Time Flies

Wow Christmas is almost here and I have done nothing other than put up a tree. YIKES!!!

I guess it's a good thing that bought Colby Christmas gift at a garage sale this fall.

And it's a good thing that my mom has been out and about and picked a few other things for me here and there.

I thought I would have time after finishing the semester on December 10th.

I had professors that were kind enough to let me take finals a week early so that "just in case" the baby cam early I would have everything done.

I turned in my final paper on Friday the 10th at 1:00 p.m.

I went into labor on Saturday the 11th at 1:30 a.m.

So much for the 6 days I thought I had to get everything ready.

I went to the hospital after throwing a few things in a bag (no I had not packed it yet, I had 6 days)

and having nothing ready for the baby much less Christmas!

So the baby (thing 2) came at 12:43 p.m. on Saturday and there went the "6 days" I was counting on to get everything ready for Christmas.

Now Christmas is here and I am lucky that my sister is in town and has been willing to come over and stay with the baby so I can run out for a short minute when I need to.

I have given up on all the "hoopla" of Christmas and realized that it's not about that anyway.

We will be having a very simple Christmas this year filled with holding a new baby and mingling with family!

I am SO grateful for this wonderful reminder that came  to our lives a little early.

He has been the most wonderful blessing and has helped me really remember the real reason we celebrate this wonderful holiday!

With all that said,

my house is a mess,

my in-laws will be at my house tomorrow,

and I still need to go to the grocery store.

Somehow, I don't feel stressed.

I just know that everything will be just fine,

holding a baby seems to make everything all better anyway!

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope that everyone feels the same peace I am feeling these days.

Yes my life with two kids under two is a little crazy,

But I don't feeling crazy on the inside it just looks like it on the outside!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
