~*Moon Dust*~: Elf on the Shelf *~

Good morning world! Today is the last day of November. I can't believe how quickly Halloween & Thanksgiving have come & gone. We are now moving into the Christmas spirit in our house! Today is the first day of our weekend with my stepson. He arrived this morning ill, poor baby. I am so thrilled to introduce him to "Jasper", our first elf on the shelf! My friend Ashley and I have been discussing our elfies with each other and she's just as excited (if not more) than me. She has two little ones & I can't wait to hear how her her introduction to this tradition goes! Ashley directed me to Pinterest for different ideas of things to do with our elf. My plan is to have my husband and I walk Cristian over to the office at our complex and have the employees there announce that a package from the North Pole has arrived for him.

I have really been slacking with posting about my pregnancy. I am now 33 weeks and 3 days. Nicolas is moving very often. I love when I lay down and he starts swimming around in there haha! I have gotten a few good videos of his activity. I have been told by my friends that I will miss feeling him after he's born. I am ready for him to be here though. I am definitely more uncomfortable. Walking is a chore, breathing is more difficult, I've earned my "stripes" (stretch marks) lol and the fatigue has set back in! Overall, however, I have had a great pregnancy & I am blessed to have this experience. I've always dreamt of becoming a mommy and I am so excited to meet my little prince.
