Somebody's kicking me!

So I haven't posted a BPF (belly picture friday) in a long time let alone on a friday! Well here's my most recent, I'm sure we'll start to see the changes in the next several weeks.
Travis felt Little T kick last night!! I was so surprised he could feel him since I'm only 20 weeks! We were watching Steven King's 'IT' and Little T was flipping and kicking like crazy so I told Trav and he put his hand on my stomach and Little T kept on kicking!! Trav had an awesome smile on his face. It was an awesome milestone! Trav said he couldn't believe that he was that strong. That's our boy! :)

What an exciting 2 weeks this will be! It's Christmas week & then New Year's week! Sounds like lots of fun and family time.

I've started the tedious task of house cleaning, since we will be hosting Christmas dinner. I say tedious because we have 3 cats and a husband, and they're messy! Today I got our bedroom cleaned and laundry done. Tomorrow I have to work till 4 pm and then I hope I'm feeling up to it to tackle the 'cave' or furture baby room! It's not too bad, just Trav's clothes everywhere and the desk is full of papers that need to be filed away.

I went to the grocery store today to get the necessary supplies to make Jelly Cookies, Old Fashioned Peanut Butter cookies, fudge, and chocolate pretzels. Yummy! I will be giving these out to the grandparents and parents as Christmas presents because they insist that they don't want anything for Christmas. I need to make at least enough cookies to give out to 6 different groups! That sounds like a lot of baking on Christmas Eve. Did I mention that I've never made cookies from scratch before!!?? I just learned today that there's a difference between baking powder and baking soda! The hubby asked me when did I become a cook tonight as he was dishing out his corned beef and cabbage dinner. ....good question actually... Maybe it's the housewife-mommy instinct that's kicked into me. But he's right, ever since we got married I've been a cooking-beast!
