Here ya go...

I figure its about time for an update.
December:
I graduated and Brandon finished his 3rd semester in law school- officially half way done. Yay! Christmas break was great. We spent lots of time with family, ate lots of yummy food, played lots of fun games, and spent lots of time being lazy- well I did at least :) We also had a great Christmas- we mostly got stuff for Abbie (more about that later)- and of course I didn't take any pictures. I am sure that will change when Abbie comes!

January:
Brandon started school again, and turned in his huge 'thesis' paper- so glad that's done! He also is now on the Law Review Journal board as some kind of editor. So, he has been pretty busy lately. It's been kind of hard for me with him gone all the time because now that I am done with school I am home a lot and get bored easily. I am substituting at my mom's school, which has been great, but its not a regular schedule- usually only about 2 days a week. So, I have tried to be better about keeping the house clean- although looking at it right now, I would say that I am failing. I also try to find little projects to keep me busy. My first project was putting together Abbie's room. Here are some pictures: (sorry the lighting is really weird)

Crib with the cutest bedding :)

I love the window curtain!

changing table and drawers for her clothes
(that greenish thing is the bassinet temporarily put there)

magnet board- her first picture :)

Ok, back to the update. Oh, I am actually going grocery shopping making meals again- which Brandon is really happy about :) I have also been reading, doing lots of puzzles, walking on the treadmill, and going to the Temple more.
One huge draw back about this whole pregnancy thing is the lack of sleep I am getting, simply because I can't get comfortable and I toss and turn all night. Oh and the fact that I have to get up like 10 times to go to the bathroom. Basically I am just really anxious and kind of getting impatient for her to come. Unfortunately I still have 5 more weeks- which feels like forever! Oh and here is a picture at 35 weeks- today:
Anyway I think that's everything. Here is a bonus picture of Brandon being the hard worker that he is!

Abbie Therese Crowther

The title makes it seem like she's already born, so I apologize if it misled anybody. Nevertheless, our daughter can now be born because her indecisive parents finally decided on a name for her. And I am 99% sure that we are sticking with it. A few things to note:

1) Her name will in fact be Abbie, not Abigail.

2) Therese is pronounced "Teresa." It is Christy's middle name and a well-used family name. But I still have no idea why it is spelled the way it is.

I'm pretty sure this blog will become a whole lot more interesting once Abbie makes her debut sometime in March (due date: March 1st). For one thing, we will actually have something interesting to blog about (and interesting videos to post). For another, our sleep deprivation will probably make for some fun times and poor grammar. And who doesn't like to laugh at other people's grammar? :)
