change is gonna come

i feel obligated to write about the holidays, but to be honest, i'm over it. about two days after Christmas, we took all the decorations down, hauled the tree to the alley, and put away new toys. it felt great. not to say we didn't have an amazing holiday. we did. we were able to spend a little bit of time with all sides of the family and it was hectic, but well worth it.

christmas in chicago:

 (skyping with the ryans)

 (me and emma!)

 
christmas in indianapolis:

christmas in muncie:

 (pawpaw and his boys)

 
but now that the holidays are over, we are in full blown baby mode. daily i've been sending steven links to decorating ideas for the nursery. we have unpacked, washed, and put away baby clothes. spent about a week of sleepless nights getting crosby to sleep in the bottom bunk in his new room with jack. my pregnancy has gone from tolerable...to less tolerable. my emotions from excited...to just ready to be done with this pregnancy...to terror! but in five weeks (hopefully less) this family of four is becoming a family of five! more carr family updates to come...
