24th and 25th

I'll be doing the Christmas re-cap in a few posts, mostly because some of the pictures are still on the camera :)

We were all home on the 24th and Chloe went outside in the snow for the first time this winter. Kevin stayed outside longer than I did - I just snapped a few pictures :)

Here is Chloe all bundled up:


She really seemed to like being outside.....who cares that it's cold? :)


Later in the day we had dinner and then got dressed up for the Christmas Eve service at church:


Christmas morning! We opened presents by the tree at our house first.

What could this be?...

A new sippy cup!

Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa B's house. There was one present that was almost as big as Chloe:

It was a grocery cart and "groceries" for Chloe! She has had a lot of fun pushing it around and 'shopping' :)

Chloe got a lot of other great gifts too - clothes, a ball, bath toys, and this pair of slippers from Aunt Michelle's boyfriend:

We spent the rest of the day eating and playing the Wii. It was a fun, snowy Christmas Day! Next post? the 26th and 27th :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
