Christmastime is here

My little man is really loving all the decorations :)

Welcome Back!

Shockingly I ran out of time again to keep up, and then forgot about it completely, and then when I revisited this page I remembered how much I adore writing and how having Jace has given me an entirely new world of things to write about.
Right now I'm focused on the upcoming Christmas holidays! Jace has started crawling and whenever we are in the living room he heads straight for the tree. He loves the lights and finds it absolutely thrilling to try to pull ornaments off of it. But I can't be upset because his face is so adorable as he tries (okay, who am I kidding, he succeeds) to destroy my living room.
Today I spent a few hours baking Christmas cookies. That's a family memory I was so happy to recreate today: I remember being really young and spending time at my Grandma and Papa's house helping to frost cookies that Grandma had made, then making cutout cookies with my Mom and sister every year and getting into flour wars. Jace is obviously too small to partake now, but he hung out in the kitchen with me in his exersaucer while I made mint chocolate chip cookies and M&M cookies. I think that tomorrow (technically today) I'm going to tackle making buckeyes and try a new recipe for fudgey brownie cookies!
Tonight I'm suffering from serious insomnia, which is troublesome because I'm pretty sure I work a 12 hour shift tomorrow night. Working nights at a warehouse is tough, but I keep reminding myself that it's only temporary and I'm doing it so that Jace doesn't have to be in daycare. Don't get me wrong, at the right daycare I'm sure he would be fine, but if I have the opportunity to be home with him during the day and he can hang out with daddy at night, why would I leave him with anyone else? I'm lucky in the fact that Nathan thinks the same way I do, that every moment we spend with Jace is a precious gift, and we don't want to miss one moment more than absolutely necessary.

26 Weeks (Only 14 left!)

 Well there's not too much to report this week, Nathan and I are getting ready to go back to classes, we're home from the holiday's with our families, and I've been trying to get more organized in order to make my life easier for when Jace gets here!
Everything still seems to be going very well with Jace, he's active and moving every day and still growing like a weed. Nathan has gotten to feel him move several times now, it's pretty much the best feeling in the world to share that with him.
