yes, this is a weak attempt at a title, and to blur the whole month into ONE post...what kind of blogger AM i!?!?! :) Sorry friends...you get what you get:) Here is a fun update from the month...i wish i had more pictures to share, but there are a feW!November in a Nutshell...
· I participated in jury duty for the first time in my life. It was fun…although I would have loved to be more involved and do my civic duty, I was a little relieved when I was not picked. It was a highly covered case here in the county. So instead, I got paid to sit in the courtroom for one day and read a book. No complaints from this girl….:) oh, except the seating in there should be paddedJ hehe Here was the trial result: Trisha Stratman

· We had our first baby shower back home at my sister’s house. it was fabulous! actually pretty surreal to see all of these adorable baby things…and wait……this is for OUR baby…J it’s a great thought…but I still sometimes need to stop and think about it. weird. I love my family…my sister/mom really know how to throw a good party! Baby Young is one lucky kiddo!
· We got a cocktail table for our kitchen. It was a nifty lil switch-er-roo that my sister and I did with tables. It rocks!! Our kitchen is small and has been sans-kitchen table since we have lived there…and I have just felt like our kitchen was never complete. Well, it now has a more “home-y” feel to it….i love it!!! J
· Participated in the Pahl cookie bake!! yippee! We didn’t get to stay very long, but it is always nice to catch up with all the Aunties and their crazy cookie bakeJ They are, straight up, IMPRESSIVE! Then I got to babysit our nephew, Easton, for the first timeJ He was an angel!! lexi had fun with him too….although there was an ABUNDANCE of puppy kisses, but Easton didn’t seem to mind one bitJ

| Yes...we stood outside. |
· Went Black Friday shopping at midnight…probably won’t do that again, ironically, I actually think I like waking up early better….less competition. We stood in line for almost 2 hours for a TV…just to go up to pay for it and be told they are “out”….hmm….thanks, pretty ballsy comment to a pregnant lady who is up WAY past her bedtime.
· Hunter has been spending a lot of time hunting. Has he gotten a deer, you ask…? No…I don’t know what the hold up is?….Daddy needs to “provide for the family”J hehehe jk!
· We are in super doper basement mode…and its pretty much DONE!! YIPPPEEEE!!! We completed the painting/carpeting on November 30th. I will post pictures soon, maybe in my “holiday bucket list update”…assuming I follow through and actually do oneJ ha. Last night (December 1st…so technically this should be in the December updateJ), it was completed with the hanging of wall décor, deer heads (YES, I said deer heads…and YES, I am the best wife ever) and a new TV…woot woot! ALSO…lexi was VERY scared of the basement throughout this entire process…..she now….LOVES it…or is at least getting CLOSER to loving it. That makes Hunter and I VERY happy. But who were we kidding…she’d go crazy not hanging out and spending quality time with us…and visa versaJ Love that lil puppy pants.
· Oh, did I mention I have an abdominal hernia? Yea, weird, right? So I got that checked out…its above my belly button, and it sticks out. So I have a hernia, NOT a belly button, that sticks out of my pregnant belly. awkward. I am advised to get it surgically removed post-babykins.
· We went xmas tree hunting…I am going to save that for the December update…just seems more fittingJ

| Please note, this is NOT my actual belly, but this is what it looked like:) |
Oh…one last thing, also, should be in a December update, but I just cant wait any longer…I had the greatest little surprise this morning…as I was lubing up my baby belly (sorry, was that a bad mental picture? hehehe) I looked in the mirror (which I often try to avoid) and saw this CRAZY looking thing on my belly…started to have a mini-heart attack wondering what is THAT now…and finally…a light bulb went on…it was Baby’s foot!!…Okay, to be honest, I am not 100% sure what body part it was, but it is now permanently engraved in my memory as Baby’s footprint. and SERIOUSLY…it was the most precious little footprint I could have ever imagined….that is OUR baby’s lil foot!! I called hunter instantly and told him about it and said how I wish he would have been able to see it with me…instead, I made lexi check it out…she was impressed!!
