In preparation for moving, Chris and I have started packing up boxes. I told him they are like loaves and fishes--- stuff just keeps coming and coming. We are already deep in boxes and I don't feel like we are any closer to being packed up. The good news is we just got a closing date of December 29th for our new house in LAS VEGAS, where apparently it is currently snowing:
We are so excited, apprehensive, and grateful. Everything has fallen into place perfectly for us over the last few months, from Christopher getting a job to us finding and loving this house.

Over the next two days, we have to finish packing & I have four more finals and a paper. Then we are off to Gilmer for a much needed break and some nicer weather. We can't wait to see Chris' family and get some Bodacious barbeque!

My lovely mom scheduled a 3D ultrasound for us while we were down for Thanksgiving. Little Baby Claire was not entirely cooperative, she kept her hands by her face the whole time, and because she is still breech (please flip!) her face was jammed into the placenta. However, I think we still got out with a few really sweet shots of her squishy face, including the bottom one with her foot all the way up by her head! Plus, because we get a re-do since she wouldn't look at us so I am really looking forward to even more time spying on her!

I just keep getting more and more excited for her to come. We ordered her crib this week:

It is so pretty and feminine but it turns into a head and footboard so it can be Claire's bedset forever (if we ever have a boy), so I justified the purchase. I have been looking for "the" crib for a long time and I am so glad we found this one-- it is just perfect!!

Now to just find a house to put it in...
