Pregnancy Suprises

I know that all of you parents or parents to be will understand my post, but I just had to laugh out loud tonight.

I had made beef stew in the crock pot for dinner today. I was craving homemade rolls (like rolls you get from the pie dump). So I dug out the cook books and started looking for a fast solution to help fix a craving that I knew wasn't going away! I made a huge batch and waited patently as they doubled in size. I rolled them out, and made a whole cookie sheet of rolls! I was so excited about the perfect rolls I had just made! I had another half of dough that still needed to be rolled out, so I decided to make some cinnamon rolls too! Not only am I getting the rolls I want, but now I am getting the dessert that I think I want too!!! Jason is just laughing at all the flour and dough all over the kitchen. So anyway everything comes out of the oven and smells delish! i can't wait to eat! It's like the anticipation leading up to Thanksgiving, I dig in! I get about 1/2 of the first roll down my throat and then decide, maybe that wasn't what I really wanted... I finished the other half, but Jason is going to be eating a few of those this week!!! :) the cinnamon rolls are still sitting on the counter, and I haven't really wanted to dig in for fear that I spent all that time and effort, for baby moose to decide that he doesn't really want that! The joys of being pregnant! Baby moose- Please let mommy eat what she thinks she wants! It will keep her happy!!!

Brrrrrrr!!!!!

We are freezing up here!!! The weather has taken a nose dive, and currently we are sitting at a very chilly -45 degrees below zero! I can't wait for the spring months to get here. I want some sunshine, flip flops, and this baby boy to arrive! Sometimes I wonder why I like it here?!?!
Our Holiday season was nice. Christmas day we went to some friends house for dinner. We had a great time. We love all the friends we have made up here. It makes it easier when family isn't around! Jason and I really got some good relaxation time. Santa delivered a new rocking chair for me and baby and I love it already! There were lots of presents for all of us, and we all got spoiled!!!
Baby Major AKA- "Moose" (he has a nickname now!) is doing well. We are still working on a name, but we decided on a nickname. Jason actually picked it :) Boy does he move a lot, and he has finally turned around a few times. For the longest time, he was head down and right in my hip. I swore he did that just so he could push on my ribs with his feet! He may be little but I think he is pretty strong! We are over half way! I look like I swallowed a balloon! I can't believe how fast time has flown! We are starting to get the nursery ready. Jason has all the logs ready for the crib, and I have my mom making the bedding set, I have most of the shelves and decor picked out, but we need to just put it all together.I will post pictures once we have something done! I have been working on my registry, but its hard to know what you need and what is just a waste. So if anyone has suggestions on what is a necessity please let me know!!!
