Day 358 - Christmas Eve at our house & Dinner at Sullivans

No more trips back to Nebraska after Thanksgiving . . . that's how Q & I decided to handle travel since I am oh-so pregnant with twins. So tonight we had our first ever on-our-own Christmas Eve. We decided to go to Sullivan's steak house (another first, although I have been tot he one on Omaha) anyway. We had a really nice dinner

(that wine glass in front of me is Quinn's - duh!)

Our meals were delicious and the service was great too

After dinner we did get some family time in. We went to Quinn's brother house to visit a bit and have some dessert (yummy cannoli's).

We headed home to relax a bit before going to midnight mass at our church. We often do midnight mass back in Omaha with my family, but always have to get there early so we can all sit together, so we decided to head to our mass early too - just in case, even though it was just the 2 of us . . . and so we got lots of extra prayers in :) The procession into mass was abloutely precious and brought me to tears. A sweet little girl, about 4 years old and with special needs walked in with Father, carrying the baby Jesus that she placed into the crib scene in front of the church. What a perfect way to start the celebration of the greatest gift - Jesus's birth!

Day 357 - My Brest Friend

Check out this fancy new pillow Quinn bought for me today.

It's my 'brest friend' for feeding the twins. The lady from our breast feeding class told us about it, so we decided we will give it a try - I'll take all the help I can get!!

Day 356 - Glace

Tonight we went to Glace, a great new ice cream place in town and I am so glad we did.

They had a variety of interesting flavors and plenty of traditional ones to choose from too. I think my favorite thing was the chocolate & caramal sauces. It was seriously the best ice cream I have had in along time (maybe ever)

Amazing ice cream! = Happy pregnant lady :)

Day 355 - Sweater Comb

After about a week of hunting for a sweater comb, I finally found a site that had just the thing, CLICK HERE. I had to order it online, but once it arrives I will be sure to add some pictures of a demo of the tool.

I heard about this in a Martha Stewart magazine or maybe the TV show a while back and have been wanting one ever since. Hopefully it's worth all the effort!

Day 354 - A new Knitting Project

Today I went to the yarn store and got a new type of yarn, a new set of needles and am starting a project for someone I have never knit anything for, before. I also had to have the yarn shoppe wind my yarn for me, which was another first . . . I can't wait to finish so I can share with you.

It's off to a great start!

Day 353 - Curtains for the Nursery

Tongiht Quinn got all of the drapes hung in the nursery - They look so great!

These are the same panels we hung - I didn't use the valance, but some sheers instead. Once I reveal the nursery you can see how it all came together :)

Day 352 - Ill Momma-to-be

Well, I made it just over 33 weeks of pregnancy without getting sick, but today that all changed. I have never felt so icky! (seriously, it has been a terrible day)

It started at about 4:30 A.M. this morning and I have done nothing all day.

I've called the doctor twice, just to be safe and everything seems to be safe for the babies so I am just taking it easy!

I am starting to feel better, so hopefully I will be able to get in a good nights sleep tonight and start to feel better soon.
