7 Weeks and Counting....

Yikes...time sure flies. We have just under 2 months left before baby Roberston arrives. Luckily, we have most things in order. We've got her room done and all the essential gear bought. We have 1 class left to take in January about what to actually do with this baby when she gets here, which should be interesting. Other than that, we feel ready (or as ready as we can feel). Right now we are just looking forward to going home for Christmas to see our family and friends. We head out Thursday evening and can't wait to get back. Hopefully all of the snow storms are done for a while in the Midwest so our trip goes smoothly. We will be in Illinois until Jan 1 and have a jam packed schedule as usual. We will get to spend time with both our family's on Christmas, Andy will get to hunt a few days and I will get to shop a few days and we will get to see all of our friends in Chicago at Katie and I's joint baby shower!! It will be so great catching up with the girls. Luckily Katie's husband, Jared will be there so he and Andy won't go crazy with all of the girl/baby talk!

Other than that, we just look froward to an entire week off of work and getting to spend time with family and friends. I hope everyone has a great Christmas!!

Baby Showers and Thanksgiving

Back in the first week of November, Andy and I headed home to Illinois for the week. Andy went hunting while I went up to Herscher to spend time with family and friends. While home, my family and Andy's family both had a baby shower. It was great catching up with everyone and was a lot of fun. We got a lot of great stuff that we really needed and a lot of gift cards so we can go and get everything that we need. I never realized how much stuff a baby actually needs!! This past weekend, my friend Emily threw myself and our friend Erin a joint shower. She is due exactly 1 month ahead of me, so it was fun having a little shower together in the neighborhood. I don't have any pics from my showers in Illinois (hopefully someone will send them to me asap), but here is some from this past weekend. While in Illinois, I also got to meet Gwennie and catch up with Molly. I stopped by her parents house in Morton when I first got to town and then we drove up to Oak Brook together at the end of the week to have dinner with Andrea and Megs. I hope my little girl is as cute and good as Gwen...she is so sweet!! It was so great to catch up with all my girlfriends! I can't wait until Christmas week when I we all get together again + Katie and some other friends for another little joint shower for Katie and I. I can't wait to see Katie's belly...she is exactly 1 month behind me!

We are making good progress on her room I will have an official unveiling after this weekend. So far we just have to put the crib together and hang up all the wall decorations. We've been very productive around the house the last 2 weekends, so a majority of the furniture is done!

I'm hoping that by Saturday we have that finished so that I can get moving on the Christmas decorating. We are having a little Holiday party December 4th so the house has to be ready to go. I also plan on making all of my Christmas cookies this weekend and hitting up some Black Friday sales....its great to be home for 4 days straight with no where to go/nothing I have to do. We do so much traveling around the holiday's its great to just relax at home this year. I just love Christmas time, so its going to be a great weekend.
