Christmas Gifts

It has been a very busy weekend. Friday my parents came down and we all went to dinner and then Doug and my Dad headed to my grandpas to hunt. My mom and I ran to the mall. I hadnt bought any Christmas gifts and I didnt really accomplish much Friday night either. Saturday we got up and headed to one of our favorite stores, TARGET. We spent a lot of time and money in that store on Saturday. We then headed to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. I had to take breaks frequently considering I am carrying a bowling ball in my belly. ha! We went to a few other places and then thought it was time for a much needed pedicure! Boy was it awesome. I have been pretty lucky that my feet havent swelled at all. They do ache though. :(

On a different note Doug killed an 8 point deer Saturday morning so now we have to clean out our freezer to make room for the hamburger meat!

Sunday mom and I slept in as much as the dog's would let us and then we started organizing Chance's room, we washed all his 0-3 month old clothes and got them all hung up, we made his bed and washed all the sheets. The room is so cute. Mom also hung the curtain she had made and it is perfect. I still have a few finishing touches to do before I post the pics of the room. But everyone get ready it is super cute! I am so very thankful for my mom. She did so much this weekend to help me. I couldnt have done it with out her. Thank you mom. You are the best! We then went out for a few more things on our shopping list. Mom is making me some cute gowns for the hospital when I have Chance. We got the cutest fabric. I will post the pics of those when she gets them made!

Today I had lunch with Ashley! Love her! We went to Olive Garden for salad and breadsticks and then she came over to see the nursery and we exchanged Christmas gifts. :) I then went out to Target, Marshall's, Lowes and Hobby Lobby. Can we say TIRED! I have been going non-stop for the last 3 days. Tonight Doug and I exchanged gifts. He got some under armor attire and I broke down and bought him a Wii. I am crazy. He got me a molly maid gift card! I cannot wait to have my house cleaned BY SOMEONE ELSE...haha! :) Here is a pic of Stella with her Christmas gift. It really wasnt hers but she loves it so its hers now. When mom and I were organizing Chance's room she found this little "lovie" dog thing. It rattles and she takes it everywhere with her. Today she took it outside with her. So stinkin cute!

he wouldnt smile but he was really surprised by the gift. LOL. He will prob kill me for posting this pic.
This was his surprise.

Christmas Party/Shopping

Last night was our Coaches Christmas Party. Before we left Doug took a few pics of me and baby Chance by the Christmas Tree. I havent taken many prego pics so here is one and another with my Stella Bella.

This is Bode. I love this lil boy so much! I hope he and Chance are friends one day. He is the son to some of Doug and I's really good friends Stephanie and BJ. BJ is Doug's baseball assistant. He is so stinkin cute!

There is a pic of Doug and I and I am considering using it for a Christmas Card so I cant post it just yet. The party was fun. We did a white elephant gift exchange I ended up with a $20 gift card to Subway (very pleased with that) and Doug did have a bunch of lottery tickets and one of the other coaches took them! So he ended up with a Starbucks gift card. Neither one of us drink Starbucks but we'll figure out something to get there one day! :)

I did some Christmas shopping today! I got my hubby a surprise! Hope he likes it!

End to a Great Season

This weekend was a sad weekend for a few reasons. The Lagrange Leopards played a great game Sat. however fell short of a win. My dad lead the Leopards through an amazing football season and we are all so very proud of him. The game was in Midlothian therefore we saw lots of friends from Ennis and family from the Dallas area. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Leps. Another reason I say it was a sad weekend is once we all got home and said our byes to go our separate ways for the weekend and week we knew we wouldnt be doing the "football routine" again this season. Lots of emotions and tears. I guess the boys will begin their hunting season this weekend considering that is almost over as well. Here are a few pics from the game. (I got a new camera for Christmas. I new Canon Rebel. It takes 3 pics per second, it will be great with a new baby around and me taking lots of pics) Me, Mom and Robin ( I think this is a great pic of my mom and sis)

This is Dale waving at the camera with Doug and then Dad is with the team in the background. I havent bought the additional lens that zooms in close yet. We will have to invest in that maybe after Christmas. I will need it for baseball season for sure!

Here are some pics of our Christmas tree (Stella is in the background, she is not sure what to think of the new camera, ha) and our fireplace mantel. We have a stocking for Stella but it is HOT PINK ZEBRA and doesnt really go with the decor, I need to buy her a new one.

Look how sad this lonely present is. This is a present from Doug to me. I havent done any Christmas shopping yet because we have been so busy on the weekends so I have to get most of it done this weekend. I think my mom is coming to Austin to shop with me!

Today was our last child birth class. We went to the morning session and learned about epidurals and we skipped out on the afternoon class to come home and rest. Boy did we need it. Have a great week!!

Semi Finals

This is going to be a short post with a couple of pics. Just wanted to talk about how exciting it is that my Dad's football team is in the SEMI FINALS. We play this Saturday in Midlothian at 6:00 against Carthage. Should be an awesome game. Not sure I can handle another game like this past Saturday though. It was a nailbiter and when we won in overtime I jumped up way to much that baby Chance was probably wondering what the heck was happening. I couldnt help it though. :) Here are some pics from some football games.

Dad and Doug

Dale, Doug and Dad and you can see Cheeseburger in the background. Love this pic!

Doug and I had a date night last Friday. We went to PF Changs and then to Garden Ridge for a new Christmas tree. We wanted a bigger one this year to put in the living room. We have one in the dining room that is smaller too. I will take pics of them soon. So pretty! I want to leave them up year round.

We had our first Child Birth class this past Sunday (yes it was an eventful, restless weekend, but a good one). Not too sure Doug and I got what we needed from the class. He was so A.D.D. the whole class and we pretty much were off task the whole time, laughing at the this or that. We have a good time. Then we had lunch at Mr. Gattis. We havent had that in a long time! So good. Last night we had the breast feeding class. I did learn a lot in that class. I think Doug did too! haha.

I went to my 34 week dr. appt. this morning. I had only gained 1 1/2 pounds in 2 weeks which shocked me! Glad though...Chance is moving all the time, I love it and in less than 5 weeks he will be here!!

more pics to come...and this post was way longer than I intended. I better go feed Stella. I hear her groaning and crying wanting me to come put food in her bowl. Poor baby. :/
