36 weeks


All is going well with the pregnancy! We are almost 37 weeks and have only NINE DAYS TO GO!!! Last week, my dr. did an ultarsound to determine the babies weight. Much to her surprise, the baby was only about 6 lbs. 3 oz. I have been measuring 3 weeks ahead for several weeks, so I wouldn't be surprised if the baby comes out closer to 8 lbs. Reed was 8 lbs. 4 oz. so that makes more sense. Isn't each baby supposed to be bigger than the last. Camden was only 6 lbs. 12 oz. (such a peanut) and Jack was 7 lbs. 12 oz. Our family even has a gender/weight poll going. So far, half guessed boy and half guessed girl. Guess we'll know soon enough!

It's been a fun ride but I am ready for it to stop! I'm just trying to enjoy this last time being pregnant. But insomnia, acid reflux, a big ole belly make it tough. Oh well, it's very much a wonderful blessing!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas at our house this year! Loads of family and friends to spend it with! And heaps of presents! It took us until 2 pm to finish opening gifts so that should explain it all. Plus, the kids still like to play with each toy as they open it. not much longer, and they'll be rushing off to the next gift. So we'll enjoy it for now!

Camden asked Santa for clogs (like her teacher has), Reed and Jack asked for a new train and a pirate ship. Luckily, Santa was generous! And so were Mimi and Pop, Nana and Papa, Aunt Cole, Aunt Tori, And Funcle. Oh yeah, and Mommy and Daddy! We have some great new things to play with!!!

Because I am a SLACKER...

Oh man! I stink at this whole blogging thing! So here are a few pictures to catch you up on all of our happeneings...

Attempting a group picture for our Christmas card!




Failed! No pics of everyone together! Can you tell who was unhappy and uncooperative?

Belly shots and baby update



Oh, I am growing more and more everyday (as my husband has pointed out!) These pics are from 2 weeks ago and I am now 35 weeks. Only 3 to go as the c-section is scheduled for Wednesday, 1/7/2009 at 7 am!

Things are going well with the pregnancy! No problems besides being uncomfortable, absent-mindedness, loads of heartburn,... But I can handle all of that! We have an ultrasound next Tuesday as my belly is measuring 3 weeks ahead of where I should be. I guess that Little Dude is quite big! Anyhow, we can't wait to meet our final addition and to see what "it" is!!!

Karate Camden and Karate Jack


Here is their new favorite activity! I think Jack just has a crush on the teacher and Camden likes it "because the teacher says I'm good!" Whatever! They are wasy too cute doing it!

Grandparents Day



Camden's school had a really fun day just for Grandparents! They had lunch with her (and 100 other Kindergardeners!) and then toured her classroom. Camden was so tickled because "she and Brynn (friend) had the most grandparents there!" How cool!

Our 1st Christmas and Thanksgiving






AKA Nana, Papa, and cousin Nathan come to visit!

We had a BLAST with our gang a few weeks ago celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Eddie's Birthday! It was SO cold that I think Nana and Papa had to go back to FL to thaw out! It was an awesome visit! Plus, Nana will be back very soon to visit again and help with the new baby!

Scoot gets married!



Here are a few shots from Scottie and Kendra's wedding 2 weekends ago. It was a beautiful winter wedding complete with snow that started just before the ceremony - how perfect! The pcitures of Eddie and I didn't turn out (go figure!) So here's one of the newlyweds and me and my girlfriend, Anne.
