31 weeks

I forgot to post this during the week of the 22nd.

Last Monday, 12/22/08, I went to the doctor's office for a non-stress test. All weekend the baby barely moved and I had first time pregnancy concerns. Everything turned out to be just fine but I did get a picture of her at 31 weeks. She is holding up her left hand infront of her face.

Christmas Time

Christmas came and flew by; we had so much going on that our 4 day weekend seemed like a 2 day weekend.

Santa was good to Elsie and Logan. They got tug ropes, chew bones, and Elsie got her favorite squeaky chicken. She has been squeaking it non stop; she even put it next to the baby and the baby kicked back after she squeaked for the baby. The baby got Ian a Denver Broncos Baby Mobile. All though it is depressing to hang up after last nights loss.
This Christmas we were blessed. A special friend of the family joined us for Christmas, Mr. Rich Nethaway. It was wonderful to finally meet him and hear his stories from his past. He brought Ian and Corey some really special gifts from his younger years. Ian and I both agree that when we are 20 years younger than Rich currently is we want to be just as sharp and independent as him.

For all of those who have asked... here it is my 31 centimeter belly.

Turkey Day Surprise

This last week I took my last flight home to California to spend some much needed time with my family. Upon my return Ian surprised me with with what he had accomplished in the baby's room. While I was away, Ian purchased the baby furniture and set up the room. It is absolutly beautiful! It seems weird to have that furniture in my home but it looks great.

Sunday, we did our annual Christmas Tree find. It was freezing out but we still had a great time. On the way home, I looked at Elsie and Logan (who were passed out in the back of the Jeep) and realized this would be the last time we could take the jeep with the dogs. From now on, the truck will have to be our tree vehicle. I got the dogs Christmas hats this year. I customized Elsie's so her ears could stick out on top. They don't look very appreciative.
