lime!

can you believe it? our little one is already the size of a lime! i've been feeling great and happy and loving being pregnant! its fun to talk with brian about baby names and cloth diapers (look up the difference in cost between disposable and cloth...it'll blow your mind) and ooh and aah at the cute kids at church, knowing we'll have one of those pretty soon. at our ward Christmas party the other night, a couple in our ward let me hold their little girl for awhile. she's about five months old. then it hit me; next Christmas, our baby would be about the same age. so wild! we are so dang excited!

other than the pregnancy which, yes, takes up about 99% of my brain space, we are doing well. brian is nearly done his first semester of engineering and approaching finals. he has done so well this semester, and has great grades in all of his classes! now he just needs to study study study and do well on those finals.

yesterday we had a fun little adventure and went out for the afternoon. we went to canadian tire and bought a magnetic spice rack, which i am like, SO ecstatic about. (i love home-things. a lot.) between a gift card i had from work and canadian tire money, we paid 94 cents for it. we love doing that at canadian tire. then we drove to the north end to a pawn shop. sketchy. brian sold some dvds we don't want, and we made almost enough money for the movies. only had to pay a dollar more. ha. days like yesterday are the best.

we took the pawn money and finally saw "inception." holy. moly. have you seen it yet? my brain exploded in the first five minutes. it was amazing. we loved it. loved it, and were confused by it. go see it so we can talk about it.
