.
However...the kids are all still asleep...and all the presents are up in my closet..stuck in the quiet.

As soon as I finish typing this up..I will make yet another batch of cookie dough...
...because you can't ever bake too many Christmas cookies!


The Year 2020....
I can't believe we're coming up on another new year.
What oh what will 2021 bring to us.

I'm not sure...but what I do know is God is still on the throne and even though I 
have my fears and doubts...I shouldn't. You shouldn't! 

HaPpY Christmas week to you...enjoy all of the baking and wrapping and caroling and holiday movie watching and celebrating and great food and Christmas lights.
Hopefully I'll be back soon with a new baby...:)


XxOo

Just..Hi. {small hand wave}


Hi.
Our house is now covered in Christmas. I love it!

We are awaiting a baby..sometime within the next two-ish weeks...
...it came up so fast and everyone here is quite excited!
I should probably get the blankets and onsies washed.

You can usually find a pot of cranberry and cinnamon burning on our wood stove.

I miss the days of people blogging simple...the stream of photos as you scroll down
and their days happenings....how they are doing and what they're making for dinner.
Social media has turned into so much more...and whilst I do love it...it's more complicated and
so much bigger than just sharing the everyday life. 

It is way, way...WAAAAY too warm and nice around here for December!
I want snow. I want this now weather to happen in March...
...and I want the snowstorm that is inevitable and will happen in March to come this month! 
Sigh.Wink.

Fourteen month olds are so, so, sooooo much fun!
Even though they're busy little bees that break ornaments and empty spice and towel drawers.
 





















Happy Midweek to you.
XxOo
