25 weeks

Time is coming faster and faster each week it seems like but I absolutely cant wait to get to May to meet our little angel Morgan. I feel like our list gets longer and longer but we are waiting until after all our showers before we buy anything else.

On Friday we got a snow day here and we got 5 inches of snow at our house which for Mississippi is unheard of-we dont ever get that much its been about 100 yrs since we have gotten that much just to show. It was so neat so of course I had to go take a belly pic out in the snow:)

Swing....

Well today Chad brought home a gift that included something for the baby-a swing! A coworker of his is done with her kids and wanted to give it to us. Well he brought it home and it was the exact same swing that I had picked out, what are the odds? I feel truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family:)

The only big thing left to get is a monitor other than that its all things $50 or under.

A picture of the swing its the little lamb so soft
The nursery is definitely looking like a nursery now, we just have to paint and get the crib setup and it will be all ready for Morgan Elizabeth's arrival!

She is definitely growing a lot right now I feel like my stomach is just stretching out it feels so weird nothing like it really to describe it to.

There is talk tomorrow of our district closing due to snow well see if it happens, part of me wants a day off but if we do close we will have to go in February and I think I would rather have the day then but Ill take a day off wont complain too much.

Baby Bump

Today was the first day ever that someone I did not know asked me "when are you due" I was at the local tax accessor's office renewing my tag after getting off school and the lady asked me and it blew me away. Of course I answered and she then says that her daughter is due in June and she was a teacher at a school in the same district (there is close to 30 schools in our district). Of course I had to look down at my little baby belly a few times and think wow has it grown enough that people can actually tell now...hmm I guess so. I must say its exciting a real baby bump:)

Today was the start back to school, I have one class that I hope doesnt put me into labor and 2 other classes tomorrow that will be new so hopefully they will be better:)

Oh and it snowed today-Im getting spoiled by all this snow! Already twice in December and once in January and it never snows. Supposedly its going to really snow on Thursday everyone is hoping for a snow day and we just went back..haha!

I still need to find a new layout maybe one day soon:)

Snow!

So for those who live up north and think that snow is not so cool, in the south its a rare occurance especially in Mis.sissip.pi where it snows like every 5 years but we got snow last night it was so exciting I didnt go to sleep till almost 11:30 I just wanted to stay up and stare at it all night..haha!Looking down the street we live on

Brownie trying to figure out what this snow stuff is..haha!

Our 10.5 ft Christmas tree Chad talked me into (all the ornaments are maroon and silver and then we have 2 MSU balls since we are of course true MSU fans:)

our little table (Nativity candle is in the middle we have had it for years)

I posted a 14 wk belly picture that I took last week if anyone wants to see how much the baby has grown.
