emotional. tired. christmas. BABY!

i am emotional. and tired. that pretty much describes everything that is going on with me right now. it's an up and down fight at this point. just ask kyle. poor guy. when i'm not sleeping, i'm trying not to fall asleep. when i'm not doing one of those two things, i feel like crying for no reason or i am extremely excited about life. it's one or the other. poor kyle.

this weekend we were pretty lazy. although we did manage to put the Christmas tree up on Friday night after i got off work. that was fun. we let mariah and caitlyn put the ornaments on. it was entertaining. mariah was very good about making sure every spot was covered and that caitlyn did NOT put ornaments on her side of the tree. caitlyn, however, had a little trouble with knowing where to put her ornaments. they were all in one spot. in a clump. it was so cute. i helped her out a little bit and moved them around. our tree is really pretty and classic looking, with different colored shiny ornaments, all the little ornaments we used to decorate with at our wedding, white lights, classic candy canes, silver garland with snowflakes on it, and a couple of strings of little red beads. i think it looks beautiful and i would love to have it lit up all day long. after we put the tree up, we watched elf and talked about Christmas plans and what the girls want for Christmas. it was a really fun night.

oh, we told the girls about clumpy on thanksgiving day and i completely forgot to mention that in the last post. they were kind of excited, but were a little worried about where he is going to sleep. also caitlyn is just positive that clumpy is kicking me too much already. i keep telling her that he doesn't have legs yet, but she doesn't can't catch on to that idea. she does love clumpy though. she told me ALL weekend long. :) it's great. i think mariah is excited about the baby, but she doesn't really know how to show it. i mean, she already has three younger siblings so it isn't really new or fun for her. its just someone else to share us with. not exactly a great thing. i think it will be better though when she is able to see clumpy and hold him. oh little clumpy...only 35 and a half more weeks...that is a LONG time.

i am really anxious for our appointment with the doctor. i would like to know an actual due date, because right now we are just going by what the computer says. when we go in to the dr., i should be 6 weeks and 6 days along. they like to see you anywhere from 7 to 8 weeks, but we couldn't do that with kyle's days off and christmas, so we are going just a little early and i am 100% okay with that. i am so ready to go.
