Christmas

We had a wonderful and busy Christmas. We went to dinner on Christmas Eve with my parents and intended on coming back here to our house open gifts, but as usual nothing ever goes as planned. There wasn't enough time for gifts before church. . .oh darn, I guess we would have to go to my parents house for Christmas brunch after all. Christmas day was spent traveling from house to house visiting family. After brunch we stopped by my sister's and that was when it really felt like Christmas. We were greeted in the driveway by 3 children in jammies all screaming with joy about the wonderful gifts they got from Santa. And then it was off to the Naves' for more gifts and dinner. Leah was definitely more interested in the wrapping and boxes, but still added some extra joy to the day.

We hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and we can't wait for next year to have our little one here for all the joy!

Week 29

The third trimester is ok so far. I am just starting to get a little less energy, but not too bad. It could be due to lack of sleep. The pregnancy insomnia continues, but I look at it as training for when the baby arrives. I was given my kick count card at my appointment on monday and laughed because we have 2 hours to get 10 movements and often that only takes about 2 minutes! That is going to be one full card. The baby is measuring right on target, and all my numbers including labs are great! So, this holiday season we feel blessed for what has been and hopefully will continue to be a healthy pregnancy and before too long a healthy baby!

We had Christmas with my mom's side of the family last night. Lots of food, laughs and gifts. I of course was not good about taking pictures, but did have Jack take one of the weekly "belly pics" I am always asking for when we got home.

We hope you all have a blessed Holiday and Happy New Year!

Weeks 26-28

26-27 weeks
Well, the last few weeks we have been busy preparing for the holidays with shopping and baking and visiting friends and family. We saw all our nieces and nephew in their church christmas programs and have had a few holiday get togethers. Unfortunately we missed a few too as I was in rear ended about a week and a half ago and spent a few days resting. Everyone is fine, I am just taking a few weeks off to rest my back, or should I say my Dr is insisting I take a few weeks off to rest my back so I am all healed for the arrival of baby naves.
The baby is very active these days and my new favorite when s/he gets the hiccups! Sometimes they can be felt by others, but usually just me and I must admit I kind of like that.
