Christmas in pics

Handsome boy at church next to the huge poinsetta Christmas tree!

He doesn't look so excited in this picture but he was stoked when he opened up the Thomas set and he is just concentrating on how to set it up here!  

I was hoping he would get a puppy pillow pet and Uncle Kyle delivered on that wish without any hints! He LOVES sleeping next to his big puppy every night!  

He looked so dapper in his cousin's hand me down sweater!  

I really need to de-flower this stocking and get Riley's name on it-so excited that we will be hanging 4 next year!  

Sweet boy after a weekend of fun, relaxing with a movie, his favorite toy and his lovie!  

I warned you it was a picture overload : )  

34 Weeks!

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

WEEKS: 34 weeks!

BABY'S SIZE: 18.5 inches, 4.5 lbs-5 lbs, the baby is the size/weight of a cantaloupe!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN: 25 lbs now and I am perfectly fine with that.  Yes, I give into cravings rather easily as time/energy are lacking and the Dr says we could just say 20 lbs gained because I was 5 lbs underweight to start with : )  That makes me smile-literally!

SLEEP: Sleeping great with a few bathroom breaks everynight.

MOVEMENT: She is head down already and you can tell because I can feel her head shaking slowly from side to side trying to get comfy very low!

SYMPTOMS: Starting to feel like a whale.  : )  Pregnancy rash is getting worse so the Doc gave me antibiotics to take 3 times a day to hopefully knock it out since it's uncomfortable, especially since it's right around my lips!  

WHAT I MISS: Nothing, just so thankful to be in the here and now!

CRAVINGS: Nothing really except that new baby smell.

MATERNITY CLOTHES: Starting to wear maternity jeans more regularly.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO: Another 4 day work week, sleeping in on Friday and ringing in the New Year with my 2 favorite men (okay-we will probably all be sleeping by midnight!) I am really looking forward to taking down the Christmas decorations and sterilizing the new bottles and nuks while the boys are gone on Thursday!  I love the details!    

Christmas Sneak Peak

This boy had so much fun Christmas Eve...the WOW's, ooh's and ahhh's, eating of the num nums, enjoying the attention of everyone in the room and getting to open lots and lots of presents (some even en route delivering them to the correct recipient).  He opened one of Katie's gift to find Aveda moisturizer and other girly things and was so impressed that the plastered smile on his face grew even bigger and he exclaimed "Wow, wook!"  Hilarious, priceless, one of the best Christmas Eve's ever.  This picture just about says it all.  Look at that smile...That is one very happy 2 year old! 

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

It has almost been our third Christmas with a child and next year we will be celebrating with 2!  I love looking back at these cards and seeing the changes!  Merry Christmas to you and your family!
