Pregnancy Week 39

This week I had a a little excitement  I hit a Mom's Night Out early in the week at the bowling alley, nothing like watching a pregnant lady bowl. Then, later in the week I had a ladies night with some of the girls I used to work with. We hit a Lebanese restaurant, where I had the opportunity to do some belly dancing! Fun week!

Pregnancy Week 38

I really wish I had some exciting new to talk about this week but again it has been a fairly quiet week. Jason and I continue to work as we anticipate the arrival of our new guy. If you want excitement, I can tell you that I attended book club this week along, we picking up an extra shift at work on Valentines Days (I know I am a romantic). Jason and I also got a date night!

We are finally in the home stretch! I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy has progressed, I am finally at my week OBGYN appointments. Joesph got to have a sleepover at Aunt Jackie's house, which gave Jason and I a nice weekend kid free before we turn into a family of four! I can't wait to meet out new baby!

Pregnancy Week 36

This has been a quiet week for the Christine family. Jason and I have been busy working and preparing for the arrival of the baby. I have created a list of things that need to be done before I go into labor! But other than working towards completing the list, we have not been that busy.

Pregnancy Week 35

This has been another slow week. Even though I have a huge list of things to do before baby arrives, I have not completed many of those tasks. I have been busy working at the restaurant and the high school. Jason's Mother had a hip surgery this week and most of our family has been slowly recovering from colds, but other than that it was  good week. This afternoon we will be celebrating Jason's Dads Birthday. I did have an OBGYN appointment this week, again things seem to be progressing well. I have gained about 30 pounds to this point!

Why: I wanted everyone to see that it was Winter during this pregnancy!

Pregnancy Week 34

This has been a pretty uneventful week. I have been working to get Joe's big boy room ready, but other than that it has just been all work and no play! I think I like this peaceful time.

Pregnancy Week 34

Who: This is me and my big cantaloupe.

What: It looks warm but the weather if FREEZING! Why did I decide to take pictures outside?

Where: Week 34

Beer Christmas Tree

I really wanted to get this post up before the holidays but it was so crazy around here, it did not happen. But I did want to share my Beer Christmas Tree creation that I made for a friend of ours for Christmas. Keep in mind this tree was not only made from beer and nuts (every mans dream), but it also had working lights on it!

Merry Christmas!
Christmas Tree made out of a case of beer.

I started with a plastic serving platter ( i reinforced with cardboard). Then I found a circle box and a solo cup to create the different layers. I put the circle box in the center of the tray and placed beer all around. I keep the beer together with a ribbon. Then I placed the solo cup in the center of the circle box and placed beer all around the cup. Finally, I placed the last beer on top of the solo cup. The I embellished with fake snow, tissue paper, battery operated lights, beer nuts, and a star.

What man in your life would not like to receive one of these Christmas trees? I am so sick of giving gift cards I thought this was a great option to give someone something they like on a more personal level.
