there has been some serious silence over here on the ol' blog, and for that i apologize! thing are getting to the home stretch of this pregnancy and i've been taking it easy these past few days. i was actually told that my blood pressure was a bit high at my last check up, so i was given orders to drink water like a camel and kick up my feet whenever possible. so that i did, and at my check up yesterday all was back to normal... thank goodness!

so here are some peeks at what i've been up to in between the water, the resting, and the rewatching of lost from the very first episode...

*a wee bit of decorating for christmas*

*sipping warm beverages from my new santa mug*

*eating delicious noms*

*a little trip with the mr to a local general store*

*baking sweet vegan treats for a christmas gathering*

*lunch with friends and their adorable kids*

*snuggling pups... lots of snuggling to be exact*

*realizing that this is our last christmas with just two stockings. next year we'll have a wee one to share it with*

i can't believe that today is christmas eve eve. i've never had a christmas away from my fam in NY, so it's feeling pretty odd not being with them this year. it just doesn't feel like christmas. thankfully evans family is here, and more are coming into town, so we'll be spending the next few days getting some quality time with them... and waiting for penny's arrival of course!
