HAPPY CHANUKAH!

Tomorrow night is the first night of Chanukah. I have so many great memories from my family's Chanukah growing up and I can't wait to start those traditions with my family in the years to come. Growing up I couldn't wait for my dad to get home from work each of the 8 nights of Chanukah so we could light the menorah and open our alloted one gift of the night. My parents would display the beautifully wrapped presents on the dining room table and my brother and I were each allowed to open one gift each night. Generally the last night was saved for the biggest gift. My parents always went out of their way to make the holiday extra special and I hope I can pass that down to my family as well.
As far as baby updates, nothing really to report at the moment. Beginning my 17th week and I am finally starting to feel a little better. I go 2 weeks from tomorrow for the big ultrasound and am anxiously counting down days to see baby and find out if we're having a future figure skater or hockey player! Below are a couple of photos... The first is our latest purchase for the nursery, a changing table/dresser and sitting on top is my AMAZING Chanukah present my AMAZING husband surprised me with this evening...a Coach diaper bag! (To give you an idea on how much I've been wanting this, I would go into the Coach store and just stare at it!). And the second picture is my latest baby bump taken yesterday. My jeans are becoming increasingly more snug and I think the switch over to maternity pants is in my very near future.
