Furniture!

Well, our new bedroom furniture finally arrived! Everything fit way better than I imagined so I was very pleased! We were even sure to leave a spot in the corner for the glider and the little bed where baby will sleep and still have a good amount of room.

I threw on the comforter just for sake of the pictures so you can see!

We were so excited to get our new bed all made up and sleep in it for the one remaining night at home before we leave for Texas, but then we realized they gave us the wrong mattress. We ordered a plush and they gave us a firm. Ug. I don’t sleep so well on firm mattresses, especially now that I’m pregnant. So now we are waiting to see when we can get our correct mattress delivered. Such a hassle but I know it will all be worth it and then hopefully we can finally get a good night’s sleep! So, we will stay camped out in the guest bedroom til we get the correct mattress.

In other news, we wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! We’ll be away in Texas for a while so I’ll be sure to get lots of pictures of our trip! God bless!!

Christmas Fun

This Friday we had a fun Christmas night with Becky & Brendon. We went to a lake called Lake Phalen and they had a display of Christmas lights around part of the lake. There were some pretty impressive ones too - pirate ships, UFOs with little aliens, and a Santa playing golf.

Then after that we went to downtown St. Paul to see their lights display and big Christmas tree. There are so many lights and it really is so pretty. Unfortunately when we went it was about 12 degrees and super windy so we didn't stick around too long. We had a nice dinner with the Andersons and then headed home.

Yesterday, we went and registered for our baby boy!! It was really fun - we registered at both Target and Babies 'r Us. I'm sure we'll have lots of changes to make to our registries but we at least have a good start of the list of things we'll need. It made us both so excited for our little guy to get here and made it seem even more real for us.

Today, we've spent getting the house ready for our new bedroom furniture that is (finally) supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. We've done a lot of rearranging...I've taken a lot of pics so once we get the new furniture I'll probably make that my final post before we take off for Christmas, so be sure to check back in a few days!

I'm still about a week behind on my belly shots, but here is my 22 week Christmasy pic!
At the light display in St. Paul - burr!

Such pretty lights!
