SLEEP!!!

I have been getting sleep! This is fantastic! Little Jax has been sleeping about three and a half to four hours at night! This is fantastic. I know that I now have probably jinxed myself but the past three nights have been amazing! Only having to get up about once a night makes a huge difference in everything! Jake has gotten over a fear as well, which I won't mention, and this is day 2 and he has kept it going! I am stoked! I do not want that to jinx at all!

I have been in such a mommy fog that I didn't realize Christmas is next weekend. Yikes. I still have a few last minute things to get but all of our big things are done. We have about 5-6 things coming in the mail between tomorrow and Tuesday that will have to be wrapped up but we are good to go! We have 3 people that we still have to buy for. One is a gift card and the other two, well, we are hounding them tonight when they come over for dinner. I need to know these things! Seriously people!

Christmas cards are done and done! I left the stamps in the car so I have to wait till Michael gets home to finally finish them but they are stuffed, addressed, and ready to go. I am so thankful my parents were able to come over on Monday and take some quick photos for us. We needed to get an updated family photo obviously since it has changed in a week. I am so grateful they were able to do that! I don't look the greatest but hey, Jake and Jax are the ones that matter! It's extremely hard to get a photo of Jake too. Trying to contain a 3 year old for a photo is ridiculous. We got a few though! 

I have a scarf to knit but honestly, I think that will take only about 4 hours to do. It's only two colors and we have some down time this weekend so I will be getting my knit on! Which reminds me that I need to find the other spool of yarn that I need. Crap. I need to go digging for that. I had it two weeks ago, but that was before chaos exploded at our house. I am hoping that I can get a few things cleaned up too. I feel like I haven't been able to clean at all lately. It is really irritating! I enjoy and take pride in a clean house. I hate having things out of place. Once Christmas is over that will help in many ways. The piles of gifts and being able to take the tree down will help like crazy. I have a feeling I am taking it down a lot sooner then I have ever before. I am talking the day after Christmas. All this baby stuff is eating up our house!

First Christmas celebration kicks off this weekend! I am so excited! I need to get back in the mood. I have been so excited for it and since I have been off work, well, my Christmas spirit has gone down. Mainly because I am not out and about doing normal things I would have been. I need to blast the music and start baking! I think Jana, Becky, and I need to have a bake day while she is here! HA! 1 day!!! Ok that is my excitement coming out! Jana gets here in 1 day and I'm a little excited!

Since Jax is asleep, I better get my wrapping done!
