38 weeks . . . & xmas traditions . . .

#38 weeks . . .

i thought i would never see that number coming

it's the MOST surreal thing to me

especially as the due date is getting closer

right now i'm feeling very very anxious

to meet him

& to have absolutely everything ready for his arrival

from hospital bag . . . to outfit . . . to car . . . to home . . . even to his name

so many people ask

"have you thought of any names?"

which is totally fine asking

i don't mind

BUT

honestly . . . i have had the hardest time coming up with a name for this lil boy

to name your very own blood line

it's a lot of pressure

we have some names we really like but i have to see him & hopefully one will click

right now i am also feeling quite uncomfortable 

which is normal . . . right?!

maneuvering around is tough

from getting in bed to getting out

from getting into the car to getting out of the car

from picking up something off the floor 

to getting up from the floor

seriously . . .

i'm officially a penguin 

but its so hard to sleep

my hips

my hips

oh my womanly voluptuous hips

they go numb in like 15 minutes from sleeping on each side

i'm ready for that to go away

truly though . . .

being pregnant is the most magical & amazingly miraculous thing any woman can go through

we feel so blessed to be chosen to be his mumma & daddy

2 weeks ! ! ! 

were going nuts over here cause were all so excited

especially since it's the first grandkid on both sides of our families

to my sweet baby boy,

we are awaiting your entrance into this world

the feelings between your mumma & daddy are unexplainable

we are so over joyed 

to become a family with you

love . . . love me do

you know i love you

so pleeeease . . .

love me do!

our yearly lil family christmas traditions

as a child i grew up with my own mini tree in my room

i made my own decorations

& strung the lights on it

it made my whole childhood so magical for christmas

& was a fantastic night light

(i'm afraid of the dark, even to this day. . . yeah i know)

every year since we have been married(4)

we go out into the wondrous white land

or across the street 

haha shhhhh . . .

& scout out the perfect bare branch

why a bare branch?

cause they are just as beautiful to me as a lively green leafy branch

we had bare branches i painted white at our wedding reception

trees are very meaningful to josh & i

ever since "our" beginning

we found this huge long branch thats about 8 ft long

we bring it home & hang it above our bed or put it in a corner

then we string lights on it

& put very simple glass ornaments on the limbs

i love the look

the ambiance in our room is both romantic & jolly

makes us feel little again

the spirit of christmas is definitely thrown up in out home

i'll be posting more images 

of our merry home soon

so stay tuned. . . 

ps. i have been crafting it up everyday . . . i swear

just to keep my mind off of 

wanting to go into labor

& meeting our mini  mr. wright

we love our pocket & monday

soooo much

we know that they're both going to be great with him

i know they can't wait to meet each other!

here is the end result of the branch . . . 

we chose it to be above our bed

don't worry 

josh screwed that thing in so tight

it's going know where

isn't it pretty! oh so pretty!

our favorite color is green

i found these simple blown glass ornaments couple years back at crate & barrel

bonus: they were on clearance

some of my favorite ornaments i have!

family christmas traditions that are past down are so much fun

but creating your own . . .  for your new family

it's pretty cool if i do say so myself

we'll probably have a branch like this in each of my kiddies rooms one day . . .
