New Numbers and GIVEAWAY!
This month I have been very slow to post our December numbers because there wasn't much movement, and we've actually seen these numbers before so I didn't want to have to search for new number pictures.
So here we go... #51 girl (moved 4) and #30 boy (no movement).
This has been a tough few weeks for me. I've really struggled with "baby fever" and can totally relate to Tina Fey in "Baby Mama" where she is surrounded by cute babies! Seriously, I can't step out of my house without seeing little ones and my heart just aches for our baby!
Another reason why this month is tough is that we are on the 6th month of being on the waitlist. Honestly, I thought we'd be farther along at this point but I know that the timing will be perfect and I shouldn't get hung up on numbers.
So instead of focusing on the slow movement or uncertainties of time, I want to do something FUN! So here is my second giveaway!
This year I made Africa ornaments for a few people... would you like one? They are very imperfect and homemade, but surely someone out there would like one?? (and no, I'm NOT selling them!)
All you need to do is comment on this post with your favorite part of the Christmas holiday! I'll draw a winner using random.org on Wednesday, December 15 at 12 Noon :) Make sure to leave your email address if you don't have a blogger account- that way I can contact you to mail it!
Pssst- if you're still looking for a homemade Christmas gift idea, check out the comments on my first giveaway! There are LOTS of creative ideas there!
Psst- there's another SUPER CUTE Africa ornament giveaway here!

very cute!!! This year I am so looking forward to Christmas because my 2.5 year old can understand and is so excited :)
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to Lydia's first Christmas and just being with family!! (love the ornaments!)
ReplyDeleteLove the Africa ornament! This year we are excited to be celebrating Christmas as a family of three. We are looking forward to slowing down life and getting away for a week!
ReplyDeleteI love our stocking scavenger hunts! It started with John's family, and I learned the tradition the first Christmas I spent with them. Now, we've started it with Luke and leave clues around the home to find his stocking on Christmas morning.
ReplyDeletePraying for you Rebekah!
Praying for you, sweet Bekah!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the ornament!! My favorite part of Christmas is the feeling of the season, being with family, and celebrating such an amazing Savior!! Can't wait until we're both celebrating this time as a family of 3!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Christmas is singing Christmas carols. And my favorite line from Joy to the World...He comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the Africa ornament and would love the chance at one to hang on my tree!!! =)
ReplyDeleteI love spending time with my family during the holidays.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Love the cute ornament!!! My favorite part of Christmas is going to the Christmas Eve service at our church, and them tons of family and friends come back to our house for dinner! So fun!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute ornament! I love it! PLUS... I like you're new blog look! Well done! My favorite part about Christmas is listening to some old school Amy Grant Christmas music while decorating the tree and the house to look all festive!
ReplyDeleteI love how every year my husband comes up with a crazy way to wrap/hide my baby sister's gift. :)
ReplyDeleteI love sharing the time with family, and building our crazy gingerbread houses every year with my grandparents!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Christmas is spending time with family. We usually get the entire extended family together and have brunch together and then spend the rest of the day just hanging out together. It's the one time of year we can get everyone together.
ReplyDeleteI love this ornament!! You make me so jealous with your cute craftiness. My favorite part of the Holidays is the time spent with family :) Can't beat that! And it will be so much more fun once there is a baby along for the fun!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Christmas is the week between Christmas and New Years when most everyone is off of work and we can relax
