This is so great

So I'm sitting here typing away, and little Charlotte is literally STANDING on my bladder. This is her favorite position. She moves and kicks and punches all day, but she never fails to be resting all her weight on my bladder. It's actually kind of funny. I love being able to feel her move. Poor George tries everyday to feel her and he never does. He said he felt a little kick about a week ago, but he hasn't felt anything since then.

I have moved into a new salon and I love it!! The place is called Sola Salons and my salon in the building is called Rave Studio. I love, love LOVE it!! It is such a beautiful place. I only work Monday through Wednesday because I share a station with another girl. But this week has been great. Yesterday on my first day off I finished SO much with primary stuff and also got to hang out at my parents house for a while. Today I am going to organize Charlotte's room. It has kind of been a hold all for everything baby and you pretty much can't see the floor :) I'm so excited for her to be here. I can't wait to see what she looks like and to see what features she gets from George and I. This is such a cool experience.

My mom made all these cute receiving blankets for the baby. My favorite is the red one with cherries. SO CUTE! She also made a 'lovey'. It's just a little blankie that has tags and ribbons all around it. I guess it's really comforting or something for a little kid. She also made this cute hoodie bath towel. She said she'll do a pink one and a brown one to match the room. I'm excited to have her room all decorated. A sweet lady I used to work with is sewing me a crib set that's pink and brown with polka dots. It's adorable. And my cousin is going to do some vinyl for the wall as soon as I get over there to find the font I want. This is fun, to make her room all cute and ready for her!!

Hallelujah!!!

Ok, everyone. I am officially the happiest/most excited I've been since my wedding day.... maybe?? ha ha. This coming week is the last week I will be working at the salon I have been in for almost 3 years. It's been a good experience and I have built up my clientele to where I need it to be for a good income. But I am finally leaving and moving on to a better place that will be so so fabulous and wonderful!! I'll give more details after spending more time there. Wish me luck in the moving process! BAH I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Job search...

George needs a better job. If anyone knows of anything he could do between now and July let us know. Also, he needs either a better car or someone who can replace his power steering for free. Again, let us know. And Rebecca needs more lemonade and sleep. That is all.........

Halfway Mark!

Now instead of counting up, I think I'm going to count down! So.... only 19 weeks to go! I'm excited. I can finally feel her moving now. And just this morning it's been more than just rolling around, I've actually felt little kicks and nudges. It's so cool! Feeling her move has made it so real now. I can't believe we're going to be parents. Here is the classic side-view-belly-shot. Enjoy. hehe This is more for my record than anything else.

We had a fabulous Christmas together. No pictures though, dang it. We got lots of cute baby stuff, some gift cards and lots of tools. George wants to build stuff so bad now! We also are normal people now that actually have games. We got Apples to Apples, Trouble, Scrabble and Monopoly. Now we can have people over to play!! Friday we just sat around the house then went and saw "Seven Pounds". Great movie. Sort of confusing for the true blonde though. I need to see it again. We had George's brothers and friend over on Thursday night to play games and my family over Friday night to play games. We had a blast. Yesterday we went over to the Gunderson's and played Guitar Hero. Love that game. And now George loves it so hopefully we'll get it someday for our Wii. It's been really nice to just lounge around and not have any plans. Back to the grind on Monday!

The Husband....

I'm sure many of you have a husband similar to my own. Let me explain. A week or so after Thanksgiving we discussed about how much money we would spend on each other for Christmas and limiting the gifts to only a couple each. Now, "a couple" to me would be 2 MAYBE 3 gifts each. Totally fine! I finished my 2 gifts last week. George came home saturday with 4. So I got two more today and he came home with another one. Rude. Sweet, but rude. :o) I remember this discussion that my mom and dad had almost every year for every Christmas or whatever. "Only one thing ok?" and my dad ALWAYS got more than one, or spent more money. It always made my mom mad and now I know why. I feel like I have to out-do my own husband... not ok. Maybe that wasn't her reasoning. I'd like to know mom!
I'm excited to be with family tomorrow for Christmas. It'll be great. Tonight I am making a fancy Christmas Eve dinner just for the two of us. Bread with oil and vinegar, Italian salad, Pork loin and Twice baked potatoes, and chocolate covered gelato (thank you costco). YUM. My mom always made a really nice dinner for Christmas Eve. We always had it on the China with the pretty silverware and goblets for our ice water. And candles. I remember this one year my mom went all out and served the dinner in courses. It was so fun and very memorable. I'm excited to bring the fancy dinner tradition to my own family. Oh, because I know you all are on the edge of your seats, we have finally decided that our little girls name will be Charlotte Luella.
Love you all! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hell froze over :o)

It totally did!!! Oh man it started snowing yesterday around 11am and didn't stop until late in the evening. It was so so beautiful. Most snow since 1979! It's so crazy, I was wondering why the city was in a panic because of a mere 3-6 inches of snow in the valley. The reason why was explained to me on the news yesterday. There are only 12 snowplows in the entire Clark County (big county), and we don't keep things on hand like salt to de-ice the roads. So it was scary. Oh and no one here has snow tires, so the roads were all at 20mph and the freeways at maybe 40. I love it. I didn't get to enjoy it until around 5pm when it was dark so these pictures are kind of dark. Anyway, it was so beautiful. I loved it!!

It's.... a......

GIRL!!!!! BAH!!! I seriously cannot tell you how stinkin' excited I am! George is so happy too. He was completely expecting it to be a boy (doesn't every guy?) and took a little ego shot when he was wrong. But he got over it quick and we both can't wait to see what our little Charlotte will look like. What do you think about these middle names??
Charlotte Luella
Charlotte Joan
We have narrowed it down to these two. Luella is my Grandma's name and Joan is one of my wonderful aunt's name. So there is SOME significance. We'll see what we decide.
Anyway, I am in search of any blogs or websites any of you have seen that show you how to make cute baby headbands and bows, so let me know!

BAH! I JUST CAN"T WAIT!!!

Only 2 more days and we'll get to find out if this cute little Hunt inside of me is a boy or girl!! I am so excited!! I was at Target getting some little decorations and found this ADORABLE tiny stocking to match our stockings! Oh I just love it. I know some people might think it's weird that I got a stocking for our unborn child, but you know what?? I don't care! It's my baby and I am so excited for him/her to be here with us. So I got the stocking and hung it up. Love it.

Fun tag.... You're it!

I'm glad someone started a new one because I was getting bored with all the photo tags. Anyway, here it is. TRY IT!!

1. Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages. Don't pick the coolest or most impressive one, just the NEAREST one.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence and post it!
4. Spread this tag to as many people as you can.

Ok so here is mine. The book is called "Japanese-English, English-Japanese Dictionary". Ha ha, George always has it out so he can look up random things. Since there aren't sentences, I went to page 123 and am just posting the fifth word... kekkon suru, adj. (then there's a bunch of kanji writing) get married. Ha ha, kind of funny. It's a sign to all the single women out there :) jk
